Introduction

Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947), mathematician andprocess philosopher, rejected static substance metaphysics and proposed a universe of becoming, not being. In *Process and Reality*, Whitehead describes reality as a web of dynamic 'actual occasions'—events that prehend, transform, and generate new reality through experience and relation.
Fracturism, by contrast, is a post-collapse, existential philosophy grounded in systemic entropy, narrative authorship, and survival through myth-making. Itshares Whitehead’s rejection of substance metaphysics and embraces impermanence, but diverges sharply in tone, teleology, and metaphysical optimism.
