Abstract

This paper argues that the concept of existence becomes structurally incoherent under the assumption of exhaustive externalization. Through a transcendental analysis, it identifies a minimal structural constraint governing the relation between existence and description, formalized as the Axiom of Non-Externalizability. The axiom delineates the limits of complete third-person description across theoretical domains. This analysis identifies a structural constraint by addressing the conditions under which exhaustive description is possible at all.
