Being

The Core of the Dimensional Emergence Framework begins with a single ontological primitive: Being.

Being is not a physical entity, a field, or a space.
It denotes the absence of distinction.

Definition

Being (B) is defined as an undifferentiated ground state in which no internal distinctions are present.

Accordingly, Being admits:

• no internal structure,
• no relations,
• no dynamics,
• no dimensionality.

It is not “one” in a numerical sense, but undivided.

---

Formal characterization

Being may be represented symbolically as an empty relational state:

$$B := \{\}$$

or, equivalently, as the absence of internal relations:

$$\forall r \in \mathcal{R}(B): \; r \equiv \emptyset$$

These expressions are not set-theoretic claims.
They serve as formal notations of non-relationality.

Absence of time and change

Within Being:

• no temporal ordering exists,
• no before or after can be defined,
• no persistence or transition is meaningful.

Time is not suppressed or ignored; it is not yet applicable.

---

Stability and insufficiency

Being is internally stable in the trivial sense that no contradictions can arise within it.

However, Being is structurally insufficient:

It cannot:

• host relations,
• support distinctions,
• or permit any form of description or observation.

As such, Being alone cannot constitute a regime of reality.

---

Necessity of differentiation

For any describable or stable regime to exist, distinction must emerge.

This necessity is not empirical, but logical:

A reality without distinction cannot be structured, related, or stabilized.

The emergence of distinction therefore marks the minimal departure from Being required for dimensionality to unfold.

This motivates the first differentiation introduced in the next section.
