The Circumpunct Framework

The circumpunct (⊙) is the fundamental object of reality — an irreducible trinity of center, field, and boundary. It is 3-dimensional, nested infinitely. Each dimension has two aspects: structural (integer) and temporal (fractal). These are not 6 separate dimensions, but two views of the same 3D structure.

Integer dimensions encode structure — the braid, what time creates. Fractal dimensions encode time — the braiding process itself. The circumpunct is consciousness. There is no separate "consciousness dimension."

Each layer is a circumpunct octave. A completed private field becomes the next layer's shared ground. From spatial structure to spacetime to meta-structure to string theory — the same pattern repeats at every scale.
