Abstract

This essay examines the place of Metamonism within contemporary philosophy, positioning it as the radical completion of the processual turn in metaphysics. Moving beyond the classical dichotomy of Being vs Becoming, Metamonism derives reality from the double ontological prohibition (absolute self-identity and absolute nothingness are both impossible), resulting in a forced process (Mōnos) without any substantial entities. The text traces the genealogy from Parmenides to Deleuze, showing how previous systems preserved hidden forms of Fix, and presents Metamonism as the systematic elimination of substantial metaphysics through the Processual Razor of Occam. It also highlights Metamonism's empirical predictive power and radical reinterpretation of physical facts across scales.
