The Complete Specification of Intent: Three Axes, Twelve Cells, and the Deductive Chain to a Self-Knowing Ground
A synthesis companion to Triadic Meta-Ontological Realism: From Invariant to Trinity. Presents the complete specification of Intent (the second factor of R = P × I × Pr ≠ 0) in a single arc: definition (directed selection), corruption chain (Brentano → Chisholm → Searle → Dennett → folk usage), empirical confirmation (Levin, Hartl, Buckley — CellPress, Nature, Wiley), three orthogonal axes (level: I₀/I₁/I₂; mode: I꜀/Iᵦ; aspect: Iα/Iω), the 3 × 2 × 2 specification grid yielding twelve structurally distinguishable cells, and the full deductive chain from P > 0 and Pr > 0 to a self-knowing ground — run for the first time with all three axes specified at every step. P delivers Iα, Pr delivers Iω, each candidate ground is eliminated at a specific coordinate, and the Self-Knowledge Theorem closes at the fixed point via the Distinguishability Lemma. No inference to best explanation remains. Six independent closure layers, the Self-Consuming Objection, and the Evasion Diagnostic complete the closure architecture.
