Infinite Deferral, Personal Ground, and Love as Terminal Closure: A Grounding–Agency–Relational Fixed-Point Synthesis
Abstract
This paper synthesizes a structural chain linking (i) the metaphysical impossibility of infinite causal/grounding deferral, (ii) a conditional consequence of libertarian personhood for the nature of the non-derivative ground, and (iii) a formally unique terminal relational closure among persons. It separates fixed-point existence (Knaster–Tarski) from uniqueness (ω-openness elimination under TC constraints) and provides a strengthened dynamical refinement for finite populations without assuming an empirical “moral arc of history.”
