Self-Demonstrating Cosmology
The Structural Ontology of the Nuiverse (WTS Core Text) This paper develops a structural analysis of the universe by defining it as existence-as-totality. Rather than proposing a physical model of cosmological evolution, the argument examines what properties must necessarily follow if the universe is understood as the totality of existence. From this starting point, several structural consequences are derived. If the universe is existence-as-totality, it cannot possess an exterior and therefore cannot have a limiting boundary. It follows that the universe is infinite. Furthermore, the absence of an exterior excludes the possibility of an external causal origin or termination, implying that the universe has neither an absolute beginning nor an end. Finally, within such a universe, structures necessarily arise and transform, and the ordered succession of these transformations constitutes time. The universe therefore demonstrates itself as existence-as-totality through structural necessity.
