Inclusionist Perspective

Interaction is the mechanism through which value emerges.

Without interaction there can be existence, but there can be no relational value.

Core Principle

Value emerges through interaction.

Inclusionist Thought Experiment

In a hypothetical reality containing only a single isolated object, existence may occur, but relational value cannot emerge.

The moment a second object exists, interaction becomes possible.

Interaction creates the conditions for witnessing, differentiation, information exchange, and value emergence.
