Abstract

MINST – Minimalist StructuralismAn ontologically minimal, empirically consistent framework1. Starting point and goal. The goal of minimalist structuralism (MINST) is to formulate an ontological minimum that: is consistent with the entire empirical practice of modern physics, does not introduce uncompelled concepts (such as observer, consciousness, or measurement as fundamental entities), and is capable of deriving the concepts that science traditionally regards as fundamental. MINST does not deny the functioning of science; rather, it traces its concepts back to structural foundations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Relationship between MINST and TOE MINST and TOE are related but distinct conceptual research frameworks. MINST explores the minimal structural assumptions required for an ontological interpretation of physical reality, while TOE investigates a possible mathematical and dynamical description based on a universal field and spectral stability. The two approaches share an interest in emergent structures and the reduction of unnecessary fundamental assumptions. However, no rigorous mathematical derivation connecting the two frameworks has yet been established. Neither framework should be regarded as experimental confirmation or mathematical proof of the other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (TOE) - Theory of Everything — A Conceptual Framework for a Unified Field and Spectral Stability This work presents an exploratory theoretical framework for a possible unified description of physical reality based on a single underlying field, denoted by Φ.
