Indeterminacy, however, ontological eschews the idea individually existing determinate entities, proposing instead phenomena-in-their-becoming radically open relating world. Karen Barad, feminist queer theorist, uses Niels Bohr’s quantum physics show atoms possess an inherent indeterminism lack identity in space time. Indeterminacy thus un/doing that unsettles very foundations being non-being. Furthermore, neither nor time are predetermined givens, but come into intra-actively through emergence phenomena.
