Ontological Language of Difference: Observer, Time, Information — A Philosophical Framework and Its Application to the Interpretation of Language Models
Ella Alexandrovna Arslanova
This paper proposes an ontological language in which time, information, and the observer are defined as structures of difference rather than substances. The model belongs to the tradition of relational and processual approaches in the philosophy of physics—Carlo Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics, Christopher Fuchs's QBism, Alfred Whitehead's process philosophy, and Gregory Bateson's information theory—and offers a unified terminological synthesis of this tradition. The article does not claim to solve open problems in physics, but offers a unified terminological language for a more coherent conversation about known facts and for posing tasks to artificial intelligence systems. The conducted experiment demonstrates that using the ontological core increases the Ontological Consistency Score (OCS) of language model responses by an average of 36.7% compared to baseline metrics. This is the first empirical result confirming the practical value of the proposed ontological language as a tool for prompt engineering.
