Most frameworks and worldviews have possible scenarios in which they are not true. And, in a metaphysical sense, that makes them literally not true. Naturalism can be false if we live in a simulation; materialism in general could be false if our experiences are dreams of a higher being; most versions of theism falter if their doctrines are inspired by evil forces.

Even if we assume a particular framework is metaphysically true, each has various issues that undermine its legitimacy. Input theory then, is a metaphysical framework that not only claims not to be contradictory, easily undermined or prone to counterexamples, but also claims to solve all issues plaguing philosophy. As grand a claim as it might seem, I am confident I can substantiate it.

The main idea of input theory is that its primitive is, as the name implies, input. Even considering all other counterexamples, evil demons, brains in vats, simulations, input, or experience remains a persistent feature of all such metaphysical systems. Just from input alone, we can rederive familiar concepts and layers, which not only helps us regain metaphysical grounding but also answers questions that philosophy has struggled with for centuries. And it does so in a coherent and satisfactory manner. Unfortunately, the theory is not simple, despite having a simple premise.
