Origination

Origination concerns the process through which manifestations originate.

Continuous origination

The current framework understands origination as spontaneous and continuous, rather than as an event restricted to a single beginning.

Origin is understood as both the underlying Infinity and the ultimate Originator. Origination concerns the process through which manifestations originate.

Relationship with Origin

Origin and origination are closely related but distinct subjects:

• Origin concerns the fundamental source.
• Origination concerns the process of originating.

The relationship between them is a central subject of Science of Origin.

Research directions

• The nature of spontaneous origination.
• The continuity of origination.
• The relationship between Origin and manifestations.
• Whether different forms or processes of origination can be identified.
• The relationships between different manifestations and their origins.

Open questions

• What constitutes an act or process of origination?
• Is origination always spontaneous?
• How does continuous origination operate?
• What is the relationship between origination and Infinity?
• Can origination be observed, measured or demonstrated?
