A Covariant, Completely Positive Channel from an Exact Sp(3) Relational Construction, Trace-Preserving and Action-Determined Under an Explicit Convention Premise

We ask whether a construction’s invariances can be derived from the defined structure of a relational object rather than imposed on it, and whether the physical action such an object induces is determined within the stated convention rather than chosen among admissible placements...

Relation Before Relata: A Relational-Primitivist Ontology of Individuation, Perspective, and Presence

A persistent assumption holds that things exist first and relations obtain between them. This paper develops the alternative — relational primitivism — on which relational organization is prior to the entities within it, and a thing is a pattern in a relational structure stable e...
