The main question we aim to investigate is as follows: can it be asserted that there exists a theory of knowledge, an epistemology, developed by Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989) that underpins his theses on physical, vital, psychic, collective, and technical individuation? From this, we can derive two other important questions: if we assume that this epistemology exists, would it be closer to a historical reading of the concept of the individual or to the concepts of first-wave cybernetics? How would it relate to the concepts of form, information, structure, and operation? These questions are grounded in others that emerge from the analysis of the concepts present in the main thesis and the complementary thesis, which constitute the central theoretical body of Simondonian philosophy. Thus, the research aims to define the concepts of form, information, structure, operation, allagmatics, technical object, technology, and work, as well as their relationships with the very definitions of knowledge and the individual. All these terms, articulated within these two texts, appear in a more exploratory manner in preliminary and preparatory texts dating back to 1952, that is, six years prior to
