Dialectic of Differentiation: Structure, Becoming, Symbol
Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy, 21(1), 615-629.
This work presents a dialectical ontology grounded in the act of differentiation. Being is not posited but unfolds through recursive distinction, where each act generates and transforms the conditions of further differentiation. Forms persist as aspectual configurations of difference.
As differentiation recurs, it gives rise to structure, space, time, life, symbol, and society, each as a modulation in a multidimensional aspect-space. The dialectic here is not synthesis but immanent recursion: difference operating on itself. Potentiality is the unformed field enabling this dynamic. Ontology thus arises from within the movement of differentiation itself.
