Interpretation Boundary
The Core of the Dimensional Emergence Framework establishes structural foundations only.
This section clarifies how the Core is to be interpreted, and where its claims explicitly end.
Structural scope
Section titled “Structural scope”All concepts introduced in the Core are:
- ontological or structural in nature,
- independent of empirical measurement,
- and invariant under specific physical realizations.
The Core defines what must be structurally available for reality to unfold, not how it unfolds in any particular instance.
Non-metric character
Section titled “Non-metric character”Unless explicitly introduced in later sections, the Core does not assume:
- spatial metrics,
- temporal measures,
- probabilities,
- or numerical constants.
Dimensionality in the Core refers to operative distinction, not to geometric extension.
Absence of physical claims
Section titled “Absence of physical claims”The Core does not assert:
- equations of motion,
- conservation laws,
- causal mechanisms,
- or empirically testable predictions.
Such claims arise only when Core structures are embedded into specific physical regimes, addressed in Physics & Math.
Relation to mathematics
Section titled “Relation to mathematics”Formal expressions in the Core:
- denote structural relations,
- introduce consistency constraints,
- and prepare mathematical formalization.
They are not proofs, derivations, or complete formal systems.
Mathematical rigor is developed only where required and only after the structural framework is complete.
Relation to phenomenology and cognition
Section titled “Relation to phenomenology and cognition”The Core does not address:
- perception,
- experience,
- consciousness,
- meaning or interpretation.
These domains require additional operative distinctions and are treated as extensions, not foundations.
Interpretative discipline
Section titled “Interpretative discipline”Misinterpretations typically arise when Core concepts are:
- treated as physical entities,
- read as empirical claims,
- or mapped prematurely onto specific theories.
The Core must therefore be read as a structural precondition, not as a descriptive theory of the observable world.
Stability of the Core
Section titled “Stability of the Core”The definitions introduced in the Core are intended to remain valid even if:
- specific physical models are revised,
- mathematical formalisms change,
- or domain interpretations evolve.
Later sections may extend, refine, or apply the Core, but they do not replace its primitives.
This section marks the interpretative boundary of the Core and completes its role as the conceptual and formal baseline of the Dimensional Emergence Framework.
