Key points Proposes that a single ontological primitive, the fixed point O(O)=O, yields twelve formal theorems, including a Unity Theorem grounded in Banach's Fixed-Point Theorem, a Quantum Measurement Theorem offered as an ontological resolution of the von Neumann chain, and an Orientational Meaning Theorem deriving linguistic meaning from the orientational act. The author also claims cross-disciplinary confirmation across twelve independent domains and offers six falsifiable predictions.

Abstract

Presents the Theory of Absolute Self-Origination (ASO), deriving twelve formal theorems from a single ontological primitive — the fixed point O(O)=O. Contributions beyond the first formulation include: a rigorous derivation of the Unity Theorem grounded in Banach's Fixed-Point Theorem; the Quantum Measurement Theorem providing an ontological resolution of the von Neumann chain; and the Orientational Meaning Theorem deriving linguistic meaning from the orientational act. Cross-disciplinary confirmation across twelve independent domains; six falsifiable predictions.
