Structure, Intelligibility, Inquiry: A Unified Metaphysical Basis for Science

Abstract

This paper belongs to the ARM systemic series, a unified metaphysical system that begins with agápēic relational actuality as its primitive and derives the modal architecture of reality from that starting point. Earlier papers established non‑coercive distinction, determinate relationality, triune structure, freedom, and the metaphysical basis of evil. This paper extends the system by showing that the core conditions of science—structure, intelligibility, inquiry, and lawfulness—follow necessarily from the same primitive. It provides a formal derivation, addresses major objections, and demonstrates how ARM renders the knowability of the world intelligible within a single, coherent metaphysical framework.
