Abstract

UGSF (Unified Generative Systems Framework) introduces a structural, generative architecture for understanding how systems form, differentiate, and evolve. The framework integrates three layers: (1) generative asymmetry as the minimal condition for system formation, (2) GENAB as the generative abstraction method that transforms asymmetry into structured differentiation, and (3) AMS (Architectural Meta‑Synthesis) as the method for constructing coherent systemic architectures from generative components. This preprint formalizes the generative conditions underlying system formation, provides a unified architectural model, and outlines how UGSF can be applied across cognitive, computational, organizational, and conceptual domains. The work positions UGSF as a foundational framework for understanding generativity, abstraction, and systemic structure.
