Judgement as Structural Mutation: When Attribution Rewrites the Form It Reflects

This paper examines whether judgement can do more than merely reflect existing structures—whether it can actively transform the very structure (Judgemental Triad: Constructivity, Coherence, Resonance) within which it operates. Challenging the view of judgement as purely reactive, we ask if the act of attribution can mutate the symbolic, logical, or relational frameworks it engages with. We propose that certain pivotal judgements function not as interpretations but as ontological interventions, altering what is subsequently possible to be judged. We define this phenomenon as judgemental recursion or a "Judgemental Mutation Event" (JME): a feedback loop where attribution reshapes the preconditions of meaning (Constructivity, Coherence, Resonance). This perspective reframes judgement not just as discernment but potentially as a generative, world-altering force, with significant implications for ethics, ontology, and the understanding of structural change.
