01 — ABOUT THE BOOK

A different form.
The same honesty.

The New Metaphysics does not begin by claiming that everything is consciousness, that an observer creates the world, or that physics secretly confirms our desires. It takes the world of relations, W, seriously: it resists us, displays regularity and does not wait for a human gaze in order to exist.

At the same time, it preserves the epistemic asymmetry: W, the body, the brain and every theory are available to us within experience. This does not make E a magical apparatus that manufactures the universe. It makes E the honest starting point of knowledge.

The book develops the working symbols W, B, P, E, Q, S and Ω, while treating them as instruments rather than revealed substances. S marks the limit of warranted description; HΩ is the separate working hypothesis of one reality. Every step must disclose whether it is certainty, inference, hypothesis or unknown.

01

Experience without solipsism

Experience is the starting point of knowledge, not proof that an observer creates the world.

02

A world of relations

W may exist independently of any individual perspective while being known only through experience.

03

An open metaphysics

S marks the limit of what we are entitled to claim. HΩ opens the possibility of one reality, but remains a hypothesis rather than a substitute religion.

Essays and dialogues · Two distinct books

The same questions. A different way of reading.

A book of essays

The New Metaphysics ↗

Where has my thinking arrived?

Authorial essays on experience and the nature of existence, arranged into a coherent intellectual journey. The book selects, edits, connects and expands the essays on this website. It has a unified authorial voice and openly acknowledges the collaboration with AI.

A book of dialogues

Something Is Present ↗

How did I get here — and what do I still doubt?

Edited conversations between Miroslav Mühlböck and AI. Readers follow questions, objections, dead ends and the personal reasons for the inquiry. Speakers will be identified as Mirek and AI, preserving genuine uncertainty and disagreement. This is not a second exposition of TNM or essays recast as questions and answers.

An essay develops an argument. A dialogue reveals how it emerges and where it meets resistance. Themes may overlap, but passages should not be duplicated. Each book will stand on its own; the essays remain available on the website.
