WHITEHEAD, ALFRED NORTH

Whitehead: each actual occasion prehends prior occasions, takes them up into itself, and adds a new datum to the cosmos. CoCA's CoCA Model meeting (§1.2.2) is whiteheadian by accident. The meeting prehends prior meetings; the prior meetings live on as data in the new event; the new event closes by adding a record. The institution is a society of occasions. Each occasion contributes. The record is the prehension made visible.
