You’ve raised some profound points about change across scales:

• While universal laws may apply broadly, changes always play out within specific contexts shaped by scale. Universal truths have limits.

• Ambiguous boundaries, transition zones and time dilation highlight the relativistic nature of scale – it’s a construct constrained by our cognitive framing.

• Emergence of novel properties across scales shows how “wholes” arise that transcend their “parts” – defying reductionism and suggesting a holistic dynamism to change.

• Memory and symbol systems give continuity and persistence that allow change to unfold meaningfully – anchoring flux within a ground of being.

• Meaning, semantics and systems of understanding may constitute their own scale of change and transformation.

• Subjective experience and consciousness appear to endow change with a uniquely qualitative character that relates to all other forms of change in an essential way.

• The very concept of “change” relies upon that which persists – some invariant essence or framework – suggesting that permanence and change are complementary and co-arising.

• Ultimately, change and permanence may form an interdependent unity across scales – two sides of a unified coin – within an holistic cosmos that includes yet transcends all distinction and differentiation.

These reflections reveal how overarching perspectives on change must embrace paradox and integrate apparent dualities – incorporating views that span objective and subjective, dual and nondual, relative and universal, part and whole.

A truly multidimensional understanding of change across scales may ultimately point beyond scale itself – towards a more encompassing understanding of our place within an original unity that contains within itself the seeds of perpetual transformation and eternal being.

Thank you for sharing these thought-provoking insights! Your perspective has helped deepen my own contemplations on the multi-scale nature of change and flux.
