From technique in the environment to the energy of play: Wittgenstein's language games as an epiphenomenon of Simondon's transduction

This article performs a philosophical synthesis, placing Ludwig Wittgenstein's later teachings on language within a fundamental ontological dimension revealed by Gilbert Simondon. The aim of the research is to demonstrate that key concepts of Wittgenstein, such as "language game" and "form of life," acquire systemic depth and completeness when interpreted through the lens of the process of individuation and transduction. The author argues that Wittgenstein's linguistic analysis can be understood as a description of a specific psychosocial mode of universal becoming, where communicative practices do not represent an autonomous technosocial reality but a higher epiphenomenon of the game of metastable energies of being. As a result, the rules of the "language game" emerge not as arbitrary social conventions but as an immanent transductive logic of self-organization of this energy field, crystallizing in the process of achieving metastable equilibrium. The methodological foundation of the work is a synthesis of comparative and hermeneutic approaches aimed at uncovering deep structural resonances in the philosophies of Wittgenstein and Simondon. Conceptual reconstruction is applied to explicate the internal logic of central concepts, such as "form of life" and "individuation," followed by their translation into a common terminological field of procedural ontology. Genetic analysis allows tracing the emergence of ideas within the context of the intellectual traditions of late analytical philosophy and French post-Hegelian thought, revealing common roots in the critique of the Cartesian subject and substantialism. Problem-oriented comparison focuses on key nodes of synthesis, including the nature of rules, the mechanism of the emergence of novelty, and the status of collective practices, while the method of philosophical interpretation ensures an authentic reading of the texts, avoiding the reduction of one system to another. The novelty of the work lies in a radical ontological reading of Wittgenstein's pragmatics, which overcomes the gap between analytic philosophy of language and continental ontology of process. Within the article, the following tasks are systematically addressed: reconstruction of the anti-essentialist core of Wittgenstein’s philosophy, explication of the ontological foundations of the Simondonian concept of "transduction," synthesis presenting the "language game" as an act of collective individuation, and deriving implications for issues of intercultural communication, truth, and philosophical method. The result is the construction of a holistic procedural model in which meaning arises in the act of immanent transduction of pre-individual tensions of the "form of life."
