The preceding points described how KNOWING is established as a relational field, and how further development occurs through Idealist Emergence. In this section, attention shifts from the mechanism itself to some of its most fundamental consequences. The question is no longer how experience and understanding arise, but what this implies for our understanding of reality.

The points that follow address manifestation as a continuous emergence process, the reversed causality that underlies the theory as a whole, and how this inversion affects classical philosophical problems such as the problem of consciousness and solipsism. It is here that the theory truly parts ways with the materialist worldview and formulates its own ontological premises.

This section can therefore be read as the philosophical turning point of the theory. If the premises established here are accepted, many of the later explanations of physics, consciousness, life and society follow as natural consequences. If they are rejected, large parts of the further edifice fall away. This is therefore among the most important and most fundamental clarifications in the whole of the Mechanism.
