Graham Harman
Objects withdraw from their relations — flat ontology, the end of correlationism

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Graham Harman
Conventional modern.
Space
Graham Harman
Relational — space is constituted by the patterns of object-relation.
Matter
Graham Harman
Substantival in a radicalised sense — every object is irreducibly real.
Observer
Graham Harman
A single embodied person irreducible to her relations. Metaphysical agency: None — OOO is a flat ontology.
Energy
Graham Harman
Conventional modern.
Information
Graham Harman
Substantival — information about objects is itself an object-relation.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
OOO has been criticised by Marxists and feminist philosophers for what they read as a hyper-inflation of ontological commitment — if everything is equally an object, ontological distinctions lose their work.
