Abstract

Decision-making is usually associated with free will, conscious choice and deliberate intervention. Successful outcomes are causally attributed to the spectacular actions of significant individual agents. Such an outlook is predicated upon a being ontology that elevates discrete entities over ?unowned? process complexes and silent transformations. From a becoming ontology however, decisions are instead construed as ongoing, mundane and multifarious insensible incisions into the flow of social reality. Favourable circumstances and desirable outcomes, therefore, arise not because of spectacular actions taken, but because of the cumulative effect of prior countless insensible insertions.
