title: The internalist stance. A linguistic practice enclosing dynamics
abstract: Natural dynamics, as manifested in evolutionary processes, refer to material bodies in movement in the present progressive mode. Any interacting material body in the present progressive mode must be sentient to others because there can be no global agency coordinating it to others in a globally synchronous manner. The internalist perspective, or the worm's eye view, referring primarily to the present progressive mode, renders local material bodies, large or small, subject to an inevitable inconsistency among local representations of neighborhood events registered in the local present perfect tense. Any sentient material body experiencing this inconsistency subsequently transforms itself into an inconsistency-free representation. The descriptive scheme unique to the internalist stance is internal and dynamic in the sense that it constantly strives to update constituent local representations, attempting to eliminate any inconsistencies residing within antecedent local representations. Compared to external descriptions of invariable universals grounded upon the Cartesian epistemic split, which are complementary to dynamics, internal description serves as a linguistic means of embodying natural dynamics even without recourse to the notion called forces. This makes our language powerful enough to enclose natural dynamics of material bodies in the empirical domain.
