Day 2: Stop Dividing the World. Reality is a Single, Self-Folding Surface.

So, why do I think we need this “folded field” idea? It’s because the old architecture of thought just doesn’t work anymore.
Philosophy, right from the early Greeks, began with a split. It divided the world into what is and what becomes, mind and body, subject and object. While this promised clarity, it just produced fragmentation. We built sciences for objects, humanities for meanings, and politics for subjects, acting like these were totally separate realms. But now, the seams between them began to tear.


Our world is moving faster than these categories can follow. Think about it: AI blurs the line between tool and mind. Climate change erases the line between human and nature. Quantum physics dissolves the line between matter and energy. The very distinctions that once structured knowledge have become obsolete.


This forces a question: If division no longer serves, what might replace it? What if reality isn’t made of separate things? What if it’s a single, continuous fabric that differentiates itself from within? What if being and becoming, mind and matter, objects and relations are just local patterns of one field?


This is the task I’m setting out to explore. It’s not mysticism. It’s what I call a new geometry of thought. I propose we think of reality as curvature. It’s a self-folding surface, and all the things, selves, and events we perceive are just its undulations.
