LetterfromAntoineArnauldtoGottfriedLeibniz[1]. Abstract The problem of cancer is examined from the metaphysical standpoint of essence and ground. An essentialist definition of cancer is assumed that would be valid in all possible worlds in which cancer could logically exist. The grounds of cancer are then examined and elucidated. Two grounding cancer properties are identifiedanddiscussed:symmetry-breakingandcomputationalintelligence.Each examination leads to concrete conclusions for novel therapeutic approaches and a morefundamentalunderstandingofwhatcancerisatbottom.Otherpossiblecancer grounding properties related to evolution, adaptability and stochastic features are identified for future work. This approach is novel and offers new solutions to the problemofcancer. · · · · Keywords Cancer Intelligence Symmetry-breaking Computation Ground 1 Introduction Identifying a solution to the unsolved problem of cancer is currently based on a program of scientific reductionism, in which each new solution attempt provides temporarypatientbenefituntiltheoncologistandthefieldofoncologyitselfreaches the end of yet another box canyon.1 In 1990 5.7 million people died from cancer worldwide; in 2017 the number of deaths increased to 9.6 million.
