actual occasions

Actual occasions are the fundamental units of reality in Whitehead's philosophy, representing discrete moments of experience or becoming. Each occasion is an integrated event where various influences—past experiences, environmental factors, and internal responses—come together to produce a unique, momentary existence. Think of them as the building blocks of reality, constantly arising and passing away, shaping the ongoing process of existence. They are interconnected, with each occasion both influenced by and contributing to the future, creating a dynamic web of ongoing, interconnected moments that constitute the fabric of reality.
