Absolutology - Part Two of Instancology

The Absolute consisted of two parts, Relatively Absolute and Absolutely Absolute.

On Relative Absolute

"RA is the ground of irreducible absolutes within logic — logic, mathematics, laws, life, and meaning — the formless conditions that make all form and thought possible."

Definition I: Absolute is of logic infinity used as an adjective as in Absolute Relative(AR). This infinity ends up in human consciousness. Logic infinity to study the final form of logical development. For example, what is the perfect display form, DOS, Window, or cellular device or ….

Step 1: Recall the 2×2 Core

Relative (R) ↔ Absolute-related (A) Two layers: AR, RR ↔ RA, AA So RA sits in the A level, but within logic (unlike AA).

Step 2: Categorize the RA pillars

Think of RA as formless absolutes expressed through different modes of necessity. We can group them along two axes:

Formal vs. Factual

Formal: Logic, Mathematics

Factual: Laws, Life, Meaning

Structural vs. Existential

Structural: Logic, Mathematics, Laws

Existential: Life, Meaning

Step 3: Mapping into 2×2

Here’s one possible mapping: | Axis | Structural (Order/Rule) | Existential (Being/Sense) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Formal (Pure forms) | Logic (rules of validity) <br> Mathematics (quantitative structures) | — (formal existential may be empty; existence is never purely formal) | | Factual (Given truths) | Laws (word-based necessities, e.g., entropy, constants) | Life (self-organizing dynamism) <br> Meaning (sense and value) |

Step 4: Interpretation

Logic + Mathematics → RA’s formal skeleton.

Laws → RA’s necessary factual givens, bridging form and reality.

Life + Meaning → RA’s existential absolutes, which cannot be reduced to form or fact but are presupposed in human being and experience.

So RA = five irreducibles organized as:

Formal-structural: Logic, Mathematics

Factual-structural: Laws

Factual-existential: Life, Meaning

Step 5: Why this matters

This mapping shows RA is not random: it is the necessary framework of the Absolute within logic. It gives:

The formal preconditions of thought (logic, mathematics).

The worded necessities that science discovers (laws).

The existential grounds that make thought and value possible (life, meaning).

Five elements in optical sense.

1. Meaning

Ontic status: Meaning seems the most dependent on interpretation. Without beings capable of intending or signifying, “meaning” as such is silent. Yet: One could argue that the world itself already “bears” a kind of proto-meaning in its structure — the fact that relations exist and can be interpreted shows that meaning is not purely human, but latent in reality. Conclusion: Without humans, manifest meaning vanishes, but ontic meaningfulness (the relational potential for significance) remains.

2. Life

Ontic status: Life does not depend on humans; it emerged long before humans and could exist without them. Conclusion: Life is ontically independent. It is not reducible to human interpretation, though our categories for describing it are.

3. Laws

Ontic status: Laws (e.g., gravity, thermodynamics) are indifferent to human existence. The universe operated under them long before conscious beings arose. Conclusion: Laws are fully ontic, existing regardless of interpreters.

4. Logic

Ontic status: More difficult. Logic is the structure of consistency itself — e.g., “A cannot be non-A at the same time in the same respect.” Even if no mind applied it, reality would still be structured in ways that either hold or do not hold together. Example: A star cannot both explode and not explode at the same moment. That is ontically true, independent of observers. Conclusion: Logic is ontic — not invented, but discovered.

5. Mathematics

Ontic status: Numbers and geometrical relations appear human-symbolic, but their truth holds regardless of us. The ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter was π before any human existed. Planetary orbits followed ellipses before Kepler. Conclusion: Mathematics is ontic, though its symbolic articulation is human.

Synthesis (Ontic Justification)

Fully ontic: Life, Laws, Logic, Mathematics — they are whether or not we are.

Conditionally ontic: Meaning — in its latent sense (as structured relationality) it persists, but in its manifest sense (as interpreted significance) it requires a mind.

So in short:

Without humans: Laws, logic, mathematics, and life would still be.

Meaning would exist only as potential, not as explicit significance.

Definition II: Absolute is of logic zero used as a noun as in relative Absolute(RA). It ends up with four formless entities: life, logic, laws and mathematics.

For example, a good kid started to become a criminal. A law-abiding husband decided to murder his wife and children at one point in his life. From nothing to something is the process from logic zero to logic one, two,….

On Absolutely Absolute

Definition III: Absolute is of being beyond logic, called Absolutely Absolute (AA). It’s a logic necessity in structure, but not a real entity. In fact, any description of AA is incorrect. We can only borrow words trying to express it temporarily.
