We are not outside observers of the world. We are entangled in its intra-activity.

To be entangled is not simply to be intertwined with another, as in the joining of separate entities, but to lack an independent, self-contained existence.

Agential realism is a posthumanist performative account of technoscientific practices.

Matter and meaning are not separate elements that come together; rather, they are co-constitutive.

Knowing is not a matter of acquiring information or forming beliefs about a pregiven world, but rather a direct material engagement with the world.

The world is a dynamic process of intra-activity.

Ethics is not an external set of rules, but an integral part of the intra-active becoming of the world.

We need to rethink the very nature of causality, agency, and responsibility.

The past is never a settled matter.

Justice is not a state of affairs but a doing, a continual intra-active becoming.

The 'I' is not a pregiven entity but an ongoing material-discursive production.

Boundaries are not inherent properties of things but are enacted through specific intra-actions.

Scientific practices are not merely about representing the world, but about making and remaking it.

We are responsible for the cuts we make, for the boundaries we enact, and for the possibilities we foreclose.

The world is not composed of things, but of intra-actions.

Disentanglement is not a given, but an ongoing, iterative process.

The past, present, and future are not distinct, but are entangled in complex ways.

Ethics is not a matter of individual choice, but of our entangled responsibilities.

Reality is not something that exists independently of our practices, but is enacted through them.

The very notion of 'nature' and 'culture' are themselves products of specific intra-actions.
