On Self-Manifestation · Form Chapter 10 v1.0: General Form of Reality — Reality as Attribution Closure over Structure-Families

What is reality, if not a collection of external objects? This paper proposes a structural account in which reality is not an input set, nor a pre-given domain of objects, but the result of attribution-closure over a simultaneously holding structure-family. Extending the mechanism of mis-externalization from a single structure to a set, the framework shows that once a system must assign source attribution under conditions of indeterminacy, it is forced to produce a unified attribution over the entire current set of structures. Under source ambiguity, multiple generative paths remain indistinguishable. The system cannot determine a unique origin, yet must still maintain a coherent present. This forces the emergence of a global attribution mechanism, in which multiple source interpretations are compressed into a single label and stabilized over time. The result is not a local judgment but a global structure: reality. The central claim is: reality is not a set of objects, but the minimal stable attribution-closure over the current structure-family under source indeterminacy. Objects do not precede this process; they arise within it. Reality is therefore not discovered, but structurally formed as a closure condition required for maintaining a unified present. This framework provides a unifying account linking perception, attribution, and global coherence, with implications for cognitive science (perceptual organization and global integration), neuroscience (binding and unified experience), artificial intelligence (multi-modal integration and world-model formation), and theoretical physics (the structural basis of “reality” as a global constraint rather than an ontological primitive).
