One-Grounded Context Theory (OGCT): Unity at the Ground, Relativity in Judgment

This paper introduces the One-Grounded Context Theory (OGCT), a framework designed to reconcile ontological unity with the contextual variability of binary judgment. The theory advances the maxim “unity at the ground, relativity in judgment,” positing a context-invariant ontological ground—the One—together with a structured account of context-dependent evaluation. The Context Trichotomy Theorem identifies three minimal sources of divergence (orientation, framework, and informational state), while the Context Transformation Theorem explains systematic judgmental shifts. The Context Invariance Theorem establishes layered stability conditions that prevent relativistic collapse. The paper further introduces irreducible contextual tension (ICT) to account for persistent disagreement after maximal contextual alignment. Finally, the Contextual Conflict Diagnostic Protocol (CCDP) operationalizes the framework as a structured analytical procedure.
