THE LIMINAL FIELD: Existence

ABSTRACT (EN) Existence defines life as a program oriented toward a single goal: self‑recognition. Every entity, carrying an informational matrix encoded within its DNA, naturally tends to realize what is possible rather than the absurd. The text describes existence as the gradual unfolding of compressed reality, guided by vertical time and structured through degrees of conception. Being evolves through successive stages, each serving as a springboard for the next, culminating in the fusion of self, consciousness, soul, and spirit. SHORT DESCRIPTION (EN) A philosophical exploration of existence as an informational program aimed at self‑recognition. The work presents life as the unfolding of a compressed matrix through vertical time, where each stage of realization becomes the foundation for the next in a continuous process of becoming. OPENAIRE DESCRIPTION (EN) Existence investigates the informational structure underlying all forms of life, proposing that every entity carries within itself a matrix oriented toward the same ultimate goal: self‑recognition. The text describes this matrix as scalable and functional, allowing each being to realize what is possible within its own capacity of conception. Reality unfolds progressively through vertical time, not as a linear sequence but as a synthesis of immediacy and futurity. The work contributes to The Liminal Field by defining existence as a dynamic process of informational realization, where consciousness, soul, and spirit emerge through successive degrees of learning and fusion. EXTENDED DESCRIPTION (EN) Extended Description — Existence This work presents existence as a program inscribed within the informational matrix of all things. The purpose of this program is universal and immutable: the self‑recognition of being. Each entity carries within its DNA a structural imprint that guides its progression toward this goal. The matrix is scalable, ensuring that realization occurs not through the pursuit of the impossible but through the unfolding of what is possible within each stage of conception. The text describes existence as a gradual synthesis, where each achieved stage becomes the foundation for the next. The process is not governed by linear time but by vertical time, which functions as the constant of orientation and navigation toward the ultimate goal. Reality unfolds from compression to manifestation, following the rhythm of informational progression. The journey of being is experiential and epistemic: learning occurs through successive degrees of conception, each relative to the observer. The progression appears as the evolution of identity — from I to consciousness, from consciousness to soul, and from soul to fusion, understood as the transfiguration that generates the spirit of who one is. In this sense, existence is not a static condition but a living program of realization, where the informational matrix continually re‑writes itself through the act of recognition.
