The Onto-Rhythmic Self: An Ontological Reframing of Subjectivity

Area of Science:

• Philosophy of Mind
• Ontology
• Phenomenology

Background:

• Critiques Husserl's transcendental ego and Dennett's narrative self.
• Identifies four limitations: subjectivity, temporal articulation, ontological grounding, and existential necessity.
• Highlights limitations of synthesis and simulation in understanding selfhood.

Purpose of the Study:

• Introduce the Onto-Rhythmic Self concept.
• Propose a participatory ontology where Consciousness and Time are modalities of Being.
• Offer a new framework for understanding selfhood.

Main Methods:

• Multi-layered methodology combining comparative ontological analysis.
• Phenomenological reflection.
• Expressive mapping.

Main Results:

• The Onto-Rhythmic Self is conceptualized as a modulatory field of Being.
• It integrates rhythm, resonance, and relational articulation.
• Discloses across neural, cultural, ecological, and quantum strata.

Conclusions:

• The Onto-Rhythmic Self is an ontological inscription, not a transcendental subject or computational fiction.
• Implications span philosophy (ontic emergence), clinical practice (rhythmic re-attunement), and art (ontological modulation).
• Provides a structurally rigorous and experientially faithful grammar of consciousness and Being.
