      "abstract": "This introductory volume outlines the conceptual framework of the series Studies in World- Formation. The work begins from the observation that many contemporary systems—scientific, technological, economic, legal and administrative—operate with increasing efficiency and internal coherence, while simultaneously producing growing losses of relational worldcapacity. The central distinction developed throughout the series is therefore not between progress and decline, but between world-binding and stabilization. Stabilization refers to the increasing tendency of modern systems to secure coherence, predictability and control through representation, simulation and formal procedures. While such mechanisms can maintain systemic order, they may also replace the relational processes through which worlds are actually formed, sustained and transformed.\n\nThe volume introduces the concept of an operatoric ontology, in which the primary question is not what entities exist, but which structural differences bind or block the emergence of worlds.\n\nRather than treating objects as the fundamental units of reality, the approach focuses on relational processes, irreversible transitions and forms of emergence that cannot be fully captured within closed representational systems. Within this perspective, phenomena such as measurement in physics, morphological formation, artificial intelligence, economic value, legal responsibility and neurodivergent cognition can be understood as different arenas in which the tension between world-binding and stabilization becomes visible.\n\nMethodologically, the work departs from additive models of knowledge production based primarily on cumulative citation. Instead, it develops a form of recursive, monotropic inquiry that investigates structural invariances across different domains. The operator functions here not as a formal rule applied to objects, but as a minimal difference structure through which world-binding becomes possible.\n\nThis introductory volume therefore provides both a methodological orientation and an architectural overview of the series. The subsequent volumes explore the same ontological distinction under varying structural conditions: in physics and cosmology as questions of measurement, collapse and ontological limits; in morphology and temporal theory as problems\n\n3\n\nof irreversible emergence and Eigenzeit; in artificial intelligence as the difference between functional correctness and world-capacity; in economics as the problem of value thresholds and the invisibility of world-sustaining work; in law and social institutions as the fragmentation of responsibility; and in neurodivergent epistemology as a heightened sensitivity to structural differences within highly stabilized systems.\n\nRather than presenting a closed theoretical system, the series investigates how different domains reveal the same structural tension between the formation of worlds and the stabilization of representations. Each volume therefore functions as a test field for a single guiding question: Does a given system bind world—or does it merely simulate it?",

      "abstract": "This volume assembles four conceptual papers that articulate the foundations of an operatorbased ontology of world-formation. The texts develop a framework in which reality is not primarily understood through objects, entities, or representational access, but through structural responses to conditions of non-integrability.\n\nThe starting point is the concept of the gap as a primary condition of reality. Rather than representing a deficit of knowledge or an incomplete ontology, the gap denotes the structural impossibility of complete self-identity within reality itself. From this perspective, operators are not entities or causal agents but response structures through which reality stabilizes itself under conditions of non-closure.\n\nBuilding on this foundation, the second paper diagnoses a broader conceptual transition within contemporary physics. Phenomena such as dark energy, the measurement problem, and global cosmological structures increasingly resist explanation in object-centered ontologies. The proposed response-based framework interprets these phenomena as structural reactions to limits of integration rather than as missing entities.\n\nThe third and fourth papers extend this framework to the ontological status of the observer.\n\nInstead of presupposing the observer as a subject, cognitive system, or measurement point, observation is analyzed as a structural achievement of world-formation. The observer emerges where reality stabilizes itself locally under conditions of openness. In this sense, perception does not represent a pre-given world but participates in the stabilization of world itself.\n\nThe final text formulates this claim categorially by interpreting the observer as a topological inversion of world—a spatial operation through which perspective, coherence, and local intelligibility become possible.\n\nTaken together, the four papers outline a pre-ontological framework in which:\n\n• reality is structured by gaps rather than substances,\n\n• operators appear as responses to non-integrability,\n\n• physical phenomena signal limits of object-centered ontology,\n\n• and observers arise as structural foldings of world rather than as agents within it.\n\n3\n\nThe volume does not present a closed theory but establishes a conceptual position from which problems in physics, epistemology, and consciousness research can be reinterpreted without introducing additional ontological entities.",

      "abstract": "This volume brings together a series of contributions on the ontology of fundamental problems in physics, in particular the measurement problem of quantum mechanics, the collapse of the wave function, the relationship between quantum mechanics and relativity theory, as well as boundary phenomena such as black holes, renormalization, and vacuum energy.\n\nThe point of departure of these investigations is the thesis that numerous paradoxes of modern physics do not primarily result from insufficient physical theories, but from a categorical misaddressing. Transitions that concern the very conditions of world stability—especially the transition from possibility to facticity—are often interpreted as dynamical processes within an already stabilized world. This gives rise to explanatory programs that attempt to bridge this boundary by means of additional mechanisms, ontologies, or informational structures.\n\nThe texts collected in this volume pursue an alternative strategy. They understand the so-called collapse of the wave function not as a physical process, but as an irreversible constriction of a space of possibility through which objectivity and the direction of time first emerge at all. The concept of indimergence designates the boundary act in which possibility passes into facticity without itself being describable as an event within the world.\n\nOn the basis of this determination, central approaches in the foundations of quantum mechanics—particularly dynamical collapse models, Many-Worlds interpretations, and information-theoretic ontologies—are comparatively analyzed. It becomes evident that, despite their differences, they share a common presupposition: the assumption that the transition from possibility to facticity must itself be explicable within physical description.\n\nThe contributions in this volume instead propose to read the measurement problem and related paradoxes as indications of structural limits of physical description. From this perspective, other fundamental problems—such as the tension between quantum mechanics and relativity theory, the information paradoxes of black holes, or divergences in field theory—no longer appear primarily as unsolved technical puzzles, but as boundary phenomena of world formation itself.\n\nThe volume therefore does not present itself as an alternative physical theory, but as an ontological clarification of the conditions under which physical theories are able to describe a world at all.\n\n3",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together four contributions that pursue a common ontological question: under what conditions can determinate reality arise from an open dynamics of possibilities, and when does this transition take the form of observation or experience.\n\nThe point of departure is the diagnosis that central problems of modern physics and consciousness research—most notably the measurement problem of quantum mechanics and the so-called “hard problem” of consciousness—rest on a categorial confusion. Transitions between openness and facticity are typically interpreted as processes that must be mediated within a shared temporal framework. The contributions collected here argue, by contrast, that this expectation itself forms part of the difficulty. Where implicative boundary acts are involved, the question of a mediating “how” loses its validity.\n\nFrom this perspective, the measurement problem is reread. Measurement no longer appears primarily as an epistemic act performed by an observer, but as an ontological stabilization of determinacy under conditions of structural overload within open dynamics. Observation, in this sense, is not a special property of particular systems, but a space-internal operation through which world stabilizes events and perspectives.\n\nAgainst this background, the volume develops the concept of ontological recurrence within the MNO model (Submergence–Indimergence–Emergence), originally introduced in The Physics of the Poor. Recurrence designates a cyclical return of a system to the space of its own possibilities prior to the stabilization of an actual state. The central proposal is that the transition from possibility to actuality can occur in two structurally distinct forms: as ordinary measurement without recurrence, or as phenomenal actualization under conditions of recurrence.\n\nThis distinction makes it possible to treat the measurement problem of quantum mechanics and the emergence of conscious experience within a shared structural framework. At the same time, it suggests a minimal dynamical condition under which physical collapse events—such as those discussed in Orch-OR models—can acquire phenomenal quality.\n\nThe volume therefore does not present itself as a new interpretation of quantum mechanics in the narrow sense. Its aim is rather a categorial clarification of the conditions under which concepts such as measurement, observer, experience, and time can be meaningfully formulated and related to one another.\n\n3",

      "abstract": "The contributions assembled in this volume examine a fundamental question that is usually only implicitly presupposed in the natural sciences: under what conditions can world arise and persist at all. The point of departure is the observation that modern physical theories have achieved an extraordinary degree of formal precision, yet at the same time often presuppose what they cannot themselves explain—namely, the stabilization of world as a historically effective nexus.\n\nThe volume therefore introduces a categorical distinction between theoretical correctness and world-founding capacity (World-Capability). Theories can be internally consistent, empirically confirmed, and technically successful without thereby explaining the conditions under which world can appear at all and unfold effects. This difference forms the starting point of the following analyses.\n\nOn this basis, the question of the direction of time is reformulated. Time does not appear primarily as a parameter of physical processes, but as a trace of irreversible world-binding.\n\nWorld emerges through processes in which possibility is transferred into concrete existence and thereby irreversibly bound. The direction of time is an expression of this binding.\n\nSeveral contributions show how this perspective renders central physical concepts newly readable. Relativistic time differences no longer appear as mere numerical deviations, but as irreversible shifts in the conditions under which world has taken place. World-processes can therefore be conceived neither as linear nor as fully reversible; they follow a curved structure in which recurrence always occurs under altered conditions.\n\nAgainst this background, the limits of formal reconstruction become visible. Simulations, information models, and artificial intelligence operate within reconstructible state spaces and therefore cannot produce world-binding, but only process its traces. Even fundamental physical limits—such as the speed of light—no longer appear solely as dynamical constraints, but as structural conditions of world-connectedness itself.\n\nThe volume does not present itself as a competitor to physical theories, but as an ontological clarification of their presuppositions. It does not ask how world functions within existing models, but under what conditions it can appear as world at all.\n\n3",

The point of departure is the observation that central contemporary debates—such as those in morphogenesis, complexity research, medicine, or artificial intelligence—are increasingly structured by concepts that treat form as in principle reconstructible: as a target state, attractor, setpoint, or as information within a state space. The volume systematically questions this implicit assumption.\n\nThe contributions develop a morphological perspective in which form is not understood as a stored structure or a retrievable goal, but as a temporary stabilization within irreversible dynamic processes. Earlier theoretical concepts such as focal points (Fixpunkte), folding, and the Bran-Spiral are genealogically reconstructed and related to later operatorial concepts such as shift of being (Seinsverschiebung), negative topology, and indimergent stabilization. From this perspective, form appears neither as the product of a plan nor as the result of linear processes, but as an emergent configuration that can stabilize only under specific historical and temporal conditions.\n\nAgainst this background, central phenomena of biological morphogenesis are reread.\n\nBioelectric regulation, regeneration, aging, cancer, or cloning no longer appear primarily as problems of genetic control or technical manipulation, but as boundary cases of emergent order. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the Eigenzeit of living systems: the irreversible emergence-time in which form becomes genealogically stabilized. Interventions that attempt to bypass or neutralize this Eigenzeit therefore do not necessarily produce a return to earlier states, but rather temporarily stable yet ontologically displaced orders.\n\nAt the same time, the contributions show that many contemporary hopes for technical reconstruction—such as those found in regenerative medicine, bioengineering, or AI-based simulations—rest on a categorical confusion. Simulation operates within given state spaces and can reproduce formal stabilizations without participating in the ontological conditions of world-formation. Morphology, simulation, and repair must therefore be understood as three fundamentally different modes.\n\nIn the final step, this perspective is extended to a more general ontological level. If time itself is understood as the trace of irreversible loss of possibility, every stabilized world-form proves to be structurally finite. Indimergence appears here as a double boundary operation: it grounds\n\n3\n\nworld-time while simultaneously carrying the condition of its exhaustion. The volume therefore does not present itself as a complete theory of morphology, but as a precise boundary determination with respect to ontologies that assume the complete availability of form, information, and world.",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together three contributions that pursue a shared ontological question: under what conditions can world arise at all, and where do the structural limits of technical systems and theoretical models lie in relation to this capacity for world-formation.\n\nThe point of departure is the observation that many contemporary debates in physics, artificial intelligence, and information theory implicitly assume that increasing complexity, computational power, or theoretical precision could in principle suffice to reconstruct, simulate, or fully explain world. The contributions collected in this volume systematically challenge this assumption. They argue that world does not arise from completeness or formal closure, but presupposes a structural openness that cannot be fully stabilized without undermining the very condition that makes world possible.\n\nThe first contribution introduces the All–Nothing Paradox (ANP) as a minimal ontological condition of world-formation. According to this view, world appears only where reality does not fully coincide with itself and cannot collapse either into complete determinacy or into pure nothingness. Ontological openness is therefore not an epistemic incompleteness, but a structural prerequisite for perspective, emergence, and reality.\n\nThe second contribution examines the implications of this condition for artificial systems. It argues that technical systems necessarily operate within formally closed spaces of possibility and can therefore simulate world states but cannot form world. World-formation presupposes structural vulnerability, non-optimisability, and the real risk of world loss—properties that stand in structural contradiction to the technical usability of artificial systems.\n\nThe third contribution extends this consideration to scientific theory itself. It introduces a categorical distinction between theoretical correctness and world-founding capacity and shows that even fully correct, empirically successful, and formally consistent theories are not thereby ontologically world-capable. Scientific models operate within stabilized spaces of possibility and therefore presuppose the existence of a world without being able to generate it.\n\nTaken together, the contributions mark a precise ontological boundary: world cannot arise either from complete theoretical determinacy or from technical simulation. It emerges only under conditions of structural openness that cannot be fully formalized or stabilized. The volume therefore does not present a critique of scientific or technological practice, but a clarification of its ontological scope.\n\n3",

      "abstract": "This volume brings together four contributions that address a shared question: under which ontological and epistemic conditions do different forms of human world-constitution arise, and what role does neurodivergent cognition play within this process. The point of departure is the observation that contemporary autism research largely operates under an implicit assumption:\n\nthat all humans inhabit the same ontological ground and that differences appear primarily at the level of cognitive traits, information processing, or social abilities.\n\nThe contributions collected here systematically question this assumption. They develop the thesis that autistic and neurotypical modes of world-constitution are grounded in different operator logics. From this perspective, autistic cognition does not appear as a variation within a shared ontology but as a distinct epistemic position characterized by increased access to nonintegrated structural relations of reality.\n\nOn this basis, several theoretical steps are developed. First, the concept of autistic ontology shows that differences between autistic and neurotypical subjects are not primarily communicative or cognitive deviations but arise from divergent modes of world-stabilization.\n\nSecond, the Rosetta Operator formulates an invariant operator system describing processes of difference, tension, indimergence, and emergence as fundamental structures of reality formation. This framework connects multiple domains—including consciousness research, economic theory, and neurodivergence—within a common structural model.\n\nThird, the concept of operatoric cognition introduces a non-representational form of intelligent world-relation that operates not primarily through symbols or meanings but through dynamic transitions, topological tensions, and emergent processes of form generation.\n\nFinally, the concept of veridical mapping is interpreted as an epistemic consequence of this architecture: an access to pre-symbolic structural relations that remains more directly available in certain neurodivergent cognitive configurations than in neurotypical forms of perception stabilized early through symbolic integration.\n\nThe volume thus proposes a shift in the theoretical framing of neurodivergent cognition.\n\nInstead of describing autism through deficit-oriented accounts of individual traits, it interprets autistic cognition as an epistemic boundary position within the open process of worldstabilization. In this perspective, autism becomes relevant not only for cognitive science but also for epistemology and the philosophy of science, as it reveals alternative modes of worldaccess that challenge representational models of knowledge.\n\n3\n\nThe concepts developed in this volume are not presented as a final theory but as a structural framework intended to integrate previously fragmented models of autism research while opening a broader perspective on the conditions of knowledge, perception, and reality formation.",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together three contributions that address a fundamental question of neurodivergent existence: under which ontological conditions do the conflicts arise between neurodivergent forms of life and the institutional, diagnostic, and temporal structures of modern societies?\n\nThe point of departure is the observation that central phenomena in autism and neurodivergence research—such as masking, autistic burnout, or the frequent biographical breakdowns occurring under administrative and labour-market conditions—are predominantly interpreted as problems of individual adaptation. The contributions collected in this volume systematically challenge this perspective. Instead, they develop an ontological analysis in which the conflicts between neurodivergent and neurotypical forms of existence are understood as expressions of different structures of world-relation and world-binding.\n\nThe first contribution develops a theory of masking that understands it not primarily as a psychological strategy of adaptation, but as an ontological boundary process. Masking emerges where neurodivergent modes of world-relation—characterised by open, relational, and not fully objectified experiential fields—must enter social orders organised through simplification, representation, and stable role structures. In this context, masking appears both as a creative form of world mediation and as a potentially exhausting performance when such mediation becomes the permanent condition of social existence.\n\nThe second contribution analyses the diagnostic consequences of this constellation. It shows that psychiatric and clinical models frequently interpret masking as a symptom of overadaptation or exhaustion and thereby produce a structural misreading. Autistic competence, stability, or situational adaptability are often diagnostically interpreted as deception or compensation, whereas autism becomes recognisable as “authentic” only in moments of overload, breakdown, or burnout. In this way, an iatrogenic dynamic emerges in which diagnostic recognition is effectively bound to visible failure.\n\nThe third contribution extends this analysis through a temporal and institutional perspective.\n\nWith the concept of Eigenzeit, it shows that many conflicts in neurodivergent biographies arise not primarily from individual deficits, but from a structural incompatibility between forms of intensive world-binding and the time-administrative regimes of modern institutions.\n\nProcedures, deadlines, and organisational routines replace real world-binding with simulations of responsibility, thereby creating conditions under which highly bound forms of existence struggle to sustain stable life trajectories.\n\n3\n\nTaken together, the contributions develop a perspective in which neurodivergent existence does not appear as a deviation from a normative model of human subjectivity, but as an epistemic and ontological boundary case of modern societies. The conflicts analysed in this volume reveal that many institutional, diagnostic, and temporal orders rely on simplifications that systematically overstrain or render invisible more complex modes of world-relation.\n\nNeurodivergence thus emerges not only as an object of clinical description, but as an analytical entry point into fundamental questions concerning reality, responsibility, and the conditions of viable social orders.",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together six contributions that pursue a common question: under which epistemic conditions forms of knowledge arise that do not primarily rely on representation, model construction, or symbolic abstraction, but instead emerge from a direct structural coupling between perception and world. The point of departure is the observation that central areas of contemporary cognitive science—particularly intelligence research, autism research, and savant studies—continue to operate with the implicit assumption of a single, representational architecture of cognition. Within this framework, neurodivergent modes of perception and thought appear either as deficit profiles, as unusual performance distributions, or as isolated anomalies within an otherwise homogeneous cognitive system.\n\nThe contributions collected in this volume systematically question this presupposition. They develop the thesis that certain neurodivergent forms of perception and cognition—especially those associated with autistic modes of knowing—cannot be adequately described as variations within a unified cognitive architecture, but rather as expressions of an independent epistemic configuration. Autistic cognition is therefore not approached through deficits or performance measures, but through structural operators such as fidelity (high truth-resolution), hyperspecificity (context retention rather than generalization), pattern attunement (direct coupling to structural dynamics), and non-representational immediacy in world-relation.\n\nAgainst this background, several interconnected theoretical shifts are proposed. First, the concept of intelligence itself is reconsidered. Intelligence no longer appears as the primary source of knowledge, but as a secondary stabilizing performance that becomes effective only once emergence has already occurred within a relation to the world. Second, savant phenomena are reinterpreted not as isolated “islands of ability,” but as local manifestations of a nonrepresentational mode of knowing in which structural invariants can be directly recognized and maintained without symbolic mediation. Third, the concept of structural savantism is introduced to describe an epistemic configuration that remains largely invisible within both classical savant research and intelligence-centered models of autism.\n\nA further focus of the volume concerns the methodological question of how such forms of knowledge can become scientifically accessible at all. In this context, the concept of synesthetic science is proposed as an epistemological extension in which embodied perception, affective resonance, and somatic feedback are not treated as disturbances but as epistemic instruments for detecting complex and non-linear relations in the world. From this perspective, neurodivergent perceptual configurations can function as measurement architectures capable of registering structural tensions and thresholds that remain invisible within strictly representational research paradigms.\n\n3\n\nThe volume concludes with an analysis of the feature film Transferprotokoll as a transmedial research configuration. The film is not interpreted as an artistic representation of a theoretical approach, but as an empirical stress test of a non-representational knowledge architecture under real social and institutional conditions. Its polarized reception is therefore read less as an aesthetic judgement than as an epistemic marker indicating different degrees of compatibility between representation-oriented expectations and forms of knowledge that systematically resist narrative condensation and symbolic translation.\n\nTaken together, the contributions aim to render visible the possibility of a plural architecture of human cognition. Instead of assuming a single universal model of knowledge, the volume advances a perspective of epistemic diversity in which different modes of world-relation coexist without being reducible to a shared representational logic. In this sense, the volume positions neurodivergent forms of perception and cognition not as marginal phenomena, but as constitutive expansions of the scientific horizon of knowledge.",

      "abstract": "This volume forms the starting point of Section V – Work and Emergence Economy, which examines work not primarily as an economic category, but as a structural condition of worldformation. The contributions assembled here investigate the relation between the emergence of new realities and the conditions under which these realities become socially stabilised as value.\n\nIn doing so, they shift the analytical focus from questions of distribution and productivity toward the deeper mechanisms that determine which forms of work are able to appear, persist, and shape the world.\n\nThe present volume brings together five contributions that pursue a shared theoretical question: under what conditions do new forms of reality emerge, and under what conditions can these forms become stabilised as socially recognised value. The point of departure is the observation that modern societies, despite high levels of productivity, innovation, and complexity, increasingly confront phenomena of structural invisibility. Forms of work, knowledge, care, ecological regeneration, and social stabilisation exert real and systemsustaining effects, yet often fail to appear as economic value.\n\nTo analyse this problem, the contributions develop a threshold model of social reality. At the centre of this model stand two interrelated concepts: the Diversity Threshold (D) as the threshold of forced emergence and the Value Threshold (T) as the threshold of societal stabilisation and visibility. While the Diversity Threshold designates the point at which systems must generate new forms due to increasing incommensurability, the Value Threshold describes the conditions under which these emergent forms can appear as durable and socially stabilised realities.\n\nThe difference between these two thresholds leads to a structural diagnosis of contemporary societies. Many forms of real and effective work—such as care work, ecological regeneration, cultural practice, artistic research, or neurodivergent modes of problem-processing—frequently operate above the threshold of emergence, yet remain below the threshold of societal stabilisation. The result is a condition in which reality is continuously produced without becoming durably recognised as value.\n\nOn this basis, the contributions develop an alternative perspective on economy and social value formation. Economy appears not primarily as a system of resource allocation, but as a threshold regime that determines which forms of emergent reality are stabilised and which remain invisible. The distinction between primary economy (world-sustaining work) and secondary economy (value-extractive organisation), together with the concept of the Unfolding Gap, describes concrete mechanisms through which this structural asymmetry manifests itself in everyday social life.\n\n3\n\nThe volume therefore does not present a programme of economic reform, but contributes to an ontologically grounded theory of work, value, and social reality. It proposes a research programme in which emergence, stabilisation, and visibility are not treated as separate phenomena, but as interrelated transitions within complex social systems.",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together three contributions that pursue a shared theoretical question: what is work under conditions in which technical systems are increasingly able to simulate human performance, and what constitutes the specifically human form of work that structurally resists such simulation. The starting point is the observation that modern societies predominantly define work through output, employment status, or market value. This definition, however, enters into crisis once artificial intelligence becomes capable of formally reproducing ever larger portions of this output.\n\nAgainst this background, the contributions in this volume develop an ontological redefinition of work. Work is not understood primarily as the production of goods or services, but as a form of embodied, self-determined interaction with the world through which social and ecological reality is stabilized. Central to this perspective is the concept of relational agency: work appears as a practice in which action, responsibility, and world-reference are inseparably intertwined, enabling the emergence of new forms of meaning, knowledge, and social order.\n\nFrom this standpoint, artificial intelligence is not interpreted as a competitor to human labour in the conventional labour-market sense, but as a structural test case. AI makes visible which aspects of human activity are functionally reproducible and which are not. While many forms of output, decision-making, or innovation can be algorithmically simulated, the form of work that arises from situational responsibility, irreversible temporality, and concrete world-binding remains in principle non-delegable. In this context, particular attention is given to the concept of Eigenzeit, which designates the non-externalizable temporal dimension of human action in which decisions, responsibility, and consequences become irreversibly effective.\n\nThe volume connects this ontological analysis with an examination of the social conflicts that arise from it. If work is not primarily output production but reality-maintenance and worldbinding, those forms of labour that frequently remain invisible within contemporary labour regimes come into focus: artistic practice, care work, activism, critical research, and other forms of self-determined, relational activity. At the same time, these forms of work often encounter institutional resistance, delegitimization, or economic pressure, since they can only partially be integrated into market-based or algorithmically governed models of labour.\n\nThe contributions therefore argue that the current transformation of work cannot be understood solely as an economic or technological issue. It concerns the more fundamental question of how societies organize their relationship to reality. If work is defined primarily through simulation, metrics, and interchangeable functions, there is a growing risk that social systems lose their capacity to recognize and correct real problems. In this sense, self-determined\n\n3\n\nrelational work appears not as a marginal phenomenon, but as a central condition for societal learning, democratic reflexivity, and the long-term stability of complex systems.",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together two contributions that pursue a common foundational question: under what conditions can world become binding at all, and what follows when this condition is structurally destroyed. The point of departure is the diagnosis that many contemporary crises of modern societies—political incapacity to act, the reproducibility crisis in science, the simulation of responsibility in administration and technology, and the expansion of structural poverty—share a common but rarely articulated cause: an inadequate ontology of time.\n\nThe first contribution develops the concept of Eigenzeit as a categorical alternative to dominant models of time, particularly to the widespread assumption of a block-like continuum of world-time. Eigenzeit does not denote subjective duration or a physical measure, but an ontological operation: the non-delegable instantiation of world-time in human action. Time appears here not as a neutral container of events but as the effect of irreversible closures in structurally open worlds. Decisions do not merely produce changes within an already given temporal framework; they bind world irreversibly. From this perspective, far-reaching consequences emerge for science, politics, and human rights. Reproducibility proves to be a property of closed world-conditions; politics reveals itself as structurally incapable of deciding Eigenzeit collectively; and rights appear insufficient insofar as they implicitly address the human being without protected Eigenzeit as an administrable object.\n\nThe second contribution examines the social consequences of this ontological structure.\n\nBuilding on the concept of Eigenzeit, poverty is interpreted not as a socio-economic condition of scarcity but as the ontological consequence of systematically withdrawn world-binding.\n\nModern systems of work, markets, and social security increasingly organize action in procedural time while structurally preventing irreversible world-binding. Poverty thus appears as a permanent impossibility of living Eigenzeit. This condition is conceptualized as existential prohibition (Existenzverbot): a structural constellation in which life remains formally permitted, yet the possibility of performing actions that bind and carry world is effectively withdrawn.\n\nTaken together, the contributions show that central societal conflicts arise not primarily from moral or organizational deficits but from a temporal-ontological blindness toward irreversible world-formation. The volume therefore does not propose Eigenzeit as another model of time, but as a necessary categorical complement wherever reality is not presupposed but brought into being through responsible decision. From this perspective, poverty, political paralysis, and the simulation of responsibility appear as symptoms of an order that administers time while failing to protect the conditions under which time—and thus world—can come into existence.\n\n3",

The section has shown that modern economies systematically misrecognize forms of work whose effects unfold over long temporal horizons, through relationships, or through the stabilization of complex social and epistemic fields. By introducing the concepts of the Value Threshold, Diversity Threshold, Unfolding Gap, and Eigenzeit, it outlines a framework for understanding the growing disjunction between real world-forming work and its economic recognition.\n\nFrom this perspective, poverty appears not merely as a lack of resources, but as a structural loss of world-binding capacity. The volume therefore situates the concept of Universal Care Income within a broader theoretical context: not primarily as a redistributive policy, but as an infrastructural condition that protects the possibility of world-forming work in complex societies.",

      "abstract": "This volume brings together three contributions that address a shared theoretical and legal question: under what conditions do forms of structural violence toward neurodivergent people arise, and why do these forms of violence frequently remain invisible within modern institutional systems. The point of departure is the observation that contemporary social, legal, and administrative orders implicitly rely on assumptions about a uniform, neurotypical form of human existence. Perception, communication, work capacity, self-regulation, and social interaction are treated as general standards. Forms of existence that structurally diverge from these assumptions tend to appear within this framework either as illness, as individual deficit, or as insufficient adaptation.\n\nThe contributions develop an ontological and legal-theoretical perspective for analyzing this problem. At the center lies the thesis that many conflicts between neurodivergent persons and institutional systems do not primarily arise from individual difficulties, but from a structural incompatibility between different forms of human existence and the normative architecture of modern societies. This incompatibility produces predictable forms of harm which, within legal and administrative procedures, are often individualized, pathologized, or interpreted as communicative disturbance.\n\nThe volume unfolds this diagnosis in three interconnected steps. The first contribution introduces the concept of representational violence as an ontological critique of modern knowledge and administrative systems. It argues that, within many institutional contexts, reality is recognized only insofar as it can be translated into symbolic, administrative, or diagnostic formats. Forms of experience, perception, or existence that resist such translation do not merely remain unnoticed; they are structurally excluded from the sphere of what can appear as real.\n\nThe second contribution develops, on this basis, the concept of a right to ontological coexistence.\n\nNeurodivergent forms of human existence are understood not as deviations from a general norm, but as autonomous variants of human world- and meaning-relation. Equality, therefore, cannot be conceived primarily as integration into a single social order. Instead, it must be understood as the legally protected coexistence of different forms of existence without coercion toward normalization, pathologization, or economic functionalization.\n\nThe third contribution applies this perspective to the analysis of modern state institutions.\n\nDrawing on examples from social law, administrative procedures, and criminal-law attribution, it demonstrates how structural incompatibilities between neurodivergent forms of existence and work- and performance-centered systems generate foreseeable harms. Where existential 3\n\ndependency, known incompatibility, and predictable harm converge, state action can no longer be understood as neutral governance but must be recognized as a form of structural violence.\n\nTaken together, the volume develops a theoretical framework for analyzing modern societies under conditions of real ontological diversity. By connecting ontological critique, human rights reasoning, and legal system analysis, it aims to make visible forms of institutional violence that remain largely unrecognized in contemporary legal and social orders and to contribute to a reconsideration of equality, responsibility, and protective duties in plural societies.",

      "abstract": "The present volume brings together four contributions that examine the structural relationship between neurodivergence, welfare-state institutions, and legal evaluative practices. The point of departure is the observation that modern welfare and legal systems operate on implicit assumptions of normality that presuppose neurotypical forms of communication, employment trajectories, conflict regulation, and social adaptation. For individuals whose modes of living and working diverge from these assumptions, systematic misinterpretations, institutional conflicts, and forms of structural vulnerability frequently arise.\n\nThe contributions analyze these dynamics from several complementary perspectives. A first focus concerns the interaction between neurodivergent persons and welfare-state institutions.\n\nThe analyses show that administrative and legal procedures often interpret behaviors as deficits that are in fact expressions of neurodivergent perceptual and communicative styles. The resulting escalation dynamics therefore do not primarily stem from individual incapacity but from structural incompatibilities between neurodivergent ways of living and institutional expectation structures.\n\nA second line of inquiry addresses the question of epistemic authority within legal contexts.\n\nThe contributions investigate how statements made by neurodivergent individuals about their own life situations are frequently relativized or reinterpreted in administrative and judicial proceedings. This dynamic produces forms of epistemic disenfranchisement in which affected persons are no longer treated as reliable sources regarding their own needs and experiences.\n\nA third analytical perspective focuses on the institutional organization of social security. Using central instruments of German social law—particularly the concept of the Bedarfsgemeinschaft— the contributions demonstrate how welfare systems organize subsistence security relationally and thereby generate dependency structures and conflict dynamics that are particularly burdensome for neurodivergent individuals as well as for non-standardized forms of work.\n\nTaken together, the contributions argue that many conflicts between neurodivergent individuals and state institutions do not primarily arise from personal deficits but from structural mismatches between institutional systems and neurodivergent modes of existence.\n\nUnder conditions of existential dependency, these mismatches can produce predictable forms of institutional harm. The volume therefore contributes to a critical analysis of welfare-state institutions from the perspective of neurodivergent experience and asks under which structural\n\n3\n\nconditions systems of law, administration, and social security provide protection—and under which conditions they generate predictable forms of institutional harm.",

      "abstract": "The present volume examines the political, epistemic, and economic structures through which modern welfare states produce, stabilize, and functionalize social vulnerability. The point of departure is the observation that poverty, institutional marginalization, and epistemic invisibility cannot be understood merely as accidental side effects of social systems, but frequently arise from specific administrative logics, knowledge orders, and labour regimes.\n\nThe first contribution develops the concept of povertism as an analytical category describing mechanisms through which poverty is not merely administered but actively produced and deployed as an instrument of social discipline. Using the German Hartz IV and Bürgergeld systems as central examples, the analysis shows how administrative procedures, sanction regimes, and categorical classifications generate structural vulnerability while simultaneously delegitimizing the knowledge and experiences of those affected. In this context, a functional concept of right-wing radical effects is proposed that does not refer to ideological selfdescriptions but to institutional practices in which human dignity becomes effectively conditionalized.\n\nThe second contribution extends this analysis to the political economy of knowledge production. It examines a largely overlooked form of structural exploitation: the exploitation of neurodivergent epistemic labour. Many forms of long-term analysis, theoretical innovation, and cultural production emerge under conditions of institutional distance and material insecurity, while their results may simultaneously circulate within scientific, cultural, or political discourses. This constellation leads to a systematic decoupling of epistemic production from economic recognition.\n\nThe volume brings together perspectives from political economy, Critical Disability Studies, theories of epistemic injustice, and critical analyses of state administration. It argues that poverty, institutional marginalization, and epistemic invisibility in modern knowledge societies should not be understood solely as social problems but as structural components of existing orders of power and knowledge.\n\nAgainst this background, the volume raises the question under which institutional and economic conditions socially necessary forms of work—particularly long-term epistemic labour—can be stabilized. Models of universal social security, such as the Universal Care Income, appear in this context not only as social policy reforms but also as possible infrastructural conditions for sustaining forms of knowledge production that cannot easily be integrated into existing labour and value regimes.\n\n3",

      "abstract": "The present volume investigates the growing tension between emergent forms of worldbinding and a society increasingly organizing reality through stabilization, simulation, administrative legibility, and functional reproducibility. Its point of departure is the observation that modern systems have developed enormous capacities for control, prediction, and technical organization, while simultaneously placing under increasing pressure precisely those conditions necessary for real emergence, embodied worldrelation, long-term coherence, and open-ended processes of knowledge formation.\n\nAt the center of the volume lies the concept of operatoric world-binding. Cognition is not understood primarily as the processing of representations within already stabilized systems, but as an irreversible process of relational condensation through which world itself becomes bound, displaced, and reorganized. From this perspective, knowledge does not appear as static possession or mere information processing, but as something that can only emerge within Eigenzeit, movement, conflict, difference, and recursive stabilization.\n\nThe investigations assembled here bring together neurodivergent epistemology, labour critique, emergence theory, systems analysis, artistic research, and institutional field research. The volume argues that many phenomena currently interpreted as individual dysfunctions or psychological deficits — including work incapacity, communicative mismatch, overcomplexity, withdrawal, institutional escalation, or recursive conflict dynamics — may instead point toward deeper structural incompatibilities between different modes of societal world-organization.\n\nParticular attention is given to forms of eigenzeit-bound cognition that remain only partially compatible with modern institutional regimes organized around standardization, reversibility, administrative control, and simulation-based productivity.\n\nWithin this framework, neurodivergent forms of perception and cognition appear not merely as individual deviations, but potentially as contact zones in which suppressed conditions of emergence, irreversibility, and real world-formation become visible again.\n\nThe investigations draw upon long-term autoethnographic research conducted across labour systems, institutional conflicts, artistic practice, neurodivergent embodiment, and recursive theory production. The volume therefore deliberately operates within a boundary zone between personal experience, theoretical condensation, and structural analysis. Conflict, emotional intensity, institutional friction, overload, and\n\n3\n\ndestabilization are not treated merely as subjective disturbances external to knowledge production, but as part of the empirical field itself.\n\nAt the same time, the volume critiques an increasingly simulation-based organization of society in which reality becomes progressively managed through statistical models, algorithmic prediction, administrative abstraction, and functional controllability. The investigations propose that modern societies may thereby gradually lose the capacity to integrate real difference, open emergence, and forms of human existence that cannot be fully formatted into simulation-compatible structures. Contemporary conflicts surrounding neurodivergence, labour, psychological exhaustion, social fragmentation, institutional violence, and AI-driven governance therefore appear not as isolated crises, but as expressions of a deeper conflict between emergent world-formation and simulative stabilization.\n\nThe volume explicitly rejects both closed explanatory systems and universalizing claims.\n\nThe concepts developed here function instead as heuristic operatoric structures intended to render visible tensions that appear to be intensifying within modern societies. At the center of the investigations lies the question of what happens when societies increasingly organize their stability through simulation while simultaneously losing the open, irreversible, and embodied processes from which real world-binding emerges in the first place.",

      "abstract": "This volume develops a general theory of emergence based on the concepts of difference, Eigenzeit, world-binding, and non-closure. It constitutes the eighteenth volume of the Studies in World-Formation series and serves as a phase of theoretical consolidation within the broader Operatoric Research Corpus. While previous volumes introduced concepts such as Gap, Operator, Eigenzeit, World-Binding, Relational Agency, Value Threshold, Diversity Threshold, Representational Violence, and Ontological Coexistence across a wide range of domains, the present volume seeks to clarify their underlying relations and reconstruct the common structure from which they emerge.\n\nThe central thesis is that reality cannot be understood as a collection of already constituted objects, systems, or informational states. Instead, stable worlds emerge through irreversible processes of differentiation that never achieve complete closure. Every stabilization generates a residual difference between constituted world and lost openness. This difference appears as Gap, produces Eigenzeit, and continuously reorganizes the space of further emergence. World is therefore not a pre-given container within which cognition, communication, consciousness, society, or artificial intelligence operate. Rather, these phenomena emerge as local expressions of ongoing processes of world-binding.\n\nBuilding upon this framework, the volume develops a series of theoretical consequences for contemporary research. In autism research, concepts such as Theory of Mind, Predictive Processing, Monotropism, and the Double Empathy Problem are reinterpreted as partial descriptions of deeper relations between competing forms of world-binding. In consciousness studies, the volume questions whether consciousness itself constitutes a fundamental ontological category or whether experience should instead be understood as a consequence of irreversible world-binding. In artificial intelligence research, it challenges the widespread assumption that increasing complexity, information processing, or simulation necessarily generate world-capacity. The decisive question becomes not whether a system can process information, but whether it can form irreversible Eigenzeit. In social and political theory, power, value, disability, neurodivergence, and exclusion are reconsidered as conflicts over the legitimacy of different forms of world-binding.\n\n3\n\nThe volume further introduces and refines a set of concepts including overlap, glitch, morphogenetic pressure, negative topology, operator formation, and ontological irreversibility. These concepts provide a common vocabulary for describing how different Eigenzeiten stabilize, collide, partially translate, or generate novel forms. Across the five papers collected in this volume, emergence is reconstructed not as the appearance of order from chaos, nor as the realization of hidden structures, but as the continuous reorganization of possibility under conditions of non-neutralizable difference.\n\nThe overall argument proposes a shift from theories centered on representation, information, consciousness, communication, or function toward a general theory of worldformation. The volume argues that cognition, communication, consciousness, society, and artificial intelligence do not operate within a pre-given world. They emerge from irreversible processes of world-binding under conditions of persistent non-closure. Rather than asking how systems represent reality, the theory asks under what conditions reality becomes bindable in the first place. Difference is therefore not treated as a deviation from order. It becomes the condition under which order, emergence, experience, and reality itself become possible.",

      "abstract": "Volume 19 of the Studies in World-Formation series marks the transition from the theoretical elaboration of the Operatoric Research Corpus to the explicit formulation of World- Formation Research as a research programme and to its first systematic application to the problem of structural responsibility. Its point of departure is the assumption of a fundamental non-closure of world. Scientific, institutional, and social orders must stabilize differences in order to know, decide, and act. Yet every stabilization also produces exclusions and alters the conditions under which further reality, alternative perspectives, and future knowledge can emerge. World-Formation Research therefore investigates not only what becomes visible and determinable through knowledge, but also how successful closures transform the conditions of further knowing. This second movement is understood not as a subsequent ethics of scientific practice, but as a component of scientific rationality itself.\n\nThe volume develops an operatoric research approach linking non-closure, Seinsverschiebung, World-Binding, Eigenzeit, Negative Morphology, Counter- Position, and Provoked Empiricism. Provoked Empiricism designates a recursive form of inquiry in which an existing world-order is confronted, through a reasoned positing, with its own normative, epistemic, or institutional claims. Reactions, defensive responses, shifts of jurisdiction, non-intervention, and attempts at closure thereby become empirical material.\n\nThe purpose is not to manufacture conflict, but to make visible structures that remain difficult to observe precisely because their conditions and exclusions are stabilized as normality.\n\nThe second part applies this research logic to structural violence. The concept of structural violence made it possible to describe harms that cannot be reduced to a single act or an identifiable original perpetrator. Yet this achievement can itself produce a new epistemic blind spot: as violence becomes increasingly explained through structures, fragmented jurisdictions, institutional routines, and distributed decision-making power, concrete responsibility for its continuation can disappear. The volume describes this as the perpetrator gap and distinguishes between constitutive perpetratorlessness and produced perpetratorlessness, in which responsibility is dissolved again despite increasing knowledge and existing possibilities for intervention.\n\nFrom this analysis emerges the figure of the apparently legitimated inactive witness to structural violence with decision-making power: a person who possesses sufficient knowledge of serious harm, has relevant possibilities to investigate, limit, or interrupt it, and nevertheless allows institutional normality, role-bound conduct, or jurisdictional boundaries to prevail over intervention. Responsibility is therefore treated not as a static property but as something that can become concentrated over time through increasing knowledge, foreseeability, agency, and continued non-intervention. The decisive issue is not institutional inactivity as such, but the relational convergence of serious harm, available knowledge, decision-making power, possible alternatives, and actual response.\n\n3\n\nProvoked Empiricism forms the methodological bridge between both parts of the volume.\n\nBy documenting indications, opportunities for correction, institutional responses, and repeated attempts at closure, it produces a traceable history of changing epistemic conditions. A system that does not know of a harm is analytically different from one that has repeatedly been confronted with the same harm and nevertheless continues unchanged. The intervening witness does not produce perpetration; rather, the intervention alters the conditions under which responsibility can become visible, attributable, and reconstructable.\n\nVolume 19 thus brings methodology and responsibility analysis together within a single research movement. The first part formulates the programme; the second demonstrates how that programme can reopen a successful conceptual stabilization at the point where it begins to obscure its own consequences. The central question is therefore not only which world is stabilized through knowledge, but also what becomes invisible within that stabilization and under what conditions responsibility can re-emerge. Non-closure thereby appears as an epistemic, political, and human-rights condition: the requirement that established categories remain open to revision where they cease to carry the realities they were intended to make intelligible.",
