Non-Temporal Configuration Theory
Abstract
This preprint presents Non-Temporal Configuration Theory, a methodological framework for describing world stability without relying on temporal development, causal explanation, or optimization. The paper proposes a configuration-based descriptive approach in which the world is treated as an object of handling rather than explanation. Time is not denied, but deliberately set aside as a primary organizing principle, allowing stability to be articulated through relations, distributions, thresholds, and quasi-stable configurations. This work is shared as a preprint to make the framework openly available. A peer-reviewed submission may be pursued in parallel. Related updates may be available at: patreon.com/NMStructuralTheoryLab
