From “ID Photo” to “Genealogy”： Theoretical Construction and Empirical Foundation of the Material Organizational Relational Atlas

Traditional physics excels at precisely describing what matter “is”——measuring its mass, charge, density, and summarizing its behavioral laws with mathematical equations. However, this “ID photo” paradigm has consistently evaded a fundamental question: why has matter grown to be what it is today? This paper proposes that every piece of matter is an evolutionary history of organization spanning billions of years——where it was born, what it experienced, and with whom it had what kinds of relationships. These experiences are not philosophical speculations, but are solidified as organizational memory into electronic configurations, lattice structures, and chemical properties, determining how it interacts today with external relations such as light, magnetism, and force. By systematically reviewing cutting-edge interdisciplinary research findings on material memory effects, large-scale structure of the cosmic web, nucleosynthesis of elements, phylogenetic conservatism of plant elementomes, and isotope tracing, this paper demonstrates the empirical foundation and theoretical feasibility of constructing an “Organizational Relational Atlas of the Universe,” and proposes a three-dimensional theoretical framework including element genealogy, relationship chain tracing, and cross-level relational atlas. Furthermore, based on existing open scientific data——including the NuGrid stellar nucleosynthesis database, COSMOS survey network analysis data, and the StoichLife ecological stoichiometry database——this paper constructs a preliminary conceptual model of this atlas. Research shows that cutting-edge discoveries in multiple scientific fields are converging toward the same direction: the current state of matter cannot be reduced to its static properties, but is the dynamic manifestation of its entire organizational evolutionary history in the current context. Constructing an Organizational Relational Atlas of the Universe is expected to provide a unified “relationship-tracing” analytical paradigm for materials science, cosmology, life sciences, and other fields.
