Overview: Logical Coherence of Absolute Existence Philosophy
-
Starting Point in an Unchanging Being The reasoning is based on the assumption that there exists a single, unchanging foundation — a being that does not come into existence, does not cease, and does not change. This assumption functions as the logical axis to which everything else is related.
-
The Faculty of Perception as a Necessary Aspect For anything to appear as a phenomenon, there must be an inherent faculty of perception. This faculty is not a relation but a fundamental property of the enduring being. Without this capacity, no phenomenon could be actualized at all.
If something is to be able to appear as a phenomenon, there must be an inherent faculty of perception. The faculty is not a relation but a fundamental inherent nature of existing being. Without this faculty, no phenomenon could be actualized at all.
-
The Occurrence of Phenomena as Actualization Phenomena are not independent forms of existence but arise through the actualization of the faculty of perception. They appear as mutable, dependent, and conditioned expressions of that which in itself is unchanging.
-
Essence as a Qualification of Being Essence describes the inherent content or nature of that which already is. It follows logically after the assumption of being itself, since something must be before it can be described through its properties.
-
Conditions as a Level-Bound Concept Conditions belong to the domain of phenomena. They apply to that which arises, changes, and disappears. The unchanging being is not conditioned and therefore lies outside all categories that presuppose dependency.
-
Necessity and Possibility Necessity follows from the assumption: if existence is unchanging and the faculty of perception is essential, then the emergence of phenomena is the only possible consequence. Possibility, by contrast, refers to variations within the forms of phenomena, not to the foundational condition for their occurrence.
-
The Universe as a Phenomenal Whole The Universe can be understood as the total actualization of the capacity to perceive. As a whole it appears organic, but the sense of wholeness is itself a phenomenon — an expression of the faculty of perception rather than an independent substance.
-
Ontological Chain of Consequence
- Being (unchanging existence)
- Essence (nature / capacity)
- Occurrence (that something appears)
- Phenomenon (that which appears)
This chain is logically ordered such that each step depends on the preceding one, but never the reverse.
-
Conceptual Coherence The concepts remain coherent if and only if they do not contradict the assumption of an unchanging foundation. Any concept that presupposes change or dependency applies solely to the level of phenomena and cannot be applied retroactively to the enduring being.
-
The Comprehension of the Whole The logical coherence lies in consistency: if one accepts the first premise — the unchanging enduring being — the rest follows as necessary implications. The whole then becomes a coherent structure in which existence, essence, capacity, and phenomena are logically integrated.
