How Is Stable Existence Possible? From Difference to Stable Structures: A Generative Ontology

Traditional ontology begins with already constituted entities and treats stable existence itself as a given premise. This paper reformulates the central question as: How is stable existence possible? Through necessary-condition analysis and reductio-style argumentation, the paper identifies three irreducible minimal structural constraints—the distinguishability constraint, the asymmetric differentiation constraint, and the persistence constraint—which together constitute the minimal conditions required for the generation of stable existence. On this basis, the paper derives a generative chain of ontological dependence: Here denotes the pre-structural field of difference, not a stage within the generative chain. Objects, space, time, and causality are formed through stable relations and their unfolding, while structural subjectivity is further generated through the reflexivity of the generative structure. No finite stable structure can achieve complete closure of its own generative conditions; when the difference remainder exceeds the absorptive range of existing conditions, their reconfiguration becomes necessary, thereby keeping the generative process open. is not an entity, but the pre-structural condition upon which finite stable structures depend.
