Isomorphism of Pathological Fixations: Psychological Trauma and Tumor as Regimes of Biological Death
Abstract
This article investigates the isomorphism between oncological and psychiatric pathologies through the lens of metamonism—an interdisciplinary framework based on processual ontology. Based on the axiom of the prohibition of indifference, it is shown that the terminal stage of disease occurs when local dominance of self-identity (fix) cascades to the level of the entire system, leading to the loss of Monos's capacity for differentiation (diff → 0). It is substantiated that cancerous tumors and psychological trauma are regimes of biological death, where the system's attainment of complete self-identity is ontologically equivalent to transition into the state of "Nothingness."
