The Corpus
This page is the canonical download hub for the full Informational Ontology corpus. Titles link directly to PDFs.
Executive Summary
A short orientation and overview of the whole project.
Ontological Core
PDF downloadsA condensed on-ramp to the core regime structure and the minimal commitments of Informational Ontology.
The authoritative statement of Informational Ontology as a single, continuous structural account.
Structural Mechanics
PDF downloadsShows how systems continue when constraints underdetermine immediate transitions without invoking selection or choice.
Gives a structural account of identity persistence across change without substance or essence assumptions.
Develops how directional asymmetry arises from constraint structure rather than goals, optimization, or teleology.
Openness, Agency, Control
PDF downloadsExplains local underdetermination for embedded systems without requiring metaphysical indeterminism.
Accounts for agency structurally in terms of constrained openness rather than will, intention, or executive control.
Shows how salience shaping can structurally narrow available transitions and produce control without coercive metaphysics.
Normative-Adjacent Regimes (Still Structural)
PDF downloadsReconstructs responsibility and accountability as coordination practices grounded in constrained underdetermination.
Develops meaning structurally without representation, truth-conditions, or semantic primitives.
Explains purpose as downstream constraint stabilization without ends, goals, or final causes.
Accounts for ethics structurally as emergent coordination constraints among meaning-bearing systems.
Treats logical practice as a stabilized regime within meaning-bearing systems rather than an external foundation.
Applications / Stress Tests
PDF downloadsFrames alignment as structural compatibility between constraint regimes rather than value specification or optimization.
Models addiction as a structural monopoly over salience that collapses the practical action space.
Describes markets as coordination regimes that stabilize multi-agent constraints without centralized control.
Late Structural Clarification
PDF downloadsArgues that biological inheritance depends on stabilized structural constraint carriers prior to genetic coding.
Project Meta Paper
PDF downloadsReflects on the human–AI co-construction of the corpus as a methodological case study.
