Screen Degradation: Behavior of the Projection Interface in the Limit of High Values of G – Level of Detail

Abstract

Within the framework of the projection model and the "Seven Forms of Matter" (7FM) model, the screen is defined as the interface onto which information from a more fundamental reality is projected. At levels F1–F3, the screen performs all three main functions: reflection (holographic encoding), display (information transmission), and construction (active formation of reality). At level F6 (Apeiron), the screen disappears completely. This article is devoted to a systematic analysis of the behavior of the screen as G (the level of detail)—a parameter that determines the choice of the scale of description of the system—increases. The value of investigating this phenomenon for completing the ontological picture of projective reality is substantiated. The concept of "degree of screenness" Ψ as a function of G, describing the preservation of screen properties, is introduced. Four possible degradation scenarios are proposed: linear, exponential, power-law, and threshold (quantum transition). Physical analogies are analyzed: the black hole event horizon, phase transitions, renormalization in quantum field theory, and quantum evaporation of black holes. A methodology for testing hypotheses is proposed, based on the principle of the echolot of cognition—a cyclic procedure of "model → markers → verification → refinement." The article shows that the screen is not a universal attribute of being but represents a property of specific forms of matter (F1–F5). Its disappearance at the level of Apeiron is a logical consequence of the ontological model. Understanding screen degradation opens the way to the mathematical formalization of projection operators and empirical verification through traces in quantum and cosmological data. The connection of screen degradation with entropy, information, and SFS—the Entity Forming Subjects—is examined.
