Novelty is real. Cause-effect relationships come into existence
that cannot be attributed to repetition of the relationships that
came before them. This idea is relevant to everything from
historical sciences, philosophy, religion, to our own subjective
experience. But why, in the most general possible sense, do new
things happen? It is argued here that novelty results from a kind
of "symbiosis" between systems that function in similar ways, but
are made from different stuff. Similarly, novelty within
consciousness derives from an interactive overlap between logical
thought that is representable in language, and subjective thought
that is not. These ideas are developed through a consideration of a
conceptual history of the new, a logical formalization of how
novelty occurs, a discussion of the relevance of novelty to
scientific questions surrounding Earth, life and consciousness, and
an integrative reading of the respective philosophies of Ludwig
Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger.
