naturata

— that which has been natured —

this room holds the made things. the page you are reading. the building around the page. the bed in which you read. the body that holds the bed up off the floor. everything that is the case, considered as a finished case.

to most visitors, naturata is sufficient. there is enough to look at. one does not have to inquire after the maker; the made is here.

“natura naturata is nature as we find it — the lake, the kitchen, the cat — taken as completed objects. natura naturans is nature still doing the work of being.”

the difference is small and yet — once noticed — it is not possible to ignore. the labyrinth is built largely on it.
