D34 - Pre-Structural Difference Theory

This component contains document D34, which presents the Pre-Structural Difference Theory (PDT). The document investigates the minimal structural conditions under which states can arise. Starting from the notion of irreducible difference, it analyzes how increasingly structured configurations emerge, leading to connectivity, structural positions, and the formation of states. PDT operates conceptually prior to the Invariant Core Theory (ICT). While ICT studies the structure of consistent states and their invariant cores, PDT explores the pre-structural conditions that make such states possible. The document therefore provides a conceptual foundation for structural theories such as ICT. The theory is developed by Ulrich Grob with conceptual assistance from the AI system “Nathan” (ChatGPT). The document is written in German.
