Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

The number 11 is interpreted as a structural operator that mediates transitions between bounded and unbounded cognitive orders. Numerical symbolism is presented not as a mere cultural artifact but as an ontological interface linking language, perception, and consciousness. Drawing on philosophy, theology, mythology, and esoteric traditions, the paper argues that 11 signifies a threshold beyond stabilized symbolic systems toward expanded perception and integrative cognition. This interpretation is situated within a metaphysical anthropology where vision is understood as a unified function of mind and heart. The work contributes to speculative philosophy of consciousness by proposing a non-reductive model grounded in symbolic and linguistic ontology.

Abstract

This paper develops a mythopoetic-philosophical interpretation of the number 11 as a structural operator of transition between bounded and unbounded cognitive orders. The author proposes that numerical symbolism is not merely a cultural artifact but an ontological interface between language, perception, and consciousness. Drawing on comparative references from philosophy, theology, mythology, and esoteric traditions, the study interprets 11 as a threshold number that signifies the crossing beyond stabilized symbolic systems toward states of expanded perception and integrative cognition. The paper situates this interpretation within a broader metaphysical anthropology in which vision is understood as a unified function of mind and heart rather than a separated sensory mechanism. The work contributes to speculative philosophy of consciousness by proposing a non-reductive model of perception grounded in symbolic and linguistic ontology. ________________________________________ В работе предлагается мифопоэтическая философская интерпретация числа 11 как структурного оператора перехода между ограниченными и неограниченными когнитивными режимами. Автор рассматривает числовую символику не только как культурный феномен, но как онтологический интерфейс между языком, восприятием и сознанием. На основе сравнительного анализа философских, теологических и мифологических традиций число 11 трактуется как пороговая структура, обозначающая выход за пределы устойчивых символических систем в область расширенного восприятия и интегративного мышления. Работа вписывается в контекст метафизической антропологии, в которой зрение понимается как единая функция ума и сердца. Предлагается неклассическая модель сознания в рамках спекулятивной философии.
