- W621034239 abstract "In this paper I will discuss the philosophical topic of emergence and reduction(ism). The motivation behind that is to try to overcome an inherent vagueness of the reductionist program which most obstinately shows up at the primordial emergence, namely that of the intended elementary ontological structure(s) of the universe itself. I propose that for overcoming the alleged nearly paradoxical situation of reductionism with respect to primordial emergence one has to put the attached problems in a rigorously emergence-theoretical perspective. Thus I will also come to some uncommon ontological results, e.g. the postulate of objects which are no intended entities (and no mere ideas or fictitious concepts either) and by this to the postulate that the most fundamental physical structure(s) have to be seen as being emergent from a rigorously non-physical, i.e. an entirely mathematical structure. Physica ergo ... desinit in geometriam, nec ante ullum phaenomenon penitus in corporibus intelligemus, quam ex primis figurae motusque ideis derivamus.* Introduction: The Tower of Turtles or the Pitfall of Reductionism as we knew it In his characteristically multifaceted and wide ranging essay ‘It from Bit’ John A.Wheeler postulates four great No’s as guidelines for a future foundation of physics. Citing William James he puts the first of the great No’s the following way: “ “No tower of turtles,” advised William James. Existence is not a globe supported by an elephant, supported by a turtle, supported by yet another turtle, and so on. In other words, no infinite regress.”1 * G.W.Leibniz, Dissertatio exoterica de statu praesenti et incrementis novissimis deque usu geometriae, in: G.W.Leibniz, Mathematische Schriften, (ed. C.J.Gerhardt), Bd.VII p 325); (Physics namely ... fades away into geometry, and we won’t know any phenomenon deeply in its corporeal construction as long as we haven’t derived it from the first principles of geometrical figures and of motion.) 1 J.A.Wheeler; It from Bit, in: J.A.Wheeler, At Home in the Universe, Woodbury 1994, 295-311, p 300; cf. also: J.A.Wheeler, Information, Physics, Quantum: The search for links, in: W.H.Zurek (ed.), Complexity, Entropy and the Physics of Information, Redwood City 1990, 3-28, p 8" @default.
