STAGE 2 — TRANSITION
Moving into the original habitat.
Living potential leaves its previous condition and encounters the relationship, habitat or boundary required for what comes next. The forms differ. The movement is the shared pattern.
EXPLORE THE FOUR PERSPECTIVESFOUR PERSPECTIVES
TRANSITION is not one biological mechanism. It is a shared stage pattern expressed differently through MICROBA, HUMAN, UNIVERSE and PLANT.
Entering a new storage environment
Nectar, bee contact and associated microorganisms move into the comb, where processing and storage create a different ecological condition.
VIEW PERSPECTIVE
Encounter, recognition and fusion
The sperm reaches the ovum and fertilisation establishes a new zygotic state from two specialised reproductive cells.
VIEW PERSPECTIVE
Daylight crosses a visible boundary
The sun reaches the horizon and direct daylight gives way to the red and orange transition of sunset and twilight.
VIEW PERSPECTIVE
Arrival in suitable habitat
Dispersal ends as the seed reaches and becomes established in a substrate where later rest or germination may become possible.
VIEW PERSPECTIVEWHAT TRANSITION MEANS
Movement alone is not continuation. The important change is that potential reaches a condition in which the next stage can become possible.
Transition begins when potential is no longer held only within the condition that formed or carried it.
The next possibility depends on reaching the relationship, habitat or temporal boundary relevant to that form of life.
Transition is not the endpoint. It positions potential so the next protected or resting stage can begin.
LIVING CONTINUATION
TRANSITION carries potential out of ORIGIN and toward DORMANCY. It is the passage between being formed and becoming established in the next condition.
Potential is formed or held.
Potential moves into the next condition.
Potential rests or develops in protected conditions.
Potential responds and begins to emerge.
Life lives, grows and contributes.
Suitable conditions renew continuation.
