Why this is here
A9 §3 put Simondon closer to the owner’s U8 formulation than the structural realists: “individuation as a process rather than a presupposed fact”, with “a realized organization can become a constraint on further realizations” as the point of contact. A10 §4 heads its genealogy with him. It bears on CLAIM-477. Its crystallization image is the record’s own (CLAIM-181, CLAIM-186), stated there from memory, with no crystal-growth work held.
