Infostructural Monism (ISM): A Comprehensive Ontological Framework

Infostructural Monism (ISM) proposes a novel monistic ontology constituted by the singular, eternal Universal Substrate (US). The US possesses two inseparable, co-primordial attributes: Informational Polarity (IP or 0), the atemporal, exhaustive context of all logical possibility, and Structural Polarity (SP or 1), the dynamic, temporal manifestation of bounded content. This necessary antithetical relationship (0/1) functions as the intrinsic binary code of the universe, establishing intelligibility and all logical constraints. Integrating classical monism and contemporary information theory, ISM rests on key axioms: deterministic Universal Sequentialism (a single fixed cosmic timeline called The Sequence) and Cosmological Recyclicalism, which ensures eternal recurrence for exhaustive structural expression. All phenomena—including physical laws, consciousness, and aesthetic judgments—emerge from the US’s necessary execution. By deriving diversity from Maximal Differentiation, ISM achieves absolute Infostructural Coherence, avoiding dualistic inconsistencies. This paper elaborates ISM’s core terminology, polarities, Objects, Agents, and explores implications for metaphysics, cosmology, epistemology, and quantum mechanics.
