Papers are invited on subjects including the dependencies of things both on people and on other things; transformations of things precipitated by both internal and external forces and how these changes may impinge on human experience; the variance of time scales of things particularly compared to human life, with some things enduring well beyond human experience, and others so transitory that we hardly notice them; the way thingness can be hidden as when things like window panes or screens can be invisible, because we look through and not at them; different ways of conceptualizing things from Entanglement to ANT to SCOT; things in the formation and development of the human mind.
