The Unfelt Self: On the Ontological Status of Pre-Resonant Existence

This paper explores the philosophical status of existence prior to the manifestation of structured judgement, particularly focusing on the pre-resonant self. Utilizing the framework of the Judgemental Triad—Constructivity, Coherence, and Resonance—it analyzes the ontological and ethical implications of Affectivity and Receptivity, which precede judgement. The paper argues that pre-resonant existence is not meaningless but rather resides in a state of potentiality where the structural conditions of the Judgemental Triad have not yet been realized. It is argued that this framework offers a new interpretation of states such as the fetal stage, pre-conscious states, and cognitively undeveloped states, thereby opening new philosophical horizons in metaphysics, ethics, and the origin of consciousness.
