Nodal Existence Theory: A Framework Manifesto

This manifesto presents the foundational claims of Nodal Existence Theory in direct and accessible form, addressed to anyone who has confronted the question of human purpose as a lived experience rather than a philosophical abstraction. It argues that both theological and existentialist traditions share a foundational premise that the physical universe has no structural answer to the question of human purpose, and that this premise is not a feature of the universe but an artifact of incomplete cosmological knowledge. The manifesto proposes that human purpose is structural, present tense, and continuous, running through every human life regardless of recognition, achievement, or circumstance.
