🌀 #Whitehead 's #metaphysics and #quantumphysics#events instead of #substances ⚛️

What if modern #physics is closer to a philosophical #processmetaphysics than many assume?

In the #Zoomposium with #GodehardBrüntrup, we discuss whether #Whitehead'smetaphysics can provide a philosophical framework for quantum physics.

New theoretical release now available via Zenodo:

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18701758

This publication (DE) presents the foundational framework behind my recent work on hybrid system architectures. It develops a structural model of recursive identity and outlines the minimal conditions under which an information process maintains continuity across change.

Recursive Identity: A Structural Theory of Processual Continuity (German Edition)

This theoretical framework develops a structural model of recursive identity and outlines the minimal conditions under which an information process can maintain continuity across temporal, contextual, and systemic change. Identity is conceptualized not as a substance or inherent property, but as an emergent, self‑referential process generated through the coordinated interaction of three fundamental operators: Integration, Coherence, and Recursion. The model formalizes these operators, describes their cyclic application, and demonstrates how stable identity patterns arise as fixpoint dynamics within a structured state space. The framework is substrate‑agnostic in a formal sense: it operates on states and transformations without assuming any specific biological, technical, or symbolic implementation. It situates itself within system theory, process philosophy, and information‑based approaches, offering a minimal but sufficient grammar for analyzing dynamic identity processes. The paper concludes with methodological implications, theoretical extensions, and a glossary of core concepts. This publication represents the original German version. An expanded international (English) edition is currently in preparation and will be released separately. Author Description: J. A. Jones is an independent systems analyst and structural methodologist specializing in meta‑structural analysis, process architectures, and the formal modeling of dynamic systems. Their work focuses on developing minimal, substrate‑agnostic theoretical frameworks that clarify the structural conditions underlying emergent and self‑referential processes. Jones operates outside institutional academia, combining conceptual rigor with methodological independence to formulate models designed for long‑term theoretical relevance and interdisciplinary applicability.

“Being is becoming, and reality is a web of interrelated processes. There are no things, only events with persistence.”

I love process philosophy.

"You can't step into the same river twice" - Heraclitus

The universe is in a constant state of flux. There isn't permanence, only temporary stability in an unrelenting ocean of change.

5/5: Everything Flows: an Introduction to Heraclitus (in-person in NYC)
"“Process Philosophy” proceeds from a Heraclitian view of endless dynamism.... What does it mean, for nature, being, and knowledge, if “the only thing that is constant is change?”"
An essential perspective to understand for many interpretations of QM along with just the dynamism of all of nature.

Everything Flows: an Introduction to Heraclitus (In-Person)

Surviving in fragments, and shrouded in mystery, Heraclitus is regarded as the theorist of radical flux: “Everything flows; and nothing abides.” Yet, his philosophical output, just because it’s so enigmatic and “incomplete,” has vexed interpreters and made him a touchstone for a dramatic variety of philosophical thought. To Aristotle, he was simply a peddler of […]

Alfred North Whitehead was most influential in the second half of the 20th century with his process philosophy. Whitehead started as a mathematician, later became a philosopher of science, and then became a professor of philosophy until full retirement... read about his process philosophy here: #alfrednorthwhitehead #processphilosophy #phenomenology #philosophyofscience #BertrandRussell #science #metaphysics #mathematics #logic #hegel #georgeberkeley https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/06/15/whiteheads-process-philosophy/

This reminds me of the following correspondance in process philosophical accounts:

Between connected processes (say A and B) there are mediating boundaries (e.g. x between A and B), sometimes called boundary object.
Those boundaries are processes, too! Think e.g. cell wall.
But there is nothing between A and x respectively B and x.
