From Pure Non-Being to Self-Reference: A Minimalist Transcendental Ontology (BAT)

This paper is an introduction to the strictly minimalist ontology that derives from one primordial act: the distinguishing pure non-being (0) and the first admissible consistency - being (1). Once the difference is noticed - without presupposing space, time, laws, or an external observer – it in the proposed order generates curiosity, complexification, identity, mortality-anxiety (fear), binding (love or connection), and intelligence in the exact order. The model tries to explain existence without relying on abstract ideals (Plato) or physical matter, but it still fits well with ideas from Hegel, Heidegger, and modern set theory (like Badiou’s work).
