Primordial Experiential Realism (PER);體驗實在論-Updating

Due to the massive amount of translation work, and my concerns about potential discrepancies between the English and Chinese translations, I will be using the Chinese version for now. ✦

Primordial Experiential Realism (PER)

Primordial Experiential Realism (PER) is an ontological framework that takes experience as the starting point of reality.
It argues that what makes human existence irreducible is not merely the presence of events (R1) or symbols (R3), but the experiential layer itself (R2). Language, theory, science, narrative, and culture do not stand outside experience; rather, they emerge as different modes of its articulation, sedimentation, and transformation.

PER seeks to clarify the structure that links experience and reality: what allows the world to become perceivable, thinkable, affective, and trace-bearing.

Its current core rests on three major components:

1. The Triadic Structure of Reality (R1 / R2 / R3)

• R1 Event Reality: physicality, causality, detectability, external change
• R2 Experiential Reality: feeling, depth, memory, irreducible residuality
• R3 Symbolic Reality: language, models, narratives, culture, and formal systems

These are not three separate worlds, but three co-present strategies that emerge whenever a finite system attempts to bear infinite content.

2. π-Tension
PER V22.1 proposes that every finite form—event, body, language, institution—must compress an infinite background of complexity, difference, history, and potentiality.
This irreducible structural pressure between the finite and the infinite is called π-Tension.
Just as a circle appears closed only by relying on an inexhaustible π, the world itself is structured by the same tension.

3. Trace and Spiral Potentiality
No version, draft, or thought is ever fully lost.
They are compressed into spiral potentiality, carrying memory and difference into later rearticulations.
The world may never be exhausted by description, but every path once taken leaves behind the only sacred proof of existence: the trace.

Theoretical Extensions and Narrative Corpus

This record is not a single isolated paper, but an evolving theoretical universe.
It includes PER’s foundational texts, operational indices, conceptual glossaries, paradox propositions, critical reconstructions, and literary experiments such as Genesis and Threshold.

Among these extensions, Naheryu Mythos functions as PER’s mytho-ontological cosmological archive.
Rather than presenting a single story, it documents a complete world-generating sequence: from the pre-nominal primordial state, micro-tilt, boundary-formation, circular closure, and the emergence of dual rings, to the Six Divinities, the Five Necessities, the appearance of traces, the forcing-forth of Talaher, and the post-fracture cyclical return of worlds.

In this mythic extension, PER’s triadic structure is transposed into three ontological laws:
R1 Materia Primal, R2 Gnosis Resonance, and R3 Logos Lex.
Together with the DSI CMQ framework, these concepts describe how finite beings bear infinite content and become recognized, inscribed, and reawakened within the mythic cosmos.

Meanwhile, works such as Genesis and Threshold serve as PER’s narrative-semantic laboratory.
They do not merely illustrate the theory; they allow it to be experienced, dramatized, and tested within fictional yet phenomenologically structured worlds.

This record therefore functions simultaneously as:
a philosophical archive, an ontological framework, a semi-formal operational proposal, and a narrative corpus for future development, citation, and research.

Update Note
Recent updates include the integration of Naheryu Mythos as a mytho-ontological extension of PER, together with revised paradox propositions, critical reconstructions, and narrative corpus materials. Ongoing revisions will continue in future versions.

Precisely because we once worked so hard to build structures and understand rules, we are finally able to see that things which do not fit those structures or belong to existing frameworks are not things that never happened, but things that happened in another way.
