Hyperdissolution: From Pre-Establishment Intervals to Operational Non-Redundancy

Hyperdissolution is a recursively applicable analytical method for cases in which the units presupposed by an inquiry—concepts, theories, observers, organisms, models, institutions, variables, or systems—must themselves become objects of analysis. Rather than treating such units as unreal or reducing them to a privileged underlying ontology, Hyperdissolution releases a unit together with the boundary, scale, temporal window, address, apparatus, coupling, retention conditions, resources, external memory, inferential interface, and comparison rules through which it became available. Alternative unitizations are then reconstructed under controlled configuration changes and tested by removal, replacement, and reintroduction. A distinction is retained only when it remains operationally non-redundant relative to a declared comparison class, configuration family, intervention family, consequence set, and temporal horizon. The method distinguishes dissolution from redundancy, compression, and re-ignition, while treating pre-establishment as a relational analytical status rather than a primordial ontological layer. It also rejects the inference from measurement failure to difference absence. Through comparisons with Simondonian individuation, analytic metaphysics, theoretical-equivalence research, mechanistic explanation, conceptual engineering, selective realism, structural realism, and Sellarsian and Brandomian accounts of conceptuality, the paper progressively restricts its own novelty claims. What remains is a transversal subtraction discipline: release the units of comparison themselves, vary their establishment conditions, reconstruct alternatives prospectively, test their downstream consequences, track loss and re-ignition, and recursively apply the same procedure to Hyperdissolution itself. The paper concludes by specifying an empirical program and explicit conditions under which Hyperdissolution should be compressed into existing methods or abandoned as independently redundant.
