The Macro-Ontology of Power in Complex Systems: Part II. From Substance to the α-Substrate

Abstract This study constitutes the second part of a macro-ontological investigation of power, aimed at conceptualizing its diachronic genesis, which remained beyond the scope of the preceding synchronic analysis. The article resolves the problem of the "primordial givenness" of the material base by deconstructing the mechanics of the transition of neutral matter into the state of a generative α-substrate. It introduces the macro-ontological concept of the "primordial rupture"—an extra-systemic act of the topological capture of space that enables the differentiation of the locus of technogenic constituent power (Level ε). The study substantiates the ontogenesis of the Normative order (Level β) as an epistemic inversion for the retrospective naturalization of this rupture; it argues that through institutional emancipation, the Normative order undergoes dialectical alienation and becomes objectified as an external barrier, achieving operational autonomy while retaining foundational substrate dependence. The formulated ontology of the primordial rupture captures the regularity of substrate determination: macro-historical transitions are conditioned by the topological capture of new ontological dimensions of matter, triggering a structural reformatting or vertical substrate accumulation of preceding architectonic paradigms while neutralizing their normative contours. Finally, the boundaries of the macro-ontological isolation of power are delineated as determined by infrastructural entropy under conditions of α-substrate exhaustion.
