The Duality Theory of the Single Universe

The Duality Theory of the Single Universe (DT) proposes that reality emerges from the perpetual interaction of two primordial, irreducible forces: F1, the centripetal, integrative, and aggregative force, and F2, the centrifugal, dispersive, and differentiating force. Rejecting monism, pure randomness, and rigid binarism, DT argues that the observable universe arises from the dynamic tension and occasional synergy between these co-present forces. Drawing on religious traditions (Asha-Drugh, light-darkness, Yin-Yang), mathematics, social and legal systems, biology, physics, and cosmology, the theory reveals recurring dual structures that reflect a deeper F1-F2 architecture. Foundational principles - sequential gradualism, duality interval, duality gap, alteration, and duality synergy - are offered to explain the emergence of ordered complexity. DT further posits that duality is a permanent feature of the created world and the primary epistemological lens through which human cognition interprets reality. DT offers an internally coherent model that reconciles ancient wisdom with modern inquiry, though it is not uniformly compatible with the standard model of particle physics. DT generates testable predictions and provides a generative compass for fields including artificial intelligence, legal philosophy, and institutional design.
