# DSRP as Universal Ontology

The Structural Foundation of All Systems

Cabrera D, Journal of Systems Thinking, 2025

## Abstract

An argument that DSRP meets the criteria for a scientific ontology rather than a conceptual vocabulary: minimal structural primitives, universality across scales, explicit generative rules, evidence that the operators are instantiated in nature, evidence that they govern cognition, falsifiability, and generativity.

## What they found (results)

Compares DSRP against classical, analytic, phenomenological, process and systems-theoretic ontologies on those criteria. Most propose categorical content that is rarely axiomatized and almost never empirically tested; DSRP is presented as structural rather than categorical.

## Response

Carries the existence-versus-effect distinction the Law of Structural Reality depends on: evidence that the operators appear in matter independently of observers, separate from evidence that they govern thinking. The comparison table is an argument by criteria, not a measurement.
