Bridge Theory
A connected research programme exploring relationships between foundational ideas and more narrowly specified scientific and philosophical questions.
This programme brings related questions into view. Connections between papers do not, by themselves, imply a logical dependence or a shared result.

How can one relational reality support both a common objective environment and coherent inward possibilities? I defend recursive constitution: participants are concrete relational organizations, and a reference domain is both their containing organiz…
One Participant, Three Physical Readings: A Bridge Theory of relativity, nested networks, and physical scale
Can embodiment, perceptual differentiation, and gravitation be understood as physical expressions of one nested relational organization? Bridge Theory proposes that finer relations constitute wholes that participate as objects within a containing dom…
Nested Biological Organization and Perceptual Scale: A Relational Hypothesis
How are an organism’s embodied individuality and its access to spatial detail connected? Bridge Theory proposes that finer relations constitute wholes whose outward participation gives them an object-role within a common domain. That domain is itself…
A Nested Scale-Balance Hypothesis for Centrally Integrated Organisms
BioBand asks whether the characteristic scale domain of centrally integrated organisms expresses a nested relational organization. Finer relations constitute a whole that participates as an object within a containing domain. That domain is itself a w…
Earth G: Nested Contexts and a Fixed Cross-Scale Relation for Terrestrial Gravity
Earth G proposes that physical scales and gravitational conditions express a common nested relational organization. Its starting point is fundamental relativity: participants and their settings are constituted through relations. An internally differe…
