From Water to the Zero-Point: A Structural Inquiry into Physical Combinations, Dissolution of Components, and Non-Dual Ontology

Abstract

This paper analyzes the illusion of independent agency using water as a model. The water cycle shows spontaneous transformation without a separate doer. Chemically, H2O → 2H + O shows that 'water' is Nama-Rupa, not an independent absolute. Extending to human existence (gross form, subtle mind, manifest behavior), the paper shows the 'I' is a functional map, not a separate owner. Tracing matter from molecule to quantum field reveals the 0-Element - not voidness but unmanifest potential. The ego is explained as a whirlpool: unexamined = illusion and suffering, examined = transparent tool for liberation. Vedanta 2.0 bridges modern physics and non-dual ontology.
