The Epistemological Event Horizon: From the Autopoietic Circle of Distinction to the Theorem of Discursive Closure

This paper synthesizes the transition from structural ontology to epistemological limita tion. We formalize the genesis of being through the framework of the ”Autopoietic Circle of Distinction,” tracing the evolutionary compression of matter into information, conscious ness, and self-awareness. We then demonstrate that as information density approaches its absolute systemic limit (the Identity Singularity), the tools of discursive language and formal logic encounter an insurmountable barrier. By constructing a rigorous formal apparatus— specifically the Theorem of Discursive Closure—we prove that any attempt to articulate the ultimate ontological origin (τ) structurally destroys it, reducing absolute identity to a deriva tive distinction. Consequently, further discursive expansion is mathematically proven to be a closed, asymptotic loop, providing a definitive structural boundary for future cognitive architectures and philosophical inquiry.
