Domain of Being

What if to be real is simply to be represented?

Domain of Being develops a systematic metaphysical framework in which existence is understood in explicitly representational terms. Rather than taking matter, mind, or logic as primitive kinds of "stuff", it treats representation itself, and the awareness in which representation occurs, as the basic explanatory level. Patterns and abstractions function as formal structures, while realness is identified with their realized demonstration within a contextual instance of representation.

Within this framework, reality is construed along eternalist lines: the totality of representations is fixed and unchanging, and what we ordinarily describe as change, process, and emergence is reinterpreted as perspectival structure internal to that totality. Physical phenomena, mental events, and logical relations are recast as modes of representational organization rather than as independent ontological domains. The result is a form of idealist monism: a nondual ontology in which objective and subjective descriptions are understood as different articulations of one underlying representational field.

Domain of Being does not purport to derive its conclusions from neutral, indisputable first principles. It instead sets out a clear set of definitions and metaphysical commitments concerning representation, awareness, and temporal structure, and then investigates what follows if those commitments are taken seriously. The work is written for readers comfortable with abstraction who are interested in a rigorous, internally coherent model of reality that is compatible with eternalist readings of contemporary physics and converges, at its limit, with nondual realization, understood as the recognition of the fundamental unity of awareness and its contents.
