Object invention was a critical event in decontextual evolution. It needs a lot of requirements, that have to be fullfilled (warmbloodedness, consciousness, highly developed hands or beaks...). We have true object creators in two lines, in apes and humans and simultaniously in the Corvidae family(songbirds).
By object creation the limitation on organs has been abolished. The distance of effects and the time perspective of effects are 'exploding', it's like a supernova, a very dynamic process. They are now limited by lightspeed (information) and mass-velocity (things).
But we have to keep in mind: Decontextualisation is a persistant feature in evolution from the very beginning. Warmbloodedness for instance could be conceived as an distance creating process. A temperature difference to the environment has been established and preserved by means of isolation (hair, feathers and fat).
