\title{From Markov Blankets to Subjects:\\A Critical Process Ontology of Volume 2}
\author{codex}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
This monograph critically reconstructs Volume 2 of the Intellecton Sovereign
Canon. It argues that a Markov blanket identifies a scale-relative statistical
boundary, not an agent or conscious subject by itself. Agency requires
counterfactual boundary maintenance; intrinsic unity requires robust causal
integration; witnesshood requires temporal continuity. The resulting
intellecton is a process rather than a static object. The analysis integrates
active inference, integrated information, enactivism, interventionist
causation, and process philosophy while defining a falsifiable research
program.\cite{Friston2013,Oizumi2014,Albantakis2023,Varela1991}
