TEMPORAL ONTOLOGY

Constitutive Power, Organisation, and Tensional Equilibrium

Volume I of The Temporal Theory of Truth

What if time is not merely a passive dimension through which reality moves, but the constitutive force that organizes existence itself?

Temporal Ontology presents a new interdisciplinary framework that rethinks the nature of time, organization, continuity, and truth. Challenging both classical metaphysics and purely mechanistic models of reality, the book argues that time is not simply a measure of change, but an immanent generative power underlying matter, life, consciousness, and social organization.

At the center of the framework stand three foundational concepts:

⢠Dynamochronos - Immanent Temporal Power

⢠Chronotopos - Temporal-Spatial Organization Field

⢠Chronosymmetria - Dynamic Tensional Equilibrium

Together, these concepts form a new ontological architecture designed to explain how systems emerge, stabilize, sustain continuity, and transform across multiple scales of reality.

The book develops a theory in which:

  • organization precedes static substance,
  • persistence matters more than isolated emergence,
  • truth is understood as dynamically sustained equilibrium,
  • temporal continuity becomes the foundation of ontology itself.

Drawing from philosophy of science, complexity theory, systems thinking, cosmology, biology, and theories of self-organization, Temporal Ontology proposes a unified conceptual structure connecting matter, life, cognition, society, and ethics within a temporal framework.

Rather than treating reality as composed of fixed entities moving through empty time, the book approaches existence as layered temporal organization sustained through tension-bearing continuity.

The work explores:

  • temporal organization and emergence,
  • nonequilibrium systems,
  • persistence and structural continuity,
  • temporal pressure and coordination,
  • organization across physical and biological systems,
  • the relationship between time, truth, and ontology.

Temporal Ontology is the foundational volume of The Temporal Theory of Truth series and establishes the ontological engine for the broader framework developed in subsequent volumes on life, consciousness, society, and ethics.

This book is intended for readers interested in:

  • philosophy of time,
  • metaphysics,
  • systems theory,
  • complexity science,
  • consciousness studies,
  • philosophy of science,
  • interdisciplinary ontology.
