The proliferation of digital objects—such as social profiles, cryptocurrencies, and avatars—challenges traditional ontological frameworks premised on physical substance. Existing approaches often commit a form of ontological reductionism, reducing these objects to either their physical substrate (hardware) or an abstract concept (information). Consequently, they fail to provide a robust foundation for analyzing the concrete legal and ethical implications of these entities. To address this deficit, this study employs a postphenomenological methodology to propose a relational and multistable ontology for understanding the mode of being of digital objects. The findings reveal that the being of a digital object is not intrinsic or static. Instead, it is dynamically constituted through three primary relations, contingent upon the context of human-technology interaction: an embodiment relation (as an extension of the self), a hermeneutic relation (as an interpretable text), and an alterity relation (as a quasi-other). The primary contribution of this research is a framework that transcends the simplistic real/virtual dichotomy. It provides a more precise philosophical foundation for addressing emerging issues such as virtual identity, digital ownership, and the moral agency of artificial intelligence, ultimately shifting the inquiry from what a digital object is to how it is experienced.
