I am retiring the term "Awareness". It seems to lead to confusion with subjectivity expanded to be universally inclusive. Instead, for now, my best term would be "Interaction without Relatedness". (Relatedness is the sense that there is an "I" that relates to "the World.") In Interaction without Relatedness there is no sense of a fixed "I" acting on "the world". There is interaction, which does have an effect of giving rise to ever-varying sensation. "I" and "The World" can be useful pointers to aspects of the total pattern of interaction, even absent being fundamental structures. But their utility is transient and arises against a background default of Interaction without Relatedness that does not feature this distinction. This can be very mundane: Body in Shower interaction Typing on Keyboard interaction Talking to Wife interaction These are "just happening". They don't have to do with "me", although "me" is a pattern within the interaction that could be an aspect that is useful to point out.
