Systematic Exclusion and the Origin of Evil – 
Drs. H. C. J. Stolting | 2026-05-01
While nature automatically excludes all that is unsustainable within its own natural dynamic, the human mind can create and maintain within itself maladaptive ideas that, if expressed in nature, would quickly be driven out. This leads to a mismatch between our inner concepts and the reality whereupon we believe we can apply those concepts. This schism between nature and our mental models is not only the origin of evil, but of many other ills.
2026/08 – The PSE Research Programme – Introduction
The PSE research programme investigates whether the principle of Systematic Exclusion can provide a domain-independent conceptual framework for understanding organization across physical, biological, cognitive, and social systems. It is developed as a proposed domain-independent organizational principle. Its scientific value depends on whether it can generate a coherent and empirically fertile research programme, connect findings across established disciplines, and produce claims that can be critically examined.
The programme therefore distinguishes carefully between established scientific knowledge, interpretations derived from existing research, and propositions specific to PSE.

2026/01 – The Holo-script, a Manifesto on the Limits of Human Reality
This document seeks to dismantle the very framework through which we build our world, to expose the hidden architecture of our knowledge, and to reveal the universal principle that governs both what we can know and what must forever remain beyond our grasp. We begin not with a complex theorem, but with a simple, arresting image of our fundamental condition.

2026/09 –🇬🇧 Individuality – The Principle of Systematic Exclusion as a Relational Theory of Biological Individuality
The 🇬🇧 Annotated Transcript of the Podcast published on LinkedIn (Post #10)
At first sight, few biological questions seem easier than asking what counts as an individual. We recognize an animal, a plant, or a human being almost without thinking. A body appears to provide its own answer: here the organism begins; there the surrounding world starts. Modern biology has made that apparently simple distinction increasingly difficult to maintain.
The physical boundary of an organism does not necessarily coincide with its physiological, ecological, developmental, immunological, or evolutionary boundary. Microbial communities can display striking forms of collective organization. Hosts live in intimate and sometimes indispensable association with microbial partners. Eusocial insect colonies can coordinate their activities so extensively that the colony itself begins to resemble an organism, while the insects composing it remain organisms in their own right. This shifts the question. Where an organism ends is only part of the problem.
This problem begins with a deceptively simple question: Where does the biological individual actually end?
2026/07 –🇬🇧 Coherence & Congruence – Why Successful Systems Eventually Fail
Natural selection is often described as a process of optimization. Strictly speaking, however, this is misleading. Evolution does not produce perfect organisms, nor does it strive toward any predetermined ideal. It simply preserves those organizational structures that remain sufficiently successful under the conditions in which they exist.

The Principle of Systematic Exclusion. Why Coherent Systems Must Hide Most of Reality
Some of the most important discoveries in twentieth-century science suggest that the limits of knowledge may not simply reflect the current state of research; they may arise from the very structure of the systems through which knowledge becomes possible. This essay explores that possibility through what is called the Principle of Systematic Exclusion (PSE). The principle states that any coherent system—whether physical, biological, cognitive, or symbolic—can exist or generate knowledge only by systematically excluding a vast range of alternative possibilities.
