| contents | <p>Abstract:<br><br>The Recursive-Collapse-Recombination (RCR) Model is a metastable, autopoietic, non-hierarchical, non-binary, and non-linear framework that defines reality as a continuously generative process. It describes how recursion (self-reinforcing structures), collapse (destabilization and phase shifts), and recombination (adaptive restructuring) interact to produce emergent, dynamic systems. Unlike equilibrium-based models, RCR establishes metastability as the core condition of reality, as a result of the RCR interacting, ensuring ongoing transformation rather than static resolution. The model is mathematically formalized to apply across domains, from physics and cognitive science to social structures and AI systems. By framing reality as an interplay of recursion, collapse, and recombination, RCR reveals why deterministic reductionism fails and why reality remains an open-ended generative structure rather than a closed, finite system.<br><br>Keywords:<br><br>Recursive-Collapse-Recombination (RCR)<br><br>Metastability<br><br>Phase Transitions<br><br>Nonlinear Systems<br><br>Emergence<br><br>Self-Organization<br><br>Autopoiesis<br><br>Indeterminacy<br><br>Reality Structuring<br><br>Generative Systems<br><br><br>License (CC BY 4.0)<br><br>This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).<br><br>✔ Share — Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.<br>✔ Adapt — Remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.<br><br>Attribution Requirement:<br>You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
