ECOSONANCE (ES)

1)ES as a Phenomenonis ubiquitous, emotional/mental/physical/spiritual…, (non)human and

(a)biotic relationality(or: co-ordinated “vibration”) that makes up Existence.

Etymological derivation:

eco-son-ance = eco(logy) [< Gk oiko(s) “house”] + sound (as proxy for vibration) [Lat son “sound”] + -ance =>

“ecological attunement” of self, other, (non)human, (a)biotic, and ultimately the micro- and macro- multiverse

NB!Ecology = cross-section of EvolutionEvolution = Ecology in historical perspective =>Eco/Evo-attunement

2) ES as a Philosophy studies conscious, purposefulH (human [agency] as one variable of ES [in]-

Felicity), along with other modes of H, in its/their interaction with non-H variables. ES Philo-

3)ES as Practice actualizes ES Philosophy as humanity’s 3a)lived ethics, and 3b)generalized

(self-)education.At its core ishuman be/com/ingfor felicitous ES, for (non)humans alike.

See illustration:physiological-linguistic actualizing of preferred possible realities (PPRs)

Note: The triadic ES thesis can be paraphrased or translated in any natural or formal language as long as the conceivableeffects/uses (a.k.a., pragmatic meaning) of the expressions used are commensurate with those above.
