System entanglement° is co-bordism°°: structure equals relation. Since relation precedes distinction, structure is the manifestation of pre-existing relational continuity.
System self-entanglement is implicit: meaning arises as an inverse function of the impossibility of self-knowledge, just as some kind of value (as meaning, money) emerges from complex, relatively ambiguous constellations of relational indices, which accrue statistical momentum and gravitas at scale.

°° co-bordism is the continuity between boundaries expressed as a shared #manifold (aka, here, a “higher dimension”).
