Commitment levels

Minimal

Engaging this concept at the minimal level requires only acknowledging that the phenomenon it names is real and requires explanation. No specific structural claims are presupposed.

Structural

The structural level introduces the formal apparatus associated with the concept and commits to the relationships between it and other core concepts. The full foundational ontology is not required.

Full

Full commitment involves the concept's role in the complete systematic account, including its derivation from Freedom and its cross-domain applications.


Role in the system

This concept functions as a Formal apparatus. Formal apparatus concepts provide the mathematical and logical structure through which the system's claims are made precise. They presuppose the foundational concepts and make the cross-domain arguments tractable.
