Symbolic Monism and the Horizon of Consciousness: A Post-Ontological Deconstruction of Reality as a Weave of Mathematics and Language

This paper advances the thesis of Symbolic Monism: reality is not composed of matter or mental substance, but of a single horizon of consciousness whose intrinsic syntax is constituted by mathematics (the relational structure of 0–9) and language (the identity structure of A–Z). Building upon an episte- mological foundation that renders “external to consciousness” structurally incoherent, I argue that the principle of non-contradiction is not a contingent logical rule but the condition of possibility for any distinction whatsoever to arise within consciousness. From this foundation, I derive a unified account of science, fiction, and pseudo-science: not as hierarchically ordered by corre- spondence to external reality, but as variants differing in their degree of systemic resonance with the intrinsic syntax of consciousness. Scientific laws constitute the deep current—not because society endorses them, but because they express the most efficient relational grammar available to consciousness. The paper closes by demonstrating that this framework is neither solipsistic, relativis- tic, nor anti-scientific, but constitutes a genuinely post-ontological position irreducible to Kantian idealism, Wittgensteinian language-game theory, social constructivism, or Advaita Vedanta.
