Towards a Structural Ontology of Becoming: Structural Closure and Blind Necessity as an Interpretive Framework

Key Points

The aim is to propose a structural ontological framework for key cosmological concepts.
Developed a conceptual framework for interpretation in cosmology
Introduced new concepts like structural closure and blind necessity
Focused on the philosophical implications rather than predictions
Reinterpreted cosmic expansion, dark matter, and physical constants within the new framework
Presented a view of the universe as a process of structural actualization
Contributed to the discourse in philosophy of physics and metaphysical cosmology

Abstract

This work proposes a structural ontological framework for reinterpreting key concepts in cosmology, including cosmic expansion, dark matter, physical constants, time, and space. It introduces the concepts of structural closure, structural stability, and blind necessity to describe the universe as a progressive process of structural actualization. The study is conceptual rather than predictive and is intended as a contribution to philosophy of physics and metaphysical cosmology.
