The Cathedral of Becoming: (Companion to KUT Version 3.0)
Abstract
Description: The Cathedral of Becoming is a philosophical and metaphysical treatise that presents an allegorical framework for understanding reality through the lens of process ontology and computational metaphysics. Serving as a conceptual companion to the author's broader theoretical cosmology, the text challenges static models of the universe (such as the block universe) by asserting the primacy of dynamic "Becoming" over static "Being." Through a synthesis of process philosophy, information theory, and neuro-ontology, the work outlines a model where space is viewed as the accumulated record ("Ash") of past events, time is conceptualized as a three-phase thermodynamic metabolism ("Ternary Time"), and consciousness is identified as the active, universal phase-boundary of the present moment. The treatise concludes by examining the ethical and existential implications of human agency, framing conscious observers as active, participatory contributors to the evolving structure of reality. Keywords: Metaphysics, process ontology, philosophy of mind, computational metaphysics, digital ontology, Ternary Time, discrete spacetime, consciousness, philosophy of physics, information theory, ethics, existential philosophy, procedural ontology, natural philosophy, cosmology.
