Informational Ontology: A Structural Framework for Organizational Regimes

Released

A structural ontology that explains how increasingly complex organizational regimes arise from constraint, persistence, and reachability rather than from substance or teleology.

Function in corpus

Master ontology and authoritative source for the entire corpus. All later papers either clarify one regime transition, develop a downstream consequence, or apply the framework to dynamics, governance, and AI.

Details

The master document lays out the regime ladder Ī” → R → I → A → V → M → P and treats ontology as a conditional architecture of organization. Its central move is to replace object-first metaphysics with a disciplined account of what kinds of systems can arise, persist, and scale once certain structural conditions obtain. The paper is explicitly non-empirical and non-normative: it does not propose mechanisms, algorithms, or moral prescriptions, but a derivational framework. • Connected papers: Informational Ontology — Condensed Master; Systems, Boundaries, and Re-Identifiability; Constraint Ordering and Direction; Constraint-Type and Explanatory Levels
