THE LIMINAL FIELD: To Grasp, To Scan, To Hold

ABSTRACT English A conceptual analysis of the three fundamental functions arising from magnetism — to grasp, to scan, to hold — and their role in defining the quality of any state of being. The text distinguishes states of being as magnetic aggregations from consciousness, which is neutral, without its own field, and capable only of resonance. Identification is described as a fall caused by magnetic attraction without aggregation. Consciousness is presented as a propagation chamber whose natural function is attention without participation. Italiano Analisi concettuale delle tre funzioni fondamentali derivanti dal magnetismo — cogliere, scrutare, trattenere — e del loro ruolo nel definire la qualità di ogni stato d’essere. Il testo distingue gli stati d’essere come aggregazioni magnetiche dalla coscienza, che è neutra, priva di un proprio campo e capace solo di risonanza. L’immedesimazione è descritta come caduta dovuta a un’attrazione magnetica senza aggregazione. La coscienza è presentata come cassa di propagazione la cui funzione naturale è l’attenzione senza partecipazione. OPENAIRE DESCRIPTION English This work examines the structural relationship between magnetism, states of being, and consciousness. Magnetism is described as the foundational principle enabling aggregation and manifestation. The functions of grasping, scanning, and holding define the operational quality of states of being. Consciousness is identified as a unique, neutral presence lacking its own field and capable only of resonance, with identification occurring through magnetic attraction. The study contributes to conceptual models of consciousness, resonance, and the phenomenology of attention.
