This text examines a simple feature of scientific practice that usually goes unnoticed. Every act of measurement presupposes three conditions: a system must maintain a distinguishable identity, it must enter into interaction with the instrument, and it must produce an organized result that can be recorded and interpreted. These conditions appear consistently across all domains of empirical inquiry. From particle physics to cosmology, from chemistry to biology, scientific observation unfolds...

Abstract The Elemental Reason identifies the minimal ontological conditions of empirical existence - Coherence (C), Interaction (I) and Complexity (K) - formalised in the relation E = C × I × K ≠ 0. Every reality that is perceptible through the senses and measurable through instruments, in the physical, chemical, biological and cognitive sciences, presupposes these conditions. Accordingly, Matter, Energy, Time and Space are not a pre-given substrate, but configurations achieved through C, I...

Abstract The Elemental Reason formulates a minimal ontological structure for empirical existence by extracting the operative conditions presupposed in scientific measurement and description. Across physics, chemistry, biology and the sciences of mind, a phenomenon is empirically identifiable only insofar as it preserves structural continuity across change, participates in causal interaction and exhibits non-trivial internal organization. These three conditions are articulated as coherence,...
