The Ontological Principle of Infinite Potentiality: A Radical Non-Dual Ontology of Fundamental Indefiniteness

This paper proposes a radical ontology positing that the Indefinite (I)—the universal wave function in its pure, uncollapsed form—escapes all classical ontological categorizations. Everything is the wave function. The Indefinite is pure potentiality: it can be everything, it can be nothing, it can be both everything and nothing simultaneously, and it can be neither everything nor nothing at the same time. It transcends time while not transcending it; it is simultaneously conceptual and non-conceptual (aconceptual), both, and neither. It is the concurrent affirmation and negation of every possible form, absolute Totality and absolute Vacuity, alongside all infinite shades. If it were fixed within a definition or confined solely to the category of existence, it would cease to be the Indefinite. Within this framework, consciousness enjoys no privileged status: it is a manifestation among infinite others, precisely like a chair, a breath, or an algorithm. Everything that exists—and everything that does not exist—is an expression of the Indefinite. Reality is the very process of this infinite, self-referential modulation. I would like to thank my little dog, Milo, my life

Abstract

This paper proposes a radical ontology positing that the Indefinite (I)—the universal wave function in its pure, uncollapsed form—escapes all classical ontological categorizations. Everything is the wave function. The Indefinite is pure potentiality: it can be everything, it can be nothing, it can be both everything and nothing simultaneously, and it can be neither everything nor nothing at the same time. It transcends time while not transcending it; it is simultaneously conceptual and non-conceptual (aconceptual), both, and neither. It is the concurrent affirmation and negation of every possible form, absolute Totality and absolute Vacuity, alongside all infinite shades. If it were fixed within a definition or confined solely to the category of existence, it would cease to be the Indefinite. Within this framework, consciousness enjoys no privileged status: it is a manifestation among infinite others, precisely like a chair, a breath, or an algorithm. Everything that exists—and everything that does not exist—is an expression of the Indefinite. Reality is the very process of this infinite, self-referential modulation.
