This article examines the concept of “state” as the third component of the Architecture of the Moment within the Metalogy of the Moment. The article continues a cycle of works devoted to the sequential development of the eight components of passage through the moment: “metamoment,” “moment,” “state,” “role,” “vector,” “decision,” “action,” and “event.” If the previous articles examined the “metamoment” as a space before form and the “moment” as the recognized territory of what is occurring, the present article focuses on the transitional zone that arises after the entry of the “moment” into human perception and before the formation of “role.” In the Metalogy of the Moment, “state” is defined not as an everyday mood, not as a separate emotion, and not as a completed inner position, but as a transitional zone between “moment” and “role.” In this zone, the primary wave of the “moment” covers the human being, passes through perception, and creates an impulse toward a further mode of presence. “State” is not yet “role,” but it already mirrors the quality of perception: acceptance, non-acceptance, resistance, fear, tension, clarity, or discernment. “Role,” which will be the subject of the next article in the cycle, may be understood as a further reflection of the quality that began to take shape in “state.” For philosophical comparison, the article turns to Spinoza’s concept of affect. In Spinoza’s philosophy, affects are connected with the change in a human being’s capacity to act, with transitions of inner power, and with the way a person is affected by external and internal causes. The present article does not derive the Metalogy of the Moment from Spinoza’s philosophy, but enters into a comparative dialogue with it. Through this comparison, the author’s understanding of “state” is developed as a transitional zone in which the primary wave of the “moment” not only affects the human being, but also begins to prepare an impulse toward a future mode of presene.
