Instant

Our consciousness perceives "things" (which ultimately consist of all the possible experiences we may have) as groups, collections, patterns, and periods. Instant depicts periods where incomprehensibly numerous factors come together to generate those collections, patterns, events, and ultimately the reality we interact with and experience.

These patterns, self-organizations, loops, and events emerge temporarily from chaotic, complex systems, creating "instants" that can take place across periods ranging from Planck seconds to eons, encapsulating all possible ways of being. From a cellular division to a turtle's lifetime, the birth of a solar system to a black hole's evaporation, all dissolve in the flow of time until nothing is left to define "time."

In a partial sense, the things we experience, and as a mirror of that, our own being as a temporary collection of particles composing a living creature that can itself be experienced by other beings, are all temporary states, constantly evolving into other things in time. As conscious beings, we witness those instances where "things" appear to happen and dissolve in the flow of time.
