Reading guide (concise definitions) for Consciousness of the Real (CdR).

CdR Consciousness of the Real

Exploratory structural framework aimed at studying the internal coherence of reality from its minimal conditions of existence.

Category : Corpus

CELA

Neutral name designating the substance of the real, understood as an immanent totality without exterior.

Category : Ontology

Substance of the Real

That which persists through transformation while maintaining internal coherence.

Category : Ontology

Internal coherence

Non-contradictory compatibility of the internal differentiations of a system.

Category : Concepts

Immanence

Principle according to which the cause and regulation of the real lie entirely within its own dynamics.

Category : Ontology

Perception of change

Minimal phenomenological evidence that something varies within the real.

Category : Foundations

Minimal act of being

Effective internal difference implied by the perception of a change.

Category : Ontology

To exist CdR

To persist within a finite internal contrast compatible with coherence.

Category : Ontology

Ontological finitude

Unity without uniformity

Unity capable of sustaining internal variation without fragmentation of being.

Category : Concepts

ρ ontological density

Existence of effective internal contrasts within a coherent unity.

Category : Structure

Differentiated reactivity

Response whose form depends on the internal structure of the system.

Category : Dynamics

Minimal sensitivity

Reactivity without implication of consciousness or subjective experience.

Category : Foundations

Immanent dynamism

Property according to which change proceeds from the real itself rather than from external causes.

Category : Dynamics

Immanent intelligibility

Property by which the real is describable because it is structurally coherent.
