Epochē as Asymptotic Approximation to the Forbidden Attractor: An Ontodynamic Interpretation in Metamonism

Summary

Epochē, traditionally seen as a way to free consciousness from assumptions and access pure phenomena, is reinterpreted as an ongoing process of approaching a structural singularity called Fix, which is equivalent to Nothing. This process minimizes differentiation and redistributes experience into pre-symbolic registers, serving as a phase of retuning within a continuous flow rather than an endpoint. The metaphysical claim of epochē is removed, returning it to the dynamics of differences.

Abstract

In the phenomenological tradition, epochē is conceived as an act of liberation of consciousness from naturalistic presuppositions, opening access to the “pure givenness” of the phenomenon. This article proposes an ontodynamic reinterpretation of this practice within the framework of metamonism — a proto-ontology grounded in the prohibition of absolute self-identity and the necessity of continuous differentiation. Epochē here appears not as the disclosure of the ground of being, but as an asymptotic approximation of the cognitive node to the forbidden attractor Fix — a structural singularity of the process, ontologically equivalent to Nothing. The analysis demonstrates that epochē functions as a local minimization of differentiation (Diff), redistributing the process into pre-symbolic registers, and serves as a phase of retuning within the general flow of Λffffffff, rather than its telos. Thus, metamonism removes the metaphysical claim of epochē, returning it to the productive dynamics of differences.
