These statements outline the four fundamental facets of existence.
- Form
- Composition
- Context
- Interaction
and these structural relations
- Self
- Parent
- Child
- Sibling

- I am an organism (a human)
- I am part of an organism (society)
- I am composed of Organisms (cells)
- there are other Organisms like me (other humans)
when it is so clear that these relations are not arbitrary, why have they not been elegantly formalised in the core of a programming language? Maybe they have been..
Many systems have a notion of a global tree object that everything in existance may be somehow referenced from but this is only one way that links form, there is no difference in being referenced by our structural parent and some other thing. there is no generic way to create relationships between the entites present in a system.
In jungle these relationships are built in to the core abstractions of the language,
The nature of being is captured in jungle with the notion of a basis, every type of construct is derived from a core type that holds the implementation and argumentation regarding the nature of the construct. Perhaps Constructs can be called Organs, they are the not always such
Foundationally most classes in Jungle are inherited from a base class that captures the idea of being a component, these are then positionable as a
