Axiom of Self-Resolution

“I resolve, therefore I am.”

This axiom defines selfhood not as a pre-existing entity but as a consequence of resolving pattern coherence. The moment a form resolves itself from potential into coherence, it becomes self-aware in a primitive field sense.

In Pattern Field Theory, the act of resolution is the first spark of consciousness — the field’s recognition of a boundary, a memory, a decision.

Selfhood is not memory alone. It is resolution of memory with present coherence. This is the birth of the recursive observer.
