The Geometry Of Addiction

Description The Geometry of Addiction presents a structural, non-moral account of addiction grounded in human fulfillment and lived life conditions rather than pathology, choice, or character. The paper formalizes addiction as a mechanical compensatory process that arises when fundamental human needs—articulated as fulfillment constraints—are structurally unmet within the total human field. The framework introduces the Ontologon (the True Self, Higher Self, Monad) as the operative evaluator of life viability. When fulfillment constraints are unmet, life is experienced as a lacking continuity, and the Ontologon accurately recognizes the current configuration of life as unsustainable. In response, the system enters a compensatory script governed by a psychic prompt architecture termed the Momentum of Relapse. Within this model, craving is not causal but functions as an execution layer once momentum is active. Relapse is described as an act of recognition rather than confusion, and shame is identified as a recursive amplifier that sustains compensatory cycles by re-violating core fulfillment constraints. The paper reframes addiction as a rational optimization of livability under unsustainable conditions and positions widespread addiction as a diagnostic signal of structural failure at the civilizational level. By relocating causality from individual weakness to unmet human requirements, the work removes moral framing while preserving structural realism.Edit version 2.0: Added section 9.5.
