The Meta-Model of Existential Dynamics: A Systems-Ontological Framework Based on Necessary Constraints

This paper introduces the Meta-model of Existential Dynamics, a systems-ontological framework grounded in a non-teleological ontology of necessary constraints, rather than predefined purposes. Evolving from the author's earlier 'intelligence dynamics model', which focused on cognitive systems, the present meta-model generalizes the underlying insight: that any system's stability, adaptivity, and seemingly purposeful behavior emerge from the continual negotiation of three fundamental meta-constraints—Acquisition, Efficiency Seeking, and Continuation—distributed across Scale and Temporality and enacted through Recursive Feedback. Beyond conceptual unification, the paper operationalizes the model with concrete analytical procedures. A detailed case study of a startup organization illustrates its explanatory resolution at meso-scale; additional sections demonstrate how the model provides a coherent meta-language for evolutionary theory, integrates disparate schools of psychology into a single dynamical schema, and motivates a new conjecture on strong artificial intelligence grounded in existential constraint embodiment rather than externally imposed goals. Rather than functioning as a static taxonomy, the meta-model operates as a generative grammar of existence, offering a cross-domain explanatory structure from quantum-level persistence to civilizational dynamics. It bridges philosophy and empirical science while opening pathways for interdisciplinary research and future computational realizations , without addressing implementation-level details in this theoretical work.
