Book VII: Categorical Metaphysics
From Mathematical Structure to Lived Reality
About This Volume (First Edition)
Book VII developed categorical metaphysics across ontology, aesthetics, language, ethics, and consciousness. It derived the Categorical Imperative as a structural consequence of the framework and treated consciousness as the final self-enrichment.
What Changed in the Second Edition
The Second Edition substantially expands the treatment from 92 to 128 chapters, adding the Logos sector, phenomenology, the four registers of metaphysics, and the complete final self-enrichment argument. The subtitle changes to “The Final Self-Enrichment.” Lean 4 formalization reaches 66% registry coverage (with 3 intentional methodological sorry).
