Reality Before Preference
Can you see what has happened before deciding what you think of it?
The learning movement of this phase is Observing: the reality before what I wanted. Physics begins not with consolation but with acknowledging what has actually come to be within the order of nature. Acceptance is mature only when the facts have been seen.
Core ability: Describe an event factually, before preference, protest, or verdict.
