Abstract

This preprint introduces the Theory of Every Thing (ToET), a universal framework that adapts the Bloch sphere to model the spectrum of existence for any thing in the universe. By representing existence as a continuum from 0 (non-existence) to 1 (full existence), the ToET integrates principles of energy conservation, the golden ratio (φ), and fractal geometry to provide a unified mathematical foundation. Unlike previous unification attempts that focus solely on physical forces, ToET provides a mathematical language for describing state transitions across all disciplines and scales—from subatomic particles to galaxies, from single cells to ecosystems, from individual thoughts to societal movements. The theory demonstrates how numerous already-observed phenomena in nature, from phyllotaxis patterns to galactic structures, follow the mathematical relationships described by ToET. The ToET not only unifies physical and biological systems but also provides a mathematical foundation for understanding ethical dynamics and value optimization in societal systems. This paper presents evidence from existing literature validating the ToET’s predictions across multiple domains, establishing it as a comprehensive framework for understanding the existence and transition states of literally any thing that exists or could exist.
