Integrative Realism (formal name: Integrative Dual-Aspect Monism) is a metaphysical system built from two axioms and extended, with no further foundational commitments, across fifteen philosophical domains. The first axiom, the Dual-Aspect Claim, holds that reality has both structural-relational properties, described by physics with cumulative accuracy, and intrinsic properties that are proto-experiential; neither aspect reduces to the other, and the two are ontologically inseparable. The second axiom, the Integration Principle, holds that complexity arises from simplicity through progressive integration, and that no new ontological kind appears except through the integration of simpler elements already present. The system descends from Russellian monism and adds what Russell lacked: a specified intrinsic nature that is proto-experiential and proto-temporal, a principle of motion, a distinction between experiential character and subjectivity that dissolves the hard form of the combination problem, and a complete derivation map. It reframes rather than solves the Hard Problem of consciousness, grounds an ethics by sidestepping the is-ought gap rather than crossing it, and closes with an abductive argument: that one structural motion generated by two axioms organizes fifteen independently derived domains is best explained by the axioms tracking something real. This précis states the axioms, traces the derivations, and locates the position relative to its nearest rivals.
