Ma (in-between)
The Japanese concept of ma (間) assigns subjecthood to the tension between two entities. It suggests that the subject exists not in the human or the external world but in a third dimension - the dialogue between them. The in-between does not distinguish between humans, non-humans, nature, and man-made objects; rather, it represents a new nature of intelligence that emarges in the space between.
