A Cosmological Argument
"Building upon the modal framework established by Gale and Pruss (1999) and the epistemic defenses of the PSR by Koons (1997), this paper provides a fully modernized, rigorous formalization of the Modal Cosmological Argument. By introducing explicit bridge axioms (A1,A2) and an asymmetric performative model of agent causation, this proof demonstrates how W-PSR successfully yields a necessary, personal, free agent while systematically avoiding modal collapse and part-whole circularity."
