Minimal Ontological Foundation for World-Formation An Eliminative Ontology of Non-Eliminable Structural Constraint (MOF v6)

This paper is the ontological foundation of a theoretical program whose companion works develop finite-closure, physical-readout, structural-constant, geometric-readout, and cosmological applications. Main program references / Concept DOIs: - MOF — Minimal Ontological Foundation: 10.5281/zenodo.18008764 - FDC — Finite Distinguishability Closure: 10.5281/zenodo.18926335 - PFC — Phase-Flow Coherence: 10.5281/zenodo.17797652 - SCR — Structural Constant Readouts: 10.5281/zenodo.20069325 - PCR — Pi as a Non-Geometric Closure Readout: 10.5281/zenodo.20362057 - AOH — Angle-Only / Hubble-scale application layer: 10.5281/zenodo.20094155 Companion works report non-fitted structural readouts near several well-known dimensionless physical or structural quantities, including: - inverse fine-structure constant: FDC/SCR readout near α⁻¹ ≈ 137.035999,- proton/electron mass ratio: near 1836.152673,- muon/electron mass ratio: near 206.768283,- tau/electron mass ratio: near 3477.23,- Pi as a non-geometric closure readout: PCR Concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20362057,- MOND-type galactic scaling: v⁴ = G M a₀,- Hubble-scale and environmental residual structures. MOF itself does not compute these quantities directly. Its purpose is to provide the eliminative ontological foundation for the formal closure framework FDC, from which the later numerical, physical, geometric, and cosmological readout layers are constructed. The paper treats existence not as constructive generation from nothing, but as the minimal structural residue that survives the exclusion of non-admissible descriptions. From this starting point, it develops distinction-structure, finite resolution, internal update order, measurement, probability, and global/internal description as unavoidable structural residues of world-formation. Within the broader MOF–FDC–PFC–SCR–PCR–AOH/ARG program: - MOF provides the eliminative ontological foundation.- FDC provides the formal finite-distinguishability closure framework.- PFC provides the physical reading layer.- SCR records structural constant readouts.- PCR clarifies Pi as an FDC-forced / ECAP-readout closure constant rather than a primitive spatial-circle input.- AOH/ARG applies the same grammar to Hubble-scale, galactic-scale, and angle-only gravitational phenomena. Readers interested in numerical and formal consequences may begin with FDC or SCR and then return to MOF as the foundational layer. Readers interested in the role of Pi, geometry, and distance as downstream readouts may begin with PCR. Readers interested in cosmological or galactic applications may begin with AOH/ARG. Readers interested in quantum foundations may begin with PFC. This paper should be read as the foundational layer of the program, not as a standalone numerical fitting paper. Its role is to explain why finite distinguishability, non-privileged representation, finite resolution, internal update order, and global/internal mismatch are not optional assumptions but residual conditions for any admissible world-description.
