PHILOSOPHY OF EVOLUISM. Volume II: Regimes of Analysis and Navigational Parameters

Volume II of Philosophy of Evoluism develops the methodological dimension of the Evoluist framework by shifting the focus from ontological distinctions to the analysis of regimes of manifestness. While Volume I established the asymmetry between Reality and World and introduced the triadic structure of element–regime–condition, the present volume examines how regimes of manifestness can be analytically distinguished, interpreted, and partially represented in empirical contexts. The central concept of the volume is the navigational parameter ψ, which characterises the mode of integration among stabilisations within a regime of manifestness. Unlike conventional variables, ψ is not measurable and does not function as a universal index; it operates instead as an analytic distinction guiding regime-analysis and the interpretation of complex configurations of coordination. In this sense, Evoluism functions as a navigational ontology: a framework for maintaining disciplined distinctions between existence, manifestness, stabilisation, integration, and modelling. On this basis the volume develops an analytic apparatus for the study of integrational configurations across scientific, technological, economic, and institutional domains. It argues that philosophical distinctions precede formal modelling and that empirical indicators can function only as proxy representations of regimes of manifestness rather than as direct ontological descriptions.
