Not 'Things', But Determination Relations → Containment Networks → Invariant Reality
The foundational shift of the research program: moving away from fundamental static objects to structural determination. A system's identity is born from its containment network and invariant constraints.
The most fundamental unit is no longer 'things', but the determination relation. Containment is the primary mechanism of this determination: a structure is determined by its containment relations, and its identity emerges from the constraint network it contains and is contained within.
Reality is not a bare object independent of observation, but the invariant core surviving across all valid projections. It is the unchanging part of determination.
Time is not a universal background container, but a derivative local coordination parameter of structural determination—tracking movement across structural configurations.
If the program is correct, physics is not a fundamental master theory, but a specific class of structural determination. The exact same axioms apply symmetrically to biology, economics, information systems, and social structures.
What once appeared as separate projects now converge as distinct faces of a single underlying core principle governing complex systems:
The foundational representation-independent axiomatic bedrock.
Quantitative modeling of containment-based hierarchical depth.
Reality as the constraint-invariant structure across projections.
Application to economic market systems, tracking and measurement.
