Allen Proxmire — 2025–2026
The Event Density (ED) program develops a unified ontological framework in which becoming—the continual production of micro-events—is the primitive structure of reality. From this single commitment, the familiar layers of physics emerge:
- spacetime
- curvature
- quantum behavior
- information
- thermodynamics
- cosmology
- physical law
The ED program is presented as a sequence of 11 papers, each building on the last. Together, they form a coherent architecture that reframes physics from the ground up.
All papers are archived with DOIs via Zenodo and mirrored on PhilPapers.

A consolidated citation guide will be added in a future update.
The ED program aims to:
- provide a unified ontological foundation for physics
- dissolve long-standing conceptual tensions (QM vs GR, information vs geometry, etc.)
- show how classical, quantum, relativistic, and cosmological behavior arise from a single substrate
- offer a clean, architectural alternative to substance-based metaphysics
- demonstrate that physical law is emergent, not fundamental
Upcoming papers include:
-
Paper 12: Agency in the Event Density Ontology
How self-maintaining ED structures become self-directed. -
Additional mathematical extensions
-
Biological thresholds and autopoiesis in ED
-
Computational and informational interpretations
