The Entity That Forms Subjects (EFS): Ontological Status, Properties, and Place in the Hierarchy of Forms of Matter

Abstract

Correct short title in 8 languages: 1. Русский: Сущность, формирующая субъекты (СФС) 2. English: The Entity That Forms Subjects (EFS) 3. Français: L'Entité qui forme les sujets (EFS) 4. Español: La Entidad que forma sujetos (EFS) 5. Deutsch: Die Entität, die Subjekte bildet (EFS) 6. हिन्दी (Hindi): विषय-निर्माण करने वाली सत्ता (EFS) 7. 中文 (Chinese): 形成主体的实体(EFS) 8. العربية (Arabic): الكيان الذي يُشكِّل الذوات (EFS) --- Important note: The correct title is "The Entity That Forms Subjects" – not "Subjects Forming Entities". This is crucial: the entity is the source that generates subjects as projections, not the reverse. In previous works, it was established: information is projection, the subject is a necessary condition for information, and the subject itself is projection. These three theses lead to one question: if the subject is projection, what is its source? This article introduces The Entity That Forms Subjects (EFS) — a hypothetical fundamental phenomenon that is the source of projection generating the subject and information. EFS exists in a higher dimension (F4–F7) and is irreducible to the subject. The name replaces the earlier "Thinking and Feeling Entity" (TFE), removing anthropomorphic assumptions in favor of a functional definition based on strict logical derivation. Based on the ten universal properties of the subject (perspective, boundary, activity, temporal extension, integrity, meaning-making, self-reference, distinction, abstraction, multiplicity), the article derives well-founded assumptions about EFS characteristics. It distinguishes EFS from God, soul, and Apeiron, and proposes a falsifiable testing program with measurable parameters (I_AD, I_PA, K_G) and a 5-year roadmap. A separate section addresses typical criticism: EFS is not "empty philosophy" but a testable construct, logically derived and empirically verifiable. If predictions fail, the hypothesis will be abandoned. EFS completes the ontological vertical: EFS → projection (GHP, G) → subject → information. ---
