ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Process and Reality

Process and reality is a way of thinking that helps us to understand the world around us. It breaks things down into smaller parts so we can better understand them. We use processes to describe what we see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This is like breaking down a cake into its ingredients. A reality is the bigger picture - what happens when all the parts come together, like baking and decorating the cake. This helps us to understand how things work and why they happen.
