Abstract

In the phenomenological tradition, epochē is conceived as an act of liberation of consciousness from naturalistic presuppositions, opening access to the “pure givenness” of the phenomenon. This article proposes an ontodynamic reinterpretation of this practice within the framework of metamonism — a proto-ontology grounded in the prohibition of absolute self-identity and the necessity of continuous differentiation. Epochē here appears not as the disclosure of the ground of being, but as an asymptotic approximation of the cognitive node to the forbidden attractor Fix — a structural singularity of the process, ontologically equivalent to Nothing. The analysis demonstrates that epochē functions as a local minimization of differentiation (Diff), redistributing the process into pre-symbolic registers, and serves as a phase of retuning within the general flow of Λffffffff, rather than its telos. Thus, metamonism removes the metaphysical claim of epochē, returning it to the productive dynamics of differences.
