• how can we locate the phenomenon of anticipation in human and non-human systems in the deep-time context of planetary development?
• are there key transition points in the Earth’s ability to produce entities and processes with different modes of anticipation?
• can we see anticipation as an ‘Earthly power’

theory 1 – memory, matter & anticipation
• Henri Bergson on duration
• recollective vs. habit memory
• memory, forgetting & anticipation
• noise (Serres) and the ‘shape of time’ (Kubler)

theory 2 – emergence & self-organisation
• dissipative structures (Prigogine)
• self-organising criticality (Bak)
• causal topologies (Deacon)

7 – and then?
• humans - consciousness? language? culture?
• technology and the technosphere?
• alternative anticipatory modes and ‘shapes of time’
