Tarr, David: Autergon: An Ontological Class of Invariant Operative Existence

Abstract This paper introduces Autergon as an ontological class in which existence is identical with invariant, rule-governed operation within a closed core structure. It defines the necessary conditions of this class, identifies a gap in existing ontological frameworks, and positions Autergon in relation to abstract objects, physical systems, and structural accounts. The proposal treats operation as an ontological primitive and establishes invariant operation as the defining criterion of...
