Do relationships between humans and anything else have a physical existence of it's own?

Do relationships between humans and anything else have a physical existence of it's own?


I think that whenever there is a elationship between people and others/objects, that something happens in the brain to solidify the liking/disliking of the other person/object I would think. But does the relationship ';itself'; have it's own separate physical entity or is that something we only imagine or percieve to be there?Do relationships between humans and anything else have a physical existence of it's own?
actual occasions





From Wiktionary


Etymology


Coined by Alfred North Whitehead.

















actual occasions (uncountable)





The final real things in the universe, that are ';experiential'; in nature rather than strictly material. The most basic thing or construct in the universe. Some Whitehead scholars would hold that trillions of Actual Occasions comprise one quark. Actual occasions make up everything, even empty space:





Quotations


';Actual entities--also termed Actual Occasions--are the final real things of which the world is made up. There is no going behind actual entities to find anything more real. ...The final facts are, all alike, actual entities; and these actual entities are drops of experience, complex and interdependent.'; Whitehead, A.N., Process and Reality: an essay in Cosmology, ed. by Griffin, D. and Sherburne, D., New York: The Free Press, 1978.Do relationships between humans and anything else have a physical existence of it's own?
I don't believe that a physical existence exist between the two. I believe that we perceive it.





Our likes/dislikes of a person are based on many variables. These variables stem from our mind and consist of our thoughts, feelings and intellect. They differ from person to person. I don't think these 'perceptions' are even solid since they can change as our values, perceptions and our image of the world changes.





To me, something that liquid can not possible take on a 'physical' existence.
What is the thing behind your idea,I think there must be a thing-in-itself,and we are now showing the true self of things-----every inner things have to show themselves from their appearance.


So the relationship between them is what they really willing to be as what happen among people to each other.that is their real relationship.
It's called ';Symbiosis';. What happens to one ,effects the other. Such as human beings and our planet with all this pollution in our air and water. We breathe that air and drink the water. Then we wonder how people end up giving birth to babies with birth defects and how we have to depend on chemicals to extend our life spans instead of doing it naturally.
Terrific question.





Philosophers have suggested that ';quarks';, supposedly the smallest components, are made from millions of such relationships.
