The Meta-Upgrade of Dialectics: From the "General/Specific Framework" to the "Theory of Universal Capital"

This research initiates with a limit operation of thought: to drive the "concept" itself to fulfill its dialectical destiny between absolute universality and infinite specificity. We first forged the "General/Specific" methodological engine to reveal the inherent elastic tension within any category. Then, we applied this framework to "capital"—that quintessential category of Modernity, firmly anchored by history—compelling it to undergo an ontological leap. The resulting "Theory of Universal Capital" is no longer merely a critique of an economic relation but a revelation of a universal law of being: it posits that "to be" is to be an instantiation of "capital," and all interactions are the flow, equilibrium, and transformation of capital within the web of existence, following a value-neutral principle. The aim of this abstraction is to provide an undifferentiated, unified field for all phenomena, from quantum entanglement to interstellar civilization, from physical laws to social justice.
