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

The article reinterprets the phenomenological concept of epochē—the suspension of naturalistic assumptions to access pure phenomena—through the lens of metamonism, a proto-ontology that rejects absolute self-identity and requires continuous differentiation. In this framework, epochē is not a revelation of being's ground but an asymptotic approach of the cognitive node toward Fix, a structural singularity equivalent to Nothing. It functions as a local minimization of differentiation (Diff), redistributing the process into pre-symbolic registers and serving as a phase of retuning within the general flow of Λffffffff, rather than its goal. Metamonism thus removes epochē's metaphysical claim, returning it to productive 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.
