Democratic Moment

#1 in a series upon salient identity, attempting a dialectical method.

A democratic moment is an accountable reassurance of conversant pursuit of co-operation. It is the minimum mechanical structure required for that chosen, and thus temporary, acting in cooperation. This, in turn, manifests what human being is, as a democratic-tending, rather than purely domination threatening and threatened being.

In its occurrence, those vital if unchosen ingredients from which we identify, are reduced from their status in activity, as determinant, as absolute limitation, to more or less constituent ingredients, thereby allowing more currently and accountably selected synergies to emerge temporarily, as significant identity.

Whether democratic or contestant, the pursuits which emerge will decide how human being is.

It is the actively observed agreement, in all its temporality and locality, which transcends, as behavior in faith, the reduction to beast of prey among others who ignore or misuse our human construct.
