The Reality Spark

Reality is not simply given. It begins where effects can no longer be fully taken back without remainder. This study identifies the minimal ontological conditions under which reality becomes actual, remains temporally distinguishable, and acquires binding force. Three conditions prove jointly necessary: actualization, duration, and ontological bearing. Actualization names the irreversible transition from possibility to validity; duration the structural capacity to preserve distinguishability across succession; and ontological bearing the capacity of reality to endure relationally without collapsing into mere functionality, exchangeability, or total availability. Situated at the boundary between ontology, metaphysics, philosophy of physics, and philosophy of technology, the text offers a framework for clarifying temporal reality as a consequence of irreversible structure rather than a primitive given. In the broader manuscript, these conditions provide the ontological basis for later structural developments, including tri-field and seven-field configurations.
