“human beings are ‘walking wave functions’. This idea of a ubiquitous coherence, a shared consciousness, is common in many Asian, Indigenous, and African worldviews, though colonial spacetimes have often boxed these off in the realm of the ‘spiritual’, in contradistinction to the scientific.” (Noxolo 7)

“Understanding this co-active entanglement of person and landscape as indeterminacy, as infinitely open processes of co-materialization, mirroring the quantum agency of the determinative cut, encourages us to keep meaning and identity similarly open, whilst also recognizing the real harms that our own material agency makes possible. Life, and personhood, considered in this way, is an ‘infinite rehearsal’ (Harris, 1987), or an always unfinished conversation across difference (Hall, 1995; Noxolo, 2016).” (Noxolo 6).
