TOE-E 0.0.0: Foundations

Abstract

This branch defines the foundational framing of the TOE-E project. It introduces the E (Energy), S (Entropy), and R (Resonance) triad as universal constants applicable across physical, biological, and cognitive domains. The model is recursive, scalable, and intended as the seed framework from which specialized branches emerge (e.g., physics, biology, cognition). Predictions are left broad, focusing on universality: any viable TOE-E branch must map its domain-specific definitions of E, S, and R back to this universal core. Falsifiability: If a system is found where E, S, R cannot be coherently defined, the framework fails.
