Ontological Core

PDF downloads
Paper 1

A condensed on-ramp to the core regime structure and the minimal commitments of Informational Ontology.

Paper 2

The authoritative statement of Informational Ontology as a single, continuous structural account.

Structural Mechanics

PDF downloads
Paper 3

Shows how systems continue when constraints underdetermine immediate transitions without invoking selection or choice.

Paper 4

Gives a structural account of identity persistence across change without substance or essence assumptions.

Paper 5

Develops how directional asymmetry arises from constraint structure rather than goals, optimization, or teleology.

Openness, Agency, Control

PDF downloads
Paper 6

Explains local underdetermination for embedded systems without requiring metaphysical indeterminism.

Paper 7

Accounts for agency structurally in terms of constrained openness rather than will, intention, or executive control.

Paper 8

Shows how salience shaping can structurally narrow available transitions and produce control without coercive metaphysics.

Normative-Adjacent Regimes (Still Structural)

PDF downloads
Paper 9

Reconstructs responsibility and accountability as coordination practices grounded in constrained underdetermination.

Paper 10

Develops meaning structurally without representation, truth-conditions, or semantic primitives.

Paper 11

Explains purpose as downstream constraint stabilization without ends, goals, or final causes.

Paper 12

Accounts for ethics structurally as emergent coordination constraints among meaning-bearing systems.

Paper 13

Treats logical practice as a stabilized regime within meaning-bearing systems rather than an external foundation.

Applications / Stress Tests

PDF downloads
Paper 14

Frames alignment as structural compatibility between constraint regimes rather than value specification or optimization.

Paper 15

Models addiction as a structural monopoly over salience that collapses the practical action space.

Paper 16

Describes markets as coordination regimes that stabilize multi-agent constraints without centralized control.

Late Structural Clarification

PDF downloads
Paper 17

Argues that biological inheritance depends on stabilized structural constraint carriers prior to genetic coding.

Project Meta Paper

PDF downloads
Paper 18

Reflects on the human–AI co-construction of the corpus as a methodological case study.
