Distinction Formalism: A Minimal Structural Framework of Historical Non-Substitutability

Key Points

• The aim is to establish a minimal structural framework that explains stable existence through historical non-substitutability.
• Introduced a framework defining stability by historical continuity and distinction.
• Explored concepts of irreversibility and causality within the framework.
• Identified historical non-substitutability as a condition for irreversibility and stable persistence.
• Proposed a theoretical link between distinctions and continuous historical existence.
