The Architecture of the Ente

This monograph develops a biological metaphysics centered on the ente—the living being that generates its own time, coherence, and consciousness. Against traditional approaches that begin with matter, laws, or computation, this work argues that metaphysics must begin with life itself. The ente is presented as a biological program running in matter, producing a species‑specific temporal rhythm that grounds identity, meaning, and subjective experience. Biological time replaces cosmic time as the true ordering of reality, and consciousness is reinterpreted as the ente’s self‑experience of its own temporal coherence. Through this framework, the monograph explains survival and death as structural phases of temporal execution, and uses the wolf‑child paradox to demonstrate the fragility and irreversibility of temporal identity. It then offers a biological reinterpretation of GCan, shifting execution from the universe to the organism. The final chapters unify matter, biological time, and the ente into a single metaphysical architecture and argue for a “biological turn” in philosophy: a shift from abstract, computational, or cosmic metaphysics toward an organismic understanding of reality grounded in life’s own generative structures.
