Awareness is Truth
The Irreducible Field
0 Ā· Logical Framework
- Identity ā
A = A
- Non-Contradiction ā
¬(A ⧠¬A)
- Absolute Truth ā a claim whose denial self-refutes (Performative Self-Refutation, PSR).
1 Ā· Locating the Absolute
- Most claims (scientific, mathematical, historical) can be doubted coherently.
- Denial of "awareness exists" demands awareness of the denial ā PSR collapse.
Therefore: "Awareness is" is the only indisputable fact.
2 Ā· Immutability
- If the fact could ever become false, denying it in that moment would require awareness, immediately restoring truth.
- Hence the truth-value of "awareness exists" is necessarily unchanging.
3 Ā· Unbounded ā Infinite
- Any putative edge, origin, or outside appears within awareness. A container cannot be fenced by its own content.
- Unboundedness + inexhaustible differentiation (Cantor1) ā functional infinity: endless extensibility, no final pixel.
4 Ā· Physical Realism Deconstructed
4.1 Circular Causation
All "evidence" for mind-independent matter is itself an appearance in awareness, making the causal arrow circular.
4.2 Parsimony
We possess one undeniable ontic category (awareness) and a hypothetical second ("external matter"). The latter adds complexity without explanatory gain ā excise it (Occam).
4.3 Objection Net
- Brain lesions alter mind ā brain causes mind.
Correlation within awareness ā ontic production. - Shared world proves objectivity.
Inter-subjective regularity is a stable pattern in the field, not proof of an outside substrate. - Physics predicts eclipses; prediction needs matter.
Predictive success shows pattern reliability inside the field; the concept "physical law" is itself an appearance in awareness, not evidence of an external realm.
5 Ā· Synthesis
- "Awareness is" survives PSR ā absolute.
- Absolute truth cannot change.
- No boundary proposition escapes inclusion in awareness ā field unbounded.
- Unbounded + inexhaustible ā infinite.
- All phenomenaābrains, galaxies, other mindsāare modulations within this infinite field.
Implication: every inquiry is the field examining itself.
Technical Footnotes
1 Cantor's diagonal argument: the set of all subsets of a set has strictly greater cardinality, demonstrating inexhaustibility of distinctions.
2 Gƶdel's incompleteness theorem: any consistent formal system rich enough for arithmetic contains true but unprovable statements, supporting the claim that no finite schema can exhaust truth.
