Confession: I find it impossible to take bundle theories seriously. Just haven't seen (and can't think of) a way to make them plausible. But maybe I missed something?

I was today years old when I learned about heterarchical structure.
After 15 years or so of struggling to make sense of some dense material, I’m pleased with this effort to connect Huayan Buddhism to analytic metaphysics. I challenge the idea of “the” metaphysical structure of reality. Free read-only PDF at the link. #philsky rdcu.be/dpuqM
