substraattion

Substraattion is a term that has emerged in certain niche academic and philosophical discussions. It refers to a theoretical concept related to the idea of a foundational layer or underlying reality upon which other structures or phenomena are built. This foundational layer, or substrate, is considered essential for the existence and operation of the more superficial or emergent aspects. The term suggests a process of being "substantiated" or given form and reality by this underlying base.

The concept of substraattion often arises when exploring questions of ontology, epistemology, and metaphysics. It can be applied to various fields, from the philosophy of mind, where it might describe the material basis of consciousness, to social sciences, where it could represent the fundamental social structures that enable complex human interactions. The nature of this substrate itself is a subject of debate, with different theories proposing it to be physical, informational, or even conceptual in nature. Understanding substraattion involves considering what is fundamentally real and how that reality gives rise to everything else.
