This work proposes that time is not a fundamental cause but an emergent consequence of matter’s self-organization. At the deepest level, matter and spacetime possess complete temporal symmetry, allowing bidirectional time. As matter becomes increasingly complex — from particles to macroscopic structures and living systems — this symmetry progressively breaks. The breaking of temporal symmetry gives rise to irreversibility, memory, decoherence, the arrow of time, and the emergence of classical reality. Within this framework, classical matter represents only a tiny, chiral, (...) asymmetrical fraction of a deeper racemic quantum domain existing in dual time. The visible universe arises as a projection — a “shadow” — of this temporally symmetric metastructure. From this perspective, relativity may be interpreted as a special, effectively classical case of quantum mechanics, emerging from higher-order organizational processes. Temporal self-organization thus provides a unified conceptual pathway linking quantum mechanics, relativity, matter–antimatter asymmetry, and the cosmological constant. Although this work does not claim to provide a complete unified theory, it offers a conceptual reorientation: a shift that replaces numerous disconnected explanatory “epicycles” with a simpler underlying principle based on temporal self-organization. Within this perspective, several seemingly independent phenomena — including the arrow of time, matter–antimatter asymmetry, decoherence, and the small positive cosmological constant — may be understood as different manifestations of a single fundamental process: the breaking of an underlying bidirectional temporal symmetry.

Unified Phase Field Theory (UFT) is proposed as a unified field theory in which a single phase field constitutes the fundamental physical entity. Within this framework, spacetime geometry, gauge interactions, and matter arise as effective manifestations of phase dynamics, internal phase symmetries, and phase topology. The theory is formulated on a four-dimensional spacetime and does not require the introduction of additional spacetime dimensions. The role traditionally attributed to extra dimensions is instead played by a nontrivial internal phase structure. A single (...) invariant action is introduced from which the equations governing gravitational, gauge, and matter sectors are derived. General relativity emerges as a stationary phase limit, gauge theories arise as gradient regimes of phase dynamics, and matter is interpreted as topologically stable phase defects. The theory is shown to be dynamically consistent, energetically stable, and causally well-defined. Unified Phase Field Theory reproduces known fundamental interactions as effective limits and yields a minimal set of falsifiable predictions spanning cosmological, astrophysical, and laboratory scales. The observed chiral nature of matter is interpreted as a consequence of phase topology, while the existence and evolution of physical structures are understood as sequences of phase transitions. The present work establishes UFT as a completed unified field theory at the level of version v1.0, possessing internal closure and a clearly defined scope of applicability. (shrink)

This work proposes a minimal structural framework for the foundations of quantum mechanics based on the existence of a symmetric, atemporal informational substrate — the Central Order. Within this framework, time is defined as the sequential emergence of minimal fractal differentiations of an underlying symmetry. A quantum state is interpreted as a configuration of incomplete differentiation, which naturally gives rise to superposition, interference, and entanglement. From these geometric–informational principles we derive the necessity of linearity, complex structure, norm preservation, and operator-based (...) evolution. It is shown that (i) additivity of differentiations enforces linearity, (ii) the fractal nature of temporal steps requires a first-order time derivative, (iii) preservation of the norm follows from the global symmetry of origin, and (iv) the generator of evolution must be anti-Hermitian, yielding an Hermitian Hamiltonian. Taken together, these constraints uniquely lead to the Schrödinger equation. Classical behavior and quantum nonlocality emerge as different limits of the same process of differentiation. In this formulation, quantum mechanics ceases to rely on postulates and instead arises as the structurally inevitable dynamics of fractal symmetry-breaking. (shrink)

This work proposes a phase field theory as a deeper level of description of fundamental interactions, within which gravitation, gauge fields, and matter emerge as effective manifestations of a single phase structure. The fundamental object of the theory is a phase field, while the conventional fields of standard theories are interpreted as local phase excitations and topological defects. It is shown that gauge symmetries naturally arise as the algebra of phase transformations, whereas fermions emerge as stable phase defects possessing spinor (...) properties and fermionic statistics. Quantization of the phase leads to massless and massive modes that determine interactions and material degrees of freedom. The cosmological dynamics of the phase field reproduces the main observed regimes of cosmic evolution, including inflation, dark matter, and dark energy, without introducing additional fundamental fields. Standard quantum field theories and general relativity are shown to arise as effective limits of the phase theory under appropriate conditions. Observable consequences and the limits of applicability of the proposed framework are discussed. (shrink)

We propose a phase-based framework for the origin of classical matter, space, and time grounded in the concept of metamatter and its ensemble, fractal dynamics. In contrast to standard approaches, spacetime is not postulated as a fundamental background but emerges as an effective regime of partial actualization resulting from a sequence of phase transitions. The theory is formulated in terms of competing entropy and negentropy contributions unified by an effective phase functional which governs the direction of evolution, self-organization, and the (...) selection of stable regimes through dissipation. Within this framework, quantum mechanics, nonlocality, entanglement, dark matter, dark energy, and gravity are interpreted as manifestations of different phases or projections of the same underlying ensemble dynamics. Holography, black holes, and cosmological limits are described as boundary or reverse phase regimes in which local spacetime description breaks down while information remains preserved beyond geometric representation. The resulting phase cycle provides a unified picture of cosmological evolution and its limiting states. The proposed scheme does not constitute a complete field theory but establishes a rigorous ontological and formal foundation for its future construction, offering a coherent pre-field-theoretic framework for the fractal dynamics of matter.

In this work, the Standard Model of particle physics is examined within the framework of Unified Phase Field Theory (UFT), a unified phase-based field theory in which all fundamental interactions and matter share a common phase origin. It is shown that the Standard Model is not a fundamental theory but arises as an effective phase–algebraic regime realized under specific conditions of phase dynamics and topology. The gauge symmetries of the Standard Model are interpreted as manifestations of an internal phase algebra, (...) while the product structure of the gauge group is understood as a consequence of the modular organization of phase space. The chirality of matter receives a natural explanation as a topological property of phase defects, and fermionic statistics together with spinorial structure are derived from the global geometry of the phase field. It is emphasized that the Standard Model is reproduced in UFT without introducing additional spacetime dimensions and without postulating independent fundamental fields. The focus of the work is placed on the structural origin of gauge symmetries, chirality, and matter, whereas detailed phenomenology is intentionally left beyond the scope of the present analysis. The results obtained fix the conceptual status of the Standard Model as an emergent effective theory within Unified Phase Field Theory and complement the previously established phase-based foundation for the unification of fundamental interactions.

This work presents a minimal phase-field formulation of metamatter designed as an intermediate theoretical framework between phase-based ontology and a future unified field theory. A scalar phase field is introduced to parametrize local regimes of actualization without assuming a pre-existing spacetime or physical time. The proposed dynamics are governed by a minimal action incorporating entropy–negentropy competition, which naturally selects stable physical regimes. Quantum coherence and superposition emerge as linear limits of phase dynamics under incomplete actualization, while classical locality, physical time, (...) and spacetime geometry arise through phase stabilization. Gravity is interpreted as a geometric response to phase gradients, and dark matter and dark energy are described as consequences of persistently non-localized and globally unactualized phase regimes. The formulation does not claim full unification but establishes a clean and internally consistent dynamical layer after which a unified field theory of metamatter becomes logically and structurally unavoidable.

The origin of life is commonly treated as a biochemical anomaly or as the result of a rare coincidence of favorable conditions. In this work, a fundamentally different framework is proposed, in which life is defined as a stable nonequilibrium phase state of matter. Within this approach, the emergence of life is understood not as a singular chemical event, but as a phase transition driven by extreme entropy production and subsequent negentropic self-organization. It is argued that the decisive physical environment (...) for this transition is the nanodust phase formed at the interface between planetary matter and interplanetary space under conditions of mega-impacts, intense meteoritic bombardment, and accompanying cosmic ionizing radiation. These processes lead to catastrophic fragmentation of macroscopic crystalline structures, plasma formation, aerosol condensation, and continuous traversal of matter across a broad spectrum of phase states. A central role is assigned to proton invasion, which acts as a global entropic factor producing persistent deviation from equilibrium. Life is interpreted as a stabilizing response of matter to proton overload, realized through partial proton assimilation, sustained energy dissipation, and the formation of stable nonequilibrium regimes. Both first-order and second-order phase transitions are essential: the former provide repeated structural restructuring, while the latter enable symmetry breaking, collective behavior, chirality, and self-organization. In contrast to local terrestrial scenarios restricted to narrow physical conditions, the nanodust scenario spans an exceptionally wide phase-space—from plasma to solid and liquid-crystalline phases, and from temperatures of millions of degrees to cryogenic conditions. This breadth makes the phase transition toward living matter statistically expected rather than exceptional. (shrink)

Sexual reproduction remains one of the most fundamental unsolved problems in evolutionary biology. Classical explanations emphasize genetic recombination and variability, yet they do not fully explain why sexual reproduction persists despite its high energetic cost and apparent inefficiency relative to asexual strategies. In this paper, we propose a new theoretical framework in which sex is interpreted as a virtualized model of the struggle for existence, formed after the emergence of individual somatic death. We argue that once mortality became an intrinsic (...) feature of multicellular life, natural selection required a predictive and simulational arena in which adaptive strategies could be tested without immediate lethal risk. This function was provided by the nervous system through internal modeling of interaction, uncertainty, and boundary conditions. Sexual interaction, in this framework, represents a structured virtual arena where behavioral strategies critical for real survival are tested, filtered, and optimized. Over evolutionary time, real survival and reproductive behavior became structurally convergent, leading to the emergence of a unified behavioral architecture. We define this state as pansexuality, not as a psychological orientation, but as an evolutionary property of cognition in which the organism relates to others through a single adaptive algorithm shaped by both survival and reproduction. Death functions as the shared boundary condition organizing both arenas: physical death in the real environment and evolutionary exclusion in the reproductive domain. This convergence explains the persistence of sex, the co-evolution of nervous systems and reproductive behavior, and the deep integration of survival strategies with sexual dynamics. The proposed model offers a unified explanation for the origin of sex, the evolutionary role of death, and the emergence of pansexual behavioral organization as a fundamental principle of biological economy.
