Five Axioms of Universal Evolution: A Cross-Domain Unified Framework
Abstract
This project presents a meta-theoretical framework for cosmic evolution, derived from long-term observation of nature and human society — not from mathematical derivation or physical assumptions. The current version (v6.0) presents the framework as six observations: - Observation Zero: All Is Number — The only channel through which humans understand the universe is numerical structure. - Observation One: Uniqueness of Evolution — No absolute repetition exists. - Observation Two: Recapitulation of Program — History must be recapitulated; stages cannot be skipped. - Observation Three: Unity of Stability and Complexity — Complexity generates stability. - Observation Four: Class Repeatability — A stable class depends on internal repeatability. - Observation Five: Ecological Necessity — No isolated systems exist; everything is nested in ecological networks. Each observation is accompanied by detailed branches, everyday examples, physical foundations, and falsifiability conditions with illustrative examples. The framework is presented not as final truth, but as a map — an invitation for readers to test, question, or refine it. Version Note: v6.0 is the final version of the observation-based framework. Earlier versions (v1.2 to v5.0) documented the evolution from "Three Axioms" to "Five Axioms" to "Six Observations". The complete version history is documented in Version history_CN.md / Version history_EN.md within the project.
