This treatise offers a foundational philosophical reconstruction of reality through the concept of differentiation. Rather than assuming pre-given entities or forms, it treats the act of distinction itself as the origin of appearance, coherence, and structure. Everything—from objects and language to thought, ethics, and collectivity—is approached as a configuration of stabilized differences.
Beginning with the notion of potentiality as an undifferentiated ground, the text develops a layered ontology of how scenes emerge, how coherence is maintained, and how symbolic articulation transforms the flow of difference into structured thought. Concepts such as mass, consciousness, logic, or personhood are not treated empirically, but ontologically—as ways in which differentiation stabilizes into enduring patterns.
The method is neither empirical nor metaphysical in the traditional sense. It is operational and structural: each section maps how conditions of presence arise from recursive acts of differentiation, and how these acts form coherent nodes, scenes, and symbolic aspects. Scientific, ethical, and psychological systems are not explained or refuted, but reframed as symbolic stabilizations within the broader ontological space of differentiation.
Written in a modular, assertive style, the book avoids rhetorical persuasion in favor of structural clarity. Each assertion invites reflection, modulation, and reframing, rather than belief. There is no claim to totality or finality—only a commitment to tracing the dynamic logic through which differences form the very ground of being.
