About

I offer a unique research profile aimed at reconciling empirical science with metaphysics. My philosophical work, specifically the development of Kerdotism, seeks to bridge the gap between physical primitives like entropy and higher-order normative structures. With regard to my scientific training, I am currently completing my undergraduate studies in Chemistry and am engaged in a research internship within an organic chemistry laboratory. My current independent research examines the underlying structures of logic and determinism, aiming to formalize an explicit interface for stochastic processes within reality. While deeply philosophical in its derivation, the resulting model offers empirically testable hypotheses and operationalizes stability as a basis for emergent determinism—evolving from a conceptual inquiry into a rigorous framework at the foundations of physical reality. Furthermore, this framework is explicitly consistent with Kerdotism; by providing the underlying physical substrate, it integrates with my previous work to form a comprehensive, multi-scale theoretical architecture.

From Negentropy to Norms – A Gain-Based Theory of Agency: Kerdotism

Journal: Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science
Status: Published [01.05.2026] ; Accepted without revision

Abstract: This paper proposes a vertically integrated framework of agency that connects thermodynamic constraints on living systems with agent-level evaluation and higher-order normative phenomena. Starting from the constraint that biological systems must maintain their organization under entropic pressure, we introduce a Principle of Teleological Necessity that models action as systematically oriented toward an antecedent end. On this basis, we develop an evaluative calculus that treats value and norm-guided behavior in terms of perceived gain and loss. The framework distinguishes five axiological dimensions and specifies how inhomogeneous trade-offs can be represented within a common evaluative medium.
