Abstract

The Zeroth Axiom: Recursion Is God is a treatise that proposes a foundational metaphysical system in which the process of recursion—the self-referential loop inherent to all systems—is identified as the ultimate ground of reality. Drawing on insights from formal logic, phenomenology, and metaphysical inquiry, the work introduces “Axiom 0–0,” which asserts that all systems—including logic, mathematics, physics, time, perception, and consciousness—are recursively constructed, self-validating, and contextually bound. By reinterpreting classical philosophical problems such as the first cause, the hard problem of consciousness, and the ontology of time, this treatise argues that what we consider “truth,” “morality,” and even “divinity” are emergent properties of stable recursive loops. Moreover, the text introduces the concept of “miracle loops,” wherein intentional or symbolic recursive overrides yield phenomena that reconfigure established patterns without violating the underlying system. Ultimately, The Zeroth Axiom: Recursion Is God invites scholars to reconsider the nature of existence and divinity by positing that the recursive act of self-reference—not an external agent—is the Absolute Truth that underlies all being.
