We need to move beyond representationalism to a performative understanding of knowledge.

The world is not a collection of individual entities, but a dynamic, interconnected whole.

Agency is not an attribute of subjects, but a distributed phenomenon of intra-acting components.

The future is not predetermined, but is continually being made in the present.

We are not simply observing the world, but are part of its ongoing materialization.

The very act of observation is an intra-action that shapes what is observed.

There is no 'outside' to the world; we are always already inside its intra-actions.

Meaning is not something we bring to the world, but something that is enacted in our intra-actions with it.

The world is not a static backdrop for human activity, but an active participant in its own becoming.

Responsibility is not about assigning blame, but about responding to the calls of the world.

The notion of 'thing' itself is a product of specific cuts and intra-actions.

We need to cultivate an ethics of entanglement.

The world is not simply given, but is always in the making.

Knowledge is not about correspondence, but about intra-action.

The very fabric of reality is a dynamic, intra-active process.

We are not separate from the world, but are part of its ongoing material-discursive becoming.

The world is not a collection of static objects, but a dynamic play of forces.

To be human is to be entangled.

The question is not what things are, but what they do.

We need to attend to the specific material-discursive practices through which the world is enacted.
