Ontamanence

Every major field of human knowledge produces what it takes to be an account of existence. Physics describes the origin and structure of the universe. Biology explains the emergence and diversification of life. Philosophy constructs arguments about why anything exists at all. Theology offers answers grounded in the divine. Each field operates with internal coherence, and each begins with something already in place.

Ontamanence documents this pattern across twenty-four fields. The documentation proceeds on each field's own terms, demonstrating what the field accomplishes before identifying where the question of existence remains unaddressed. The pattern is cross-disciplinary and independently verifiable. The book makes no prescriptive claims.
