Description[edit]
Agar functions as a contextual medium that enables growth, experimentation, and observation. It represents a stable foundation where living forms can develop in controlled conditions, making invisible processes visible. Agar highlights the relationship between environment and emergence, showing how the right substrate can reveal patterns, interactions, and behaviors. It becomes a space where variables can be isolated, tested, or nurtured. Agar also reflects the importance of supportive conditions in shaping development, demonstrating how systems depend on context to express their potential. As a contextual construct, agar illustrates how growth is not solely an internal process but a dialogue between organism and environment.
