A Unified Field of Emergence

Section 3: Core Principles

By Brian Miller

The Structure of Everything Interaction (SEI) is governed by a set of core principles that guide the behavior of emergent systems and define the relational logic underlying all physical and metaphysical structures. These principles operationalize the foundational postulates into actionable dynamics.

1. Interaction is Primary

All reality arises from interaction, not from static particles, fields, or substances. Entities are the consequences of structured interaction layers. SEI positions interaction as ontologically prior to form.

2. Polarity Generates Tension

Dualities such as matter-antimatter, subject-object, or energy-entropy represent polar components \( A \) and \( B \). The difference between them generates tension that drives transformation through \( X \).

3. Mediation Creates Consequence

The mediating field \( X \) resolves or refracts the tension between \( A \) and \( B \), producing consequence \( C \):

$$C = f(A, B, X)$$

This function is dynamic, nonlinear, and domain-dependent.

4. Time Emerges from Differential Change

Time is not absolute; it is a gradient of transformation shaped by the rate of change within \( X \) across the polar framework:

$$T_{SEI} = \frac{\delta X}{\delta(A - B)}$$

5. Geometry Reflects Structural Interaction

What appears as geometry — from the shape of an atom to the curvature of spacetime — is a secondary product of triadic interaction fields. SEI curvature models replace mass-based curvature with tension-based emergence:

$$R^{\mu\nu}_{SEI} = \Gamma^{\mu}_{\alpha\beta}(X) - \Gamma^{\nu}_{\beta\alpha}(X)$$

6. Coherence Arises from Shared Structure

Entanglement and nonlocal coherence are not anomalies — they are signatures of shared interaction fields:

$$\psi_{AB} = \psi_A \otimes \psi_B + \phi(X)$$

7. Emergence is Recursive

SEI structures build upon themselves recursively. Consequence \( C \) at one level becomes a polarity component \( A \) or \( B \) at a higher level. This accounts for complexity and hierarchy across scales.

These core principles define the logic by which SEI operates as a unified theory — bridging quantum, relativistic, cognitive, and metaphysical domains within a consistent generative architecture.
