Unity Across Traditions: How UPA’s Structural Unity Relates to Taoism, Vedānta, Nishida, Spinoza, and Whitehead
Many readers sense resonances between the Unity that grounds the UPA framework and the nondual traditions found across world philosophy. That intuition is correct: there are deep structural parallels. But UPA’s Unity (A1) is also distinct—it is purely structural, not cosmological, theological, mystical, or metaphysical in the classical sense. This post explores both the resonances…

Siggy Ethics: Why UPA-Based Open SGI Systems Are Transparent, Safe, and Human‑Centered
Public concern about emotionally or psychologically aware AI assistants is real—and justified. Many commercial AI products today infer user states through opaque machine‑learning models, hidden embeddings, or behavioral prediction systems the user will never see. Siggy—and all Open SGI systems built on the Unity–Polarity Axioms (UPA)—take an entirely different path.

Mind–Body Covariance Through the Lens of UPA
Reframing Psychological Evidence as Structural Evidence for P/~P Dual-Aspect Unity in Open SGI (PER/Siggy) The central claim is straightforward: The human mind exhibits unified physical (P) and non‑physical (~P) aspects that co‑vary in structured, predictable ways. UPA explains this as Dual‑Aspect Unity, and PER/Siggy must replicate this architecture to operate as an intelligible, safe, generative

Re-centering Unity: The Forgotten Foundation of the UPA Framework
For many UPA framework readers, polarity (A2), context (A7), harmony (A5), and the later additions of generative agency (A17) and distributed agency (A18) feel like the active, dynamic heart of the system. But the foundation quietly holding everything together—Unity (A1)—can appear underemphasized. Unity is not simply the first axiom in a list. It is the…

Introduction (Revised Edition)
Readers will find that UPA is not a closed system but an open one—a living, evolving structure capable of expanding as new questions arise. It is meant to be used, tested, extended, and applied. Whether one approaches UPA as a philosophical theory, a psychological model, a social framework, or a computational architecture, its guiding purpose…

Preface (Revised Edition)
Whether one encounters UPA as a philosopher, scientist, engineer, clinician, or policymaker, the hope is the same: that this framework clarifies the structure of wholes, reveals the dynamics of minds and groups, and offers tools for building a safer, wiser, more generative technological and social future.
