Concept notes for the key ideas and arguments within the derivation of relationality.
The derivation’s organizing principles
- Structure Triad — the three-part pattern that recurs at every step: dynamic moment, relational moment, formal moment
- Induction — how each step’s output induces the next: the specific dependency chain between terms
- Reflexive Self-Constitution — the overarching move: a structure that builds itself through its own activity
- The Three Scales — closure at unit, field, and grand levels, each recapitulating the same logic
- Relational Ontology — the philosophical claim: relations are ontologically prior to entities
Derivation reference
- The Derivation Chain — step-by-step reference: what each step produces and what remains undetermined
- The Derivation Play-by-Play — compact narrative of the derivation using canonical terms
Recurring structures
- Closure — self-maintenance at every scale
- Residuation — the adjunction pattern governing complementary operations at logic, dynamics, and physics levels
