Editing Process philosophy (section)

==== Causation and concrescence of a process ====
''Concrescence'' is a term coined by Whitehead for the process of a new occasion manifesting as "fully actual"—i.e., becoming ''concrete''—and, having completed this process of actualization (achieving ''satisfaction'', in his terms), in turn becoming an objective datum for successor occasions.<ref name="Audi (ed.)"/> The concretion process can be regarded as a process of ''subjectification.''<ref name="Cobb">John B.

''Datum'' is a term coined by Whitehead to show the different variants of information possessed by actual entity. In process philosophy, each datum is obtained through the events of concrescence.<ref name="Audi (ed.)"/><ref name="Cobb"/>
