This text examines the nature of human thought through the capacity to construct intentional models that remain distinct from the thinking process itself. The author highlights the profound historical influence of geometry and mathematics on the emergence of philosophy and the development of metaphysical thinking. Metaphysics is defined here as a mode of thought that overlooks the variability of growth and change (physis) to focus instead on an unchanging substratum. This process of objectification allowed for the extensive mathematization of science but often at the cost of stripping phenomena of their individuality, location, and temporality. Such models lack internal, autochthonous relationships to other entities and fail to account for unique instances. Consequently, the author argues for a transition toward new types of mental modeling capable of representing not just continuous processes, but actual events. By moving beyond traditional metaphysical frameworks, we can better address the dynamic complexities of reality that static, objectified models fail to capture.
