What Spherepop Is Spherepop is simultaneously:

a formal calculus for event-sourced structure, a visual programming model based on nested scopes (“bubbles”), and a foundational alternative to set-theoretic thinking. Meaning, identity, and computation arise from what has been done, not from timeless axioms.


Core Ideas (Short Version) 1. Events before objects Nothing exists by assumption. Objects, relations, and identities exist only if introduced by events.

2. Part–whole instead of membership Spherepop replaces set membership (∈) with a time-indexed part-of relation, built incrementally from events.

3. Event-sourced semantics All structure arises from a replayable log of irreversible operations:

Pop — eliminate an option by resolving it Refuse — exclude an option by commitment Bind — impose dependency without elimination Collapse — identify distinctions to simplify history Meld — synthesize parallel histories into one future Existence is historical, not axiomatic.

4. Identity is historical Two things are the same if they have the same event history. There is no notion of identity independent of construction.

5. No classical paradoxes Russell-style paradoxes cannot arise because Spherepop has:

no global membership relation, no unrestricted comprehension, no predicate-generated objects. If something exists, you can point to the event that made it.

6. Scales with reality, not hypotheticals Spherepop replaces power sets and hypothetical infinity with linear event logs. Complexity grows with what actually happens, not with what could have happened.

Spherepop as a Visual Language Spherepop also exists as an interactive visual system.

Expressions are drawn as nested bubbles (scopes). Each bubble represents a local context or subexpression. Popping a bubble explicitly evaluates that scope. Computation proceeds by deliberate traversal, not automation. This makes scope, order of evaluation, and dependency visible.
