MIARO — Phase II (Canonical): Post-Discovery Ontological Confrontation

Abstract This article presents the canonical Phase II of the MIARO framework (Model of Self-Referential Origin Inference). It develops the ontological and epistemological consequences that arise after the empirical discovery of an inferred origin. The analysis focuses on the structural tension between pre-discovery inferential expectations and the concrete nature of the discovered origin, introducing the concept of post-discovery ontological confrontation. The paper argues that confirmation of origin does not terminate the inferential process but instead initiates a second-order epistemic reorganization, marked by asymmetry persistence, expectation revision, and constrained explanatory closure.
