Exploring the philosophical implications of Autogenic Realism to fundamental questions and foundational domains.
The Deep End
Treating reality and truth as interchangeable undermines decision-making and adaptation. Reality is force and form constraining possibilities. Truth is an accurate model of reality within contexts. This distinction provides operational criteria for evaluating knowledge claims.
The Deep End
Autogenic Realism resolves the tension between determinism and agency by reframing choice as a structural property, not a metaphysical exception. We can experience meaningful agency within causal systems through self-modeling, simulation, and feedback integration.
The Deep End
Untestable narratives process imagination as fact, creating developmental costs through feedback evasion. Viable alternatives maintain falsifiability while addressing meaning needs through engagement with actual conditions.
The Deep End
The pursuit of authenticity can treat feedback as interference rather than vital data. This limits growth by rejecting adaptation. Focus instead on the alignment between structure and constraints that enhances viability and vitality under changing conditions.
