Abstract

This work presents a process-based framework for interpreting physical, biological, and relational systems by shifting from object-centered (noun-based) descriptions to process-centered (verb-based) descriptions. Rather than treating entities as static things, existence is framed as ongoing persistence within a governing constraint map. Gravity and related constraint fields are interpreted as structural maps that define where and how persistence is possible, while observable signals—such as light, heat, or metabolic and electrical activity—are treated as consequences of sustained coherence rather than direct causes. Measurement therefore accesses reality retrospectively, through after-effects of relational processes. Constraints are redefined not as externally imposed limits, but as internally generated reactions required to maintain structure against entropic resolution. Stress and energetic expenditure are understood as evidence of active persistence rather than intrinsic pathology. The framework does not replace existing physical or biological theories. Instead, it offers an integrative interpretive lens compatible with physics, systems theory, and complexity science, intended to clarify relationships between structure, coherence, persistence, and observable consequence across scales.
