PATTERSON ONTOLOGICAL INFORMATION FRAMEWORK AND THE MODAL DISCIPLINE OF THE THEORY OF OBJECTIVITY: a critical–propositional analysis of quantum–cosmological informational emergence in confrontation with the axioms, phenomenic elements, Inducer Effects, cosmogonic theorem, and cosmological Eras of TO

Key Points

The analysis explores the interplay between Patterson's Ontological Framework and the Theory of Objectivity, focusing on concepts like emergence and informational ontology.
Conducted a critical-propositional analysis of Patterson's framework in relation to the Theory of Objectivity.
Examined notions of emergence, consciousness, infinity, and the role of information in quantum interactions.
Patterson's framework aligns well with the Theory of Objectivity, challenging the notion of absolute nothingness.
Identified a need for a stricter modal hierarchy to better differentiate key components such as axioms and empirical protocols.

Abstract

This article presents a critical–propositional analysis of Reginald Patterson’s The Patterson Ontological Information Framework: A Unified Theory of Quantum-Cosmological Emergence (Zenodo, 2025, DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16645441) in dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity, developed by Vidamor Cabannas and Denivaldo Silva. The analysis examines the possible compatibilities and tensions between Patterson’s informational ontology and the modal axioms of the Theory of Objectivity, especially regarding the impossibility of absolute nothingness, the role of infinity, the necessity of boundaries between distinct elements, the emergence of spacetime, the status of consciousness, and the requirement of a transcendent substance beyond the quantum. Special attention is given to the TO thesis that the transcendent element is knowledge or information produced in atomic relations and equivalent to atomic radiations. The article also discusses Patterson’s concepts of Universe₀, Universe₁, Virtual Information Singularities, the Zero Principle, the Box Principle, the Spacetime Expansion Principle, the Black Hole Recoherence Principle, the Life Network Hypothesis, and Consciousness Complexity Tiers in confrontation with the phenomenic elements, Inducer Effects, cosmogonic theorem, and cosmological Eras of the Theory of Objectivity. The study concludes that Patterson’s framework offers a strong and promising dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity, especially in its rejection of absolute nothingness, its informational reading of cosmic emergence, and its search for testability. However, it also argues that POIF requires a stricter modal hierarchy in order to distinguish axioms, hypotheses, analogies, and empirical protocols.
