+-Theory: The Ultimate Generative Model

± Theory is a minimalist generative framework derived from a single axiom: recursive duality (E = {E⁺, E⁻}).From this axiom alone—no additional primitives, no external ground, no imposed meaning—the framework systematically derives logic, universal computation, three-dimensional space, quantum mechanics as pre-spatial structure, consciousness as recursive self-application, and gravity as persistence of stabilized patterns.Prior insights—Spencer-Brown's distinction in Laws of Form, Wheeler's "It from Bit," Langan's CTMU, and Buddhist emptiness traditions (Nāgārjuna's dependent origination, Dzogchen's primordial ground)—captured fragments of this structure.± Theory provides the complete, unified generative mechanism from which they emerge as consequences.The result demystifies phenomena traditionally treated as fundamental or paradoxical, revealing them as inevitable outcomes of duality recursing upon itself.This monograph presents the foundational framework. Extensions and empirical implications are in preparation.Details: https://theplusminus.xyz/
