Objects in the Ontology of EFOS: Types, Properties, and Place in the Hierarchy of Forms of Matter

Abstract

This article provides a systematic description of objects within the ontology of EFO (Entity Forming Objects) in the context of EFOS (Entity That Forming Objects and Subjects). The work is the logical completion of the ontological triad: EFO → EFOS → Subjects → Objects. The object is defined as a passive projection of EFO (or EFOS), possessing six universal properties: boundary, localization, measurability, stability, passivity, and multiplicity of forms. A key thesis is that objects are carriers of information (configurations) but do not create information – information arises only at the level of subjects as the distinction of important and unimportant. This fundamentally distinguishes the model from informational physicalism (Wheeler's "It from Bit"), which postulates information as fundamental. A typology of objects is proposed: physical objects, geometric structures, quantum objects, biological bodies, social objects, and hypothetical objects. The place of objects in the 7FM hierarchy is defined: at F1 objects are fundamental; at F2 they persist as biological bodies; at F3 as social objects; at F4–F7 as hypothetical objects of higher forms. Categories of non-objects (non-object-subjects and absolute non-objects) are introduced, showing that the ontological picture is more complex than the simple "objects vs subjects" distinction. A testable program is proposed with markers for objects (I_PA, K_G) and numerical thresholds. A systematic comparison is made with alternative approaches: materialism, realism, instrumentalism, projective ontology (Axelkrans), phenomenology, and informational physicalism. The relationship of EFO to EFOS remains an open question – they may be two aspects of a single entity or separate sources. The model has practical significance for physics, cosmology, and ontology, offering new frameworks for understanding the nature of physical reality and its projective origin. Keywords: object, projection, EFO, EFOS, subject, information, non-objects, 7FM, I_PA, K_G.
