What is Arbitrium?

Arbitrium (Latin: judgment, decision, the ability to discern) — a comprehensive philosophical system unifying ontology, metaphysics, and applied doctrines into a single structure.

The Problem

Modern civilization lacks a universally accepted worldview foundation. Existing systems — religious, secular, scientific — are fragmented or mutually incompatible. This creates a crisis of foundations: there is no criterion for distinguishing truth from error.

The Solution

Arbitrium offers a system built deductively from a single foundation — the concept of absolute immutability.

Core: Ontology of Nothing — a philosophical formalization deriving the structure of being from an immutable foundation.

Method: Distinctio — a procedure for ontological arbitration of interpretations. Verdict: valid / apparent / untenable.

Structure

From the core, the basic chain is deductively derived:

Epistemology → Anthropology → Ethics

From the basic chain — applied doctrines covering all spheres: politics, economics, law, education, science, and others.
