To live is to create.

What is creation?

  • To connect and order disparate and disparate things so that they make sense.

  • In simple terms, “to sic.”

Example

  • Combining wood and reinforcing steel to build houses
    • It is not meaninglessly assembled.
    • Assembled to make sense (= to be inhabited)
  • Painter paints a picture from several paints
  • Assembling parts to build a locomotive
  • Locomotives are loaded with coal and water and run to a certain destination.

Each element has the following

  • Qualitative specificity
  • Direction of motion and force

Human beings are creative agents.

  • Human beings are the subjects of such creation and the place where the traffic is organized.

  • To live is to create an orderly flow in this way chaotic.
