From Pleasure to Immortality: Categorical Transcendence of Hedonism as an Ontological Theory of Everything

This work proposes a formalized ontological model for overcoming the fundamental contradiction of hedonism through categorical transcendence. The pursuit of pleasure is treated as an incomplete ontological category C1, whose instability generates transcendence functors Fn : Cn → Cn+1 and a sequence of categories C1 → C2 → · · · → C5. The central operator CMI (Conflict-Moment-Impulse) formalizes the mechanism of transition between levels, while the bee archetype serves as an empirical-psychological anchor for the triad “labor-meaning-pleasure.” The model integrates elements of motivational neurobiology, dynamical systems theory (attractors), and category theory, proposing testable predictions about the structure of long-term well-being. Key generalization: hedonism is fixation on the generic field (Gbio), while eudaimonism is transcendence to the species field (Gcog). This work completes a trilogy of neologic formulations and advances a practical algorithm of categorical ascent applicable to therapy and cultural policy
