Self-Reference Generation Principle A; Self-Reference Generation Principle and the Three-Layer Structure of Physics: An Open Theoretical Framework
Abstract
This paper proposes the Self-Reference Generation Principle as a foundationalframework for unifying physics. By constructing a three-layer structure of recursivealgebra, fractal geometry, and topological order, it reveals how physical laws emergefrom self-referential closed loops. The recursive algebra layer generates an energyscale hierarchy via crossed products, with its scaling factor locked to an exponentialform by the self-referential closed loop. The fractal geometry layer describes the flowof spacetime dimension, establishing a logarithmic relation between dimension andenergy scale. The topological order layer characterizes the algebraic classificationof matter fields via modular tensor categories, with its central charge coupled tothe scaling factor of the recursive layer through self-referential conditions. Unlikeclosed parameterized theories, this framework deliberately leaves three intrinsicopen questions: the physical limit of recursive depth, the universal scaling law oflayer phase transitions, and the reconstruction mechanism after rupture. Thesegrowth interfaces endow the theory with continuous inquiry rather than providingultimate answers. This work offers a new research program for understanding theorigin of physical parameters and points the way for future experimental tests.
