RT Article T1 Foundational Principles for an Organically Constituted World JF Theology and science VO 21 IS 3 SP 457 OP 470 A1 Bracken, Joseph A. 1930-2024 LA English YR 2023 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1854429922 AB Alfred North Whitehead years ago proposed an organismic approach to physical reality in which the constituent parts of physical entities co-constitute the governing structure of the entity even as the structure constrains the ongoing activity of the constituent parts. In this article, the author proposes that such an organismic approach to reality would be strengthened if one employs a systems-oriented methodology to a Trinitarian understanding of the God-world relationship. The structure of the divine life-system would influence the independent mode of operation of the cosmic process and the mode of operation of the cosmic process would affect the divine persons.
