Horizon Theory
A theory of how reality behaves.
Reality is a single, continuous, and undivided process. As thinking entities, we necessarily impose provisional and discrete boundaries onto this substrate to navigate existence. These boundaries are not inherent features of reality but functional approximations (arbitrary cuts made for the purpose of survival and utility). Because these boundaries are imposed by an observer with limited bandwidth, they can never fully capture the continuous complexity of the underlying reality. Horizon Theory explores the consequences of recognizing these limits: the benefits of conscious boundary construction and the costs of mistaking our functional maps for absolute truth.
