From classical mechanics to popular physics, the universe is often imagined as a machine: deterministic, clockwork, and separable. This metaphor has deep consequences. It imposes linear causality, separability, and an illusory autonomy of objects — concepts at odds with quantum entanglement, nonlocality, and relational emergence. The cosmos is not a machine, but a network of interdependent actualisations. Every event unfolds in relation to potential elsewhere; reality is process, not mechanism, and our metaphors must reflect that.
