Synopsis

Why do we need the term “contiguity”? Why does the term “continuity” not suffice? Contiguity emphasizes the physical and spatial proximity and adjacency between and among objects, entities, or areas. While continuity focuses on the seamless and uninterrupted flow or connectivity over time, contiguity is concerned with the direct connections or relationships between things that are positioned next to each other in time and space. This dual nature allows it to play an important role in areas like learning and psychology, where temporal contiguity occurs when experiences or stimuli are presented close together in time, or related to previous learning, facilitating the formation of associative memories and enhancing learning processes.
Learning and living are contiguous experiences, with mind creating the subjective relationships that create the temporal and spatial relationships in our stories and memories. Indeed, our thoughts, sensations, and perceptions form the connected and cohesive experience of the contiguous mind, with our thoughts arising from our interpretations and reflections on those perceptions. Embrace the entangled dance of living and learning, and discover the profound connections that define our shared existence.
