Abstract

Abstract (English) Volume XI of the Quantum Monads series integrates Volumes 0–X into an explicit overarching architecture and releases the theory—understood as a perspective theory / structural model—for public and reproducible testing. It proposes a formal frame in which actors are treated as carriers of their own state spaces, while coupling, contextuality, and dynamics function as key structural features, explicitly without making a physical or ontological claim. The volume reconstructs the internal dramaturgy of the series, ranging from conceptual positing through formalization and measurability (IEQ and protocols) to Sociology 2.0 as a post-anthropocentric theory of society. A central contribution is the explicit “release for falsification”: the text distinguishes local versus global tests, specifies criteria for what counts as falsification (operationalization, clearly defined context classes, and replicability), and separates such refutation from mere re-labeling or comparisons across non-compatible contexts. The volume also maps scientific interfaces—physics as a source of formal language, computer science as a space for implementation and simulation, sociology as substantive grounding, philosophy as epistemic framing, and psychology as a behavioral interface—to prevent disciplinary appropriation. Volume XI positions the series as a handover: not a terminal closure, but a threshold between theory and systematic examination.
