Vedanta 2.0: A Symbolic-Structural Interpretive Grammar for Existential and Experiential Inquiry — Paper 1 Final — Framework + Methodological Architecture — v1.6 Consolidated

Abstract

Abstract: Vedanta 2.0 does not present itself as a final truth-claim or a decisive ontological description of reality. It is a proposed symbolic interpretive language for structurally organizing existential and experiential questions. Central sutra: 0→9→0 is not a scientific equation; it is a grammar for reading existence. This Paper 1 final consolidates v1.0→v1.6 development: Vocabulary: 0 Mula-sambhavana / undifferentiated possibility to 9 Paripakvata / integrated maturity, plus 9→0 reflexive return (punah bodh). Formal Grammar: → conceptual transition, ⊕ structural combination, ⇒ emergent generative relation. Two principles: Mapping Principle — number-meaning relation is proposed, not natural, yet not arbitrary (judged by coherence, usefulness, comparative capacity); Recursive Meaning Principle — same symbol can take different functional roles — primary differentiation vs recursive/reflexive distinction — resolving weakness of 5⊕2⇒7. Transition Rationale Table for each transition 0→1 to 9→0 (rationale, not proof). Two disciplined generative relations retained after pruning: 2⊕3⇒5 (differentiation + relational mediation ⇒ manifest field) and 5⊕2⇒7 (manifest field + recursive distinction ⇒ self-organized responsiveness), evaluated via Relation Justification Protocol (conceptual rationale, non-reducibility, explanatory gain, comparative alternatives). Limits & Failure Criteria: Not designed for precise prediction, quantitative measurement, causal explanation. Key criterion: Interpretive ambiguity beyond resolution — where multiple equally plausible mappings arise without grounds to choose, discriminating power is low. Future Research Program: 7 tests — Internal Coherence, Case Application, Resistance Test, Comparative Test (narrative vs systems theory vs process philosophy vs Vedanta 2.0), Null Test (before/after framework), Inter-Interpreter Test (A=6, B=7, C=8 problem), Negative Case. Originality claim: Not that concepts like difference, relation, structure are historically new, but that organizing them into finite, ordered, recursive symbolic grammar and testing whether it produces useful structural distinctions across heterogeneous domains is proposed contribution.
