Bohm called them moments, moments in which there is emergence from the implicate order to the explicate order. Moments of emergence, quanta moments.
Whitehead referred to them as 'actual occasions'.
These are moments when the formless becomes formed through information, 'active information' that allows quanta potential to be realized as Ontic Form.
That surprise from which consciousness makes meaning as an inner state forges in an outer state, a hidden state, based on the assumptions of its 'generative model'.
Only to be surprised but that it did not predict.
A surprise that leads us, according to Friston, to update an understanding, a 'Bayesian belief update' of an internal model, a Meaning Matrix, in a process of Active Inference.
