Selective Reality Theory (SRT): Selection Realism and the Constitutive Explanation of Determinacy

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) June 18, 2026 Zhang Yuxin

Selective Reality Theory (SRT) argues that the world is not fundamentally composed of determinate objects, subjects, and orders. Instead, object-style determinacy—boundary, identity, and practical stability—arises from constrained selection within a pre-object field. Selection is not an agent's choice but an earlier structure that differentially actualizes appearances through exclusion and anchoring; repeated anchoring builds reality-thickness, which then recedes into background order. The theory introduces a three-layer vocabulary: sub-determinate non-neutrality, manifestation or anchoring, and sedimented selection history. To avoid idealism and relativism, four dimensions of reality-strength are proposed: manifestational stability, cross-operator alignment, intervention-resistance, and inheritance. Consciousness is not the source of selection; subjectivity is a sedimented bearing-position where consequences return. Phenomenal consciousness condenses from sentience to reflexive awareness.
