Selected Writings
Presence Before Identity
Attribution, Co-Presence, and the Error of Isolated Being
A metaphysical essay arguing that presence is prior to isolated identity, that identity is a derived stabilization within attribution, and that truth must be sought within the prior field of co-presence rather than outside it.
From Presence to Attribution
Continuity, Differentiation, and the Justification of Being in MARP
A theoretical clarification within MARP tracing a single argumentative sequence from the impossibility of ontological nothingness to a revised account of objecthood, attribution, and truth.
Presence, Continuity, and Attribution
Continuity, Reference Points, Differentiation, and the Threshold of Attribution in MARP
A structural extension of MARP clarifying how attribution becomes possible through continuity of presence, operational reference points, differentiation, and the threshold prior to the collapse of attribution.
Dual Finitude in MARP
Reality, Attribution, and the Limits of Continuity
A philosophical 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.
Why Knowledge Cannot Be Placeless
Absolute Neutrality and the Conditions of Knowledge
A foundational MARP essay arguing that knowledge cannot arise from no standpoint, and that absolute neutrality is not a higher epistemic ideal, but a denial of the conditions under which knowledge becomes possible.
From First Mover to Threshold of Attribution
Regress, Priority, and Metaphysical Explanation
A theoretical essay on metaphysical regress, explanatory termination, and why the stopping point of explanation need not be a first entity, but may instead be a threshold below which attribution itself collapses.
Causality Between Metaphysical Necessity and the Operational Economy of Linkage
A MARP Account of Causal Order and Explanatory Economy
An article developing a MARP-based account of causality, arguing that causal order is best understood neither as hidden metaphysical necessity nor as mere conjunction, but as a disciplined and revisable operational linkage grounded in identity, passage, and explanatory economy.
Struggle for Survival as Ontological Fixation
Differentiation, Truth, and Manifested Existence
A structural reconsideration of the familiar notion of “struggle for survival,” arguing that it presupposes already formed beings and overlooks the prior metaphysical problem of manifested existence within the broader MARP framework.
Why Am I Here? Meaning, Presence, and the Limits of Classical Answers
Meaning, Presence, and the Structure of the Question
An essay that reopens the question of human meaning by treating it not as a request for a ready-made purpose, but as a deeper question concerning the structure of presence itself and the limits of inherited explanatory answers.
