The Reality Spark: An Ontological Investigation of Actualization, Duration, and Ontological Bearing

This record presents an English work-anchor for The Reality Spark. It brings together an English extended abstract, a translated table of contents of the German manuscript, and a supplementary FAQ document. Reality is not simply given. It begins where effects can no longer be fully taken back without remainder. The study identifies the minimal ontological conditions under which reality becomes actual, remains temporally distinguishable, and gains ontological bearing. The term ontological bearing is used here as the technical rendering of the German Tragfähigkeit. It does not refer to mechanical bearing, spatial orientation, or mere relevance, but to the capacity of a reality-trace to hold and respond under changed conditions without collapsing into mere functionality, exchangeability, or total availability. The three conditions are actualization, duration, and ontological bearing. Actualization names the irreversible transition from possibility into validity; duration names the structural capacity to preserve distinguishability across succession; and ontological bearing names the condition under which reality remains capable of response while preserving difference. The project does not present a closed natural theory, a theory of everything, a proof of God, or a theory of consciousness. It understands itself as a model-based form of testing and conversation between physics, philosophy, and theology. Its formal structures do not derive empirical laws of nature, but serve to test ontological consistency, structural compatibility, and conceptual stability. The translated table of contents offers an English structural overview of the current German manuscript. It does not present a full English manuscript. The supplementary FAQ offers orientation on the guiding question, the three conditions, the threefold disciplinary structure, the relevant resonance figures, and the distinctions from a proof of God, a theory of consciousness, and machine ethics.
