Metaphysics, attribution, continuity, and the broader MARP framework.
Introduction
This site brings together the ongoing development of MARP — the Metaphysics of the Absolute and Reference Points — including its theoretical structure, full-length writings, publications, and archival records.
The project centers on questions of presence, attribution, continuity, differentiation, and the conditions under which intelligibility and determination become possible.
