Awareness is Truth
The Irreducible Field
0 · Logical Framework
- Identity —
A = A - Non-Contradiction —
¬(A ∧ ¬A) - Absolute Truth — a claim whose denial self-refutes (Performative Self-Refutation, PSR).
1 · Locating the Absolute
- Most claims (scientific, mathematical, historical) can be doubted coherently.
- Denial of "awareness exists" demands awareness of the denial ⇒ PSR collapse.
Therefore: "Awareness is" is the only indisputable fact.
2 · 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 · Unbounded ⇒ Infinite
- Any putative edge, origin, or outside appears within awareness. A container cannot be fenced by its own content.
- Unboundedness + inexhaustible differentiation (Cantor1) ⇒ functional infinity: endless extensibility, no final pixel.
4 · 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 ⇒ excise it (Occam).
4.3 Objection Net
- Brain lesions alter mind → brain causes mind.
Correlation within awareness ≠ 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 · Synthesis
- "Awareness is" survives PSR ⇒ absolute.
- Absolute truth cannot change.
- No boundary proposition escapes inclusion in awareness ⇒ field unbounded.
- Unbounded + inexhaustible ⇒ infinite.
- All phenomena—brains, galaxies, other minds—are 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 Gödel'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.
