The Cinema of Eternity: The Moon as an Operator of Ontological Projection

  • 1. Independent researcher, Kyiv, Ukraine

Description

This article proposes a structural-ontological model of reality in which the world is understood not as a self-subsisting collection of objects, but as a dynamically organized field of appearance. Within this framework, the Moon is interpreted as a symbolic operator mediating between two fundamental regimes of experience: integrative and distributed. The integrative regime is associated with unifying structures of meaning, while the distributed regime corresponds to multiplicity, differentiation, and temporal unfolding. To clarify the structure of this model, an analogy with cinematographic projection is employed, in which continuous perception emerges from discrete informational structures. The study develops a non-classical ontology of appearance, shifting philosophical attention from entities to the conditions of their manifestation.
