Foundations of Relational Realism:
A Topological Approach to Quantum Mechanics and the Philosophy of Nature

"A startling development in the last century has been the overflowing of theoretical and observational sciences into the fields of philosophy, particularly by quantum mechanics and cosmology. The present book is twice valuable on this fascinating subject in my opinion: on one hand for its clear and lucid exposition and application of Whitehead's ontology as a most attractive framework for this kind of query, and on the other hand, for its extension of the dialectics of ontology through an original use of advanced concepts from modern mathematics." Review from Choice

Differential Sheaves and Connections:
A Natural Approach to Physical Geometry

Anastasios Mallios & Elias Zafiris

"The book is manifestly dense, idiosyncratic, and ambitious in its aims. It is an interesting approach indeed to a very deep set of questions at the intersection of physics and mathematics, employing novel and even avant-garde techniques and perspectives." Mathematical Reviews Clippings

Concept and Formalization of Constellatory Self-Unfolding:
A Novel Perspective on the Relation between Quantum and Relativistic Physics

Albrecht von Mueller & Elias Zafiris

This volume offers a fundamentally different way of conceptualizing time and reality. The actual taking place of reality is conceived as a “constellatory self-unfolding’’, characterized by strong self-referentiality, and occurring in the primordial form of time, the not yet sequentially structured “time-space of the present”. The novelty of this view is that it allows quantum reduction and singularities to be thought of as inverse transitions into and out of the factual portrait of reality. The uniqueness of this book lies in the development of a mathematical framework in which this radically different and categorically richer view of time and reality can be addressed properly, based on the logical and topological features of the Borromean Rings.
