Jack, List: An OpenAI account is required for the link, which I do not have. If you sincerely desire my feedback on your alleged "proof," then please provide your summary (formal argumentation) in a List post. Note that even if its conclusions are deductively *valid*, it is not *sound *unless all its terminology is clear (not vague) and consistent (not equivocal), and all its premisses are true. I suspect that there will continue to be disagreement, especially about that last requirement.
One immediate comment is that "thing in itself" and "essence" are not synonymous as employed historically within philosophy/metaphysics. Demonstrating that every dynamical object of a sign has an "essence" that makes it what it is would not be the same as demonstrating that it is ultimately an incognizable "thing in itself." Like "value," these terms seem to be central to your "proof" and thus need rigorous definitions for how they are being used in this particular context.
