It is in the flux of the PresentNow that we, as integrated systems, must guarantee, in the FutureNow, the sustainability that guarantees our permanence as living systems. But what is this FutureNow?! What does it mean?! We are always a to be(ing) (verb). We must guarantee in the immediate future our conditions of (onto)presence, otherwise, we cannot survive.
The “future” is our position in the “flux” of permanence: we have to be before ourselves to be in ourselves, we must anticipate in the “flux” our presence in the permanence of ourselves, and this is our “afterness”: we, each of us, are after ourselves. Indeed, while, in terms of chronological ordering, the future comes after the present, in ontological terms, the FutureNow comes before the PresentNow, it is about permanence and sustainability as PresenceThere.
We must enact ourselves, we must enact the permanence of ourselves in ourselves: that is self-sustainability, that is autopoiesis.
