Research on autism and neurodivergence has produced a wide range of partial models over recent decades, including monotropism, hyper-systemizing, intense-world hypotheses, variants of predictive processing, theories of veridical mapping, and empirical descriptions of savant phenomena. Each of these approaches captures real aspects of neurodivergent cognition, yet they remain fragmented and fail to explain why these phenomena systematically co-occur. The present paper proposes an ontological re-framing. Building on the Rosetta Operator (10.5281/ZENODO.17857039), it argues that neurodivergent cognition should not primarily be understood as a variation of cognitive properties within an already stabilized world, but as a specific position within the process of world-stabilization itself. Veridical mapping is thus conceptualized not as a special ability, but as an epistemic access to pre-ontological structures that are early symbolically smoothed and integrated in neurotypical cognition. In this context, the Rosetta Operator does not function as an additional theory, but as a translational framework that allows existing models to be read as docking points of the same underlying dynamic: delayed or partial stabilization of world, increased openness to non-integrated structure, and a liminal observer position between pre-ontological openness and ontologically closed world. On this basis, monotropism, intense-world approaches, predictive-processing models, hyper-systemizing, veridical mapping, savant phenomena, and the double-empathy problem are integrated as different projections of a shared ontological process. The paper positions itself as a foundational contribution. It does not aim to introduce a new clinical typology, but to clarify the epistemic position of neurodivergent cognition and its significance for epistemology, scientific practice, and the understanding of different modes of world-access. This paper functions as an interface text within a larger operator-based research corpus. Core concepts are applied here, not re-derived. The underlying research operates in a non-linear, rhythmically recursive epistemic mode grounded in an autistic form of structural perception; the present text provides an interface translation for academic contexts.
