Ghost Nodes

Ghost Nodes are implicit foundations upon which one or more formal Nodes within the Framework depend. Though not yet articulated as standalone claims or principles, their assumed truth underpins the reasoning of connected Nodes. To ensure the Framework’s internal coherence, each Ghost Node must eventually be interrogated, justified, and formalised as a proper Node. If a Ghost Node is found to be unsound, every Node that rests upon it must be reconsidered.

All currently identified Ghost Nodes are listed below, along with the number of direct connections for each:

The Framework is a systematic effort to build a complete, coherent, and non​-contradictory representation of my beliefs and principles. Each NODE constitutes a rigorously interrogated component; an idea refined in isolation before being integrated and cross​-checked against the whole to ensure logical consistency.
