Yes, my never-completed dissertation was on Heidegger. Is it that obvious? :)

By "nature" I mean "things we experience." Experience IS ordered, at the very bare minimum in that it takes place in space and in a temporal sequence (those Kant things), but beyond that there is a lot of flexibility. (And how even apace and time are understood is going to depend on the cultural viewpoint/personal understanding/even mood of the person doing the experiencing.)
