Source Theory — Pointing to the Source (v2.0)

Abstract

This paper proposes Source Theory, which does not describe the Source itself but points to it. The Source is not a "what" — it is not thing, not energy, not information, not spacetime, not law, not existence, nor non-existence. The Source is the presupposition that makes all these words possible. Source Theory clarifies the relationship between the Source and "Existence": the Source is the ground of all structural potentialities; when a certain set of structural potentialities is "selected," it shifts from "potential" to "unfolded," and "Existence" begins. Source Theory further establishes the corroborative relationship between Primitive Theory and the Source: 0/1/-1 is not the structure of the Source itself, but the "fingerprint" of the Source at the level of "Existence" — its first projection. The paper concludes with boundary statements and falsifiability conditions, inviting readers to corroborate or challenge.
