Ontology of the Boundary: On the Conditions of Possibility of Law, Meaning, and Consciousness

This thesis explores the foundational elements of structured existence through an integrated framework of law, will, consciousness, and life. Law is examined as the organizing principle of reality, providing the structural framework within which existence unfolds. Will is introduced as the minimal enabling condition that allows conscious orientation and intentionality. Consciousness functions as the bridge between law and mind, facilitating awareness, interpretation, and reflection. Life, understood here as the vessel capable of hosting the minimal touch of will, manifests the potential for consciousness within diverse biological forms. The study emphasizes the inherent limits of human cognition, acknowledging that no single mind can encompass all knowledge or perspectives simultaneously. Apparent contradictions and paradoxes are interpreted as reflections of these cognitive boundaries rather than deficiencies in the structure of reality. By integrating philosophical reasoning with theoretical exploration, this work proposes a conceptual map that accounts for the interdependence of law, will, consciousness, and life, without claiming exhaustive comprehension. It aims to provide a framework for further inquiry into the conditions of possibility for structured existence, highlighting the iterative, progressive, and bounded nature of human understanding.
