The Principle of Existence

Koan 10.1

All existence is a conference of difference: a 'condition of bearing together' transforming the 'condition of bearing apart'.

Summary exposition:

The central mechanism is ontological relation itself, where distinct entities are defined not by isolation but by their dynamic interplay, transforming separation into coexistence. Whether we infer the condition of an elementary particle as a discrete corpuscle,^[1] a quantum wave packet,^[2] or an excitation of a field,^[3] each conceptualization is, in itself, a conference of difference. The fundamental implication is that the 'conference of difference' is not a property of any single physical theory, but a constitutive pattern of existence itself. Our models change, but the 'condition of being' that is existence—as a conference of difference—remains its constant expression.
