Something different is ultimately an experiential threshold, a kind of epistemological space that exists beyond the domains of settled knowledge and established practices. It is characterized by an openness to exploring the unknown, a willingness to loosen the grip of habituated frames and venture into places where there is an unfamiliarity, even outlandishness, to our ways of knowing and being. In that place lies the radical potentiality of the imagination, a space where the diverse scales and multiple forms of knowing might cohere around an evolving and fluid understanding of the world.
