Popis: We face many things in the world. An issue could first surface, to be followed by a phenomenon, and vice versa. We may also see development of that issue or phenomenon. All of them constitute what I called (alternative) reality. How do we handle an issue, a phenomenon, or a development, individually or collectively? What should we do first? Dialectically, we can put issue at 5; phenomenon, 3; and development, 1, in my crab and frog motion model, which will be described, explained, and inferred later on. Non-dialectically, it is up in the air.
