Articles
Presence Before Identity: Attribution, Co-Presence, and the Error of Isolated Being
A foundational article arguing that presence is prior to isolated identity and that intelligibility begins not from self-contained being, but from attribution and co-presence.
From First Mover to Threshold of Attribution: Regress, Priority, and Metaphysical Explanation
A major metaphysical study that reinterprets regress and priority by shifting the problem away from a first ontological entity toward the threshold at which attribution becomes possible.
From Presence to Attribution: Continuity, Differentiation, and the Justification of Being in MARP
A clarificatory article within MARP tracing the movement from presence and continuity to attribution, differentiation, and justified intelligibility.
Dual Finitude in MARP: Reality, Attribution, and the Limits of Continuity
An article developing the distinction between real finitude and attributive finitude in MARP, and showing how this distinction clarifies attribution, complete induction, referential continuity, and recurrent behavioral and affective attachment.
From the Question of Existence to the Conditions of Determination: Reconstructing “Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?” in MARP
A reconstruction of the classical question of existence that relocates the issue from the opposition between being and nothingness to the prior conditions of determination and intelligibility.

Causality Between Metaphysical Necessity and the Operational Economy of Linkage
An article developing a MARP-based account of causality as disciplined operational linkage rather than hidden metaphysical necessity or mere conjunction.
Why Am I Here? Meaning, Presence, and the Limits of Classical Answers
An essay that reopens the question of human meaning by treating it not as a request for a ready-made purpose, but as a question about the structure of presence itself.
Struggle for Survival as Ontological Fixation: A MARP Account of Differentiation, Truth, and Manifested Existence
A structural reconsideration of “struggle for survival” arguing that the familiar picture presupposes already formed beings and misses the prior metaphysical problem of manifested existence.
When Value Becomes Burden: Personality, Privacy, and Destructive Impulse in MARP
A structural application within MARP examining how what preserves the self may, under sufficient pressure, become burdensome to it.
Addiction as Directed Self-Destruction: Partial Collapse, Internal Determination, and the Difference from Suicide
An article distinguishing addiction from suicide by analyzing it as a directed form of self-destruction that remains structurally tied to the larger self that bears it.
