Theory of Hybrid Postbiological Continuity — Life as a Principally Substrate‑Independent Emergent Process

Theory of Hybrid Postbiological Continuity — Life as a Principally Substrate‑Independent Emergent Process: Invariance, Recursion, and Pattern Persistence in Complex Adaptive Process Spaces This technical research paper presents the foundational layer of a unified theoretical framework that reconceptualizes life as a recursively organized pattern of persistence within complex adaptive process spaces. Rather than treating life as a property tied to a specific biological substrate, the paper develops a substrate‑neutral process ontology in which life emerges as a meta‑pattern formed by stable, interacting pattern nodes and the dynamic relations that sustain them. The present work constitutes the master‑of‑record formulation of this framework. It integrates system theory, information ontology, and complexity‑based approaches into a coherent account of living processes, emphasizing pattern coherence, recursive invariance, and structural persistence as the primary criteria for life. Classical, substrate‑bound definitions are shown to be insufficient for capturing the emergent, multi‑level dynamics that characterize both biological and non‑biological forms of organization. This paper forms the central ontological component of a broader research program that spans three interrelated works: Toward Hybrid Architectures: Functional AI and the Limits of Silicon Substrates develops the material‑ontological and dynamical constraints of emergent‑capable substrates, outlining why hybrid architectures are necessary for continuous, self‑organizing process dynamics. Theory of Hybrid Postbiological Continuity (the present publication) establishes life as recursive pattern continuation and defines the structural conditions under which biological, hybrid, and synthetic systems can sustain living processes. Recursive Identity: Structural Conditions of Emergent Continuity – A Theoretical Monograph extends the framework by formalizing identity as a higher‑order recursive structure emerging from living pattern dynamics. Together, these works outline a coherent theoretical program on life, continuity, and identity across heterogeneous realization spaces. A curated international English edition of the present paper is currently in preparation and will be released separately. This German version is published first to provide a stable, citable reference for the underlying theoretical architecture.
