Syntactic Generation: Primitive Distinctions

Abstract

Traditional models of physical reality rely on the assumption of foundational substances. These base materials are typically conceptualized as particles, fields, or continuous spatial manifolds. Such approaches inevitably generate persistent philosophical dualisms and questions regarding ultimate origins. A more rigorous starting point avoids positing any underlying material substrate entirely. This alternative perspective relies exclusively on the basic act of making a distinction. Constructing a universe from boundaries rather than objects resolves many historical paradoxes. The primary axiom of this system is therefore an operation rather than a physical entity.
