A mathematical model in which truth is revealed as a sequence of qualitative transitions in the logic of the subject's relational development with the world.
This theory introduces a vector measure of epistemic efficiency, based on three fundamental dimensions of the subject's cognitive and active capacity: Freedom, Strength, and Authorship.
Absolute Truth is the datum that makes a person freer, stronger, and more authorial. In practice, we work with true data — those that improve a person's life (increase their vector of efficiency). If a person uses true data, their life gradually becomes better. If they use false data, it gets worse.
The state of an epistemic agent is described by the vector:
where F — Freedom, P — Strength (Power), A — Authorship.
The space of states is endowed with the structure of a partial order:
Any theory claiming operationality must rely on a minimal set of independent yet jointly sufficient parameters describing the subject's effectiveness.
The choice of precisely these three components — Freedom, Strength, and Authorship — is justified as follows:
These three dimensions form a minimal basis system in which any qualitative improvement in the subject's state can be expressed as a non-decreasing vector.
Unlike a total order, a partial order allows comparison only between states where dominance exists across all components simultaneously. This is important because:
Not all states are comparable. For example, an increase in freedom with a simultaneous decrease in authorship does not allow us to definitively say that one state is "better" than another. The partial order preserves this incomparability, which corresponds to real epistemic practice.
Formally, this is expressed through the relation ≼, which is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, but not necessarily total.
Truth is defined as an operator T on the set of data such that:
This definition directly follows from the requirement that truth must always be non-deteriorating (weakly increasing) and sometimes strictly improving. Such a definition automatically generates a filter in the partially ordered set of states.
For practical applicability, a discrete approximation of the direction of vector change is introduced:
Each component of σ reflects a qualitative transition:
Such quantization allows the subject to perform evaluation without needing precise measurement of F, P, A values, while preserving the mathematical rigor of the criterion.
A datum x is considered true if and only if σ(x) lies in the positive cone K⁺, that is:
This is equivalent to stating that truth is any datum whose application does not lead to regression in any of the basic dimensions and provides strict progress in at least one.
The theory possesses the property of self-verifiability because the application of its own statements to the subject's state does not decrease the vector V. Formally, this means that the theory is a fixed point of the operator T:
Thus, the theory not only describes truth but also satisfies its own criterion, which removes the problem of regress in justification.
A single criterion (vector growth) is applied to all types of data and levels of complexity.
The vector components are functionally interdependent; a change in one affects the others.
The model allows for folding and unfolding — from the individual to the scientific community.
The space of states possesses a clear algebraic structure (a partially ordered vector space).
Truth is not discovered but constructed through the sequential application of operators that increase the vector.
The model views cognition as a holistic system, not a set of isolated statements.
For practical verification, an evaluation function is introduced:
Criterion of truth: A datum x is true if σ(x) belongs to the positive cone (all components ≥ 0 and at least one > 0).
The application of the theory to its own statements leads to a non-decrease in the vector.
A subject who systematically applies true data increases their capacity to transmit conditions for the growth of F, P, and A to surrounding systems.
Final Formula of the Theory of Absolute Truth • 2026
Truth is an operator T such that for any datum x:
and there exists at least one datum for which the inequality is strict.
Full normalized vector space: multiple vectors showing monotonic growth after the application of Truth.
The theory satisfies its own criterion (self-verifiability) and generates a positive loop of epistemic efficiency amplification.
