Prehension isn’t the recognition of one entity to another. It’s an interaction between two entities. Prehension allows for [[Nexi]] to form such as, water and air creating the nexus of the water cycle. - Prehension consists of two parts; [[Objective Datum]] and [[Subjective Form]]. - The relationship established by prehension is asymmetrical. - The present occoasion prehends a past one and is partially constituted by it, but the past occasion is not affected by the present one. See: [[Causal Efficacy]]. **Mutual Prehension** Every organism is genuinely shaped by and responsive to the others. **Superject** - The superject of prehensions, means that it’s existence is brought about by its connections to the past. ## Sources: - [[@Alfred North Whitehead]] - Center for Process Studies
