This text explores a profound philosophical definition of growth, distinguishing it from mere quantitative accumulation or the addition of parts. The author posits that authentic growth requires the capacity for a "growing together" of diverse elements and temporal phases into a cohesive unified whole. Every being is essentially extended through time and cannot be reduced to a simple series of disconnected momentary "nows." Instead, growth signifies the inherent interconnectedness of all temporal phases of a being, which remain present in every moment of its existence, even when they are not "actual" in terms of being a source or target of action. The status of "actuality" belongs only to the phase that assumes an objective, external form at a given time. Crucially, the author argues that growth is not primarily a matter of external expansion; the objective exterior is merely a secondary aspect of a more fundamental internal event. True growth is thus understood as the unfolding of an entire being, where the unity of all phases constitutes its essence.
