The Reality Spark

This extended abstract presents the core conceptual framework of the larger manuscript “The Reality Spark”. It investigates the minimal ontological conditions under which reality can be said to arise at all: actualization, duration, and ontological bearing. The text is situated at the boundary between ontology, philosophy of physics, and philosophy of technology, and argues that reality is not simply given, but begins where effects can no longer be fully taken back without remainder. The present version is a revised and sharpened formulation of the extended abstract. It clarifies the conceptual framing, refines key terminology, and improves the overall presentation, while leaving the core thesis of the project unchanged. Version 2: revised, terminologically refined, conceptually sharpened. Core argument unchanged.
