Whitehead, Concrescence, Discrescence

Whitehead's vision of experience as fundamentally Aesthetic is compromised by his thesis that every Process is essentially a Concrescence, i. e. a transition from Multiplicity to Unity. That thesis, therefore, denies the essentiality to experience of the inverse transition, i. e. from Unity to Multiplicity, which, can, accordingly, be termed 'Discrescence'. But, Creativity entails Discrescence--as he explicitly recognizes, the generation of novelty publicly increases the multiplicity of existent entities, and privately is experienced as a "principle of unrest", and as an "appetite towards a difference". So, insofar as Whitehead disregards the Discrescent dimension of Creativity, or subordinates it to eventual Conscrescent operations, he abstracts from Aesthetic experience one of its essential characteristics.
