This article is devoted to the study of the productive convergence of two key projects for posthumanist thought: the procedural ontology of Gilbert Simondon and the agentic realism of Karen Barad. Barad's theory emerges not only as an immediate continuation but also as a radical transformation of the Simondonian project, translating it from a metaphysical plane into an epistemologically and ethically charged field of practices. It is demonstrated that the metaphysical framework of the process of individuation, developed by Simondon in contrast to the substantial tradition, finds its development and operationalization in Barad's conceptual apparatus. While Simondon offers an ontology of becoming, originating from the pre-individual field of potentials and tensions, Barad develops a rigorous epistemological and ethical toolkit for this ontology by introducing the concepts of intra-action, agential cutting, and nonhuman agency, which allows for the translation of abstract philosophical propositions into the realm of specific practices. The methodological approach of the research is based on the sequential application of complementary methods: from Simondon's procedural ontology, which unveils the metaphysics of becoming in technical being through continuous individuation, to Barad's framework of intra-action, which operationalizes this process through the concept of the mutual constitution of actors within the "phenomenon-apparatus." Such a synthesis not only theoretically describes the mechanisms of techno-social individuation in computational environments but also offers practical frameworks for analyzing how material-discursive practices transform the very fabric of experience, creating new modes of governance that operate not through direct coercion but through the reconfiguration of the conditions of possibility for action itself. The relevance of this study is determined by the growing interest in non-classical ontologies that transcend the boundaries of correlationalism and anthropocentrism. The novelty of the work lies in the systematic comparison of the concepts of Simondon and Barad, revealing not only their thematic closeness but also their relationship of mutual supplementation and continuity. Such an analysis allows for tracing the connection between these authors while laying the groundwork for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophy, science, and art. In particular, Barad proposes a methodology for working with Simondon's "pre-individual," based on an ethics of responsibility that arises from the recognition of human co-participation in the continuous reconfiguration of the world. This synthesis opens new perspectives for contemporary thought in the field of new materialisms and beyond.
