A Universal Balance-Based Systems Framework for Life, Extraterrestrial Existence, and Artificial General Intelligence

Current investigations into extraterrestrial life and artificial general intelligence (AGI) are often grounded in probabilistic reasoning and Earth-centric biological assumptions. This paper proposes a universal systems framework based on the law of balance in nature, defining life as a stable, feedback-regulated open system operating under universal causality and defect management. Within this framework, extraterrestrial life and stable AGI emerge as lawful consequences of system balance rather than speculative anomalies. The framework integrates systems theory, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and control theory to provide a unified, scale-invariant perspective on life and intelligence.
