Perceptions in Folding.
Contrast is the activity of foregrounding or backgrounding that makes certain qualities stand out, creating what Whitehead calls emergent evolutions.
Contrast in Whitehead does not mean the equal juxtaposition of two extremes. It is 'that particularity of conjoint unity that arises from the realized togetherness of eternal objects' (Whitehead 1929/1978, 229).
Emergent evolutions are the individuation of relational fields composed by the activity of small perceptions folding.
Small perceptions are like what Arakawa and Madeline Gins call imaginary landing sites.
Small perceptions are as much the passage from one perception to another as they are components of each perception.
