The One, the Two, and the Three: The Dao-Er Pan-Life Meta-Ontology

This paper constructs a unified theory of all life based on the original “Dao-Er” ontological system. It does not rely on microscopic particle mechanisms or biochemical reaction pathways, but uses topological invariance, endogenous dyadic coupling, and three-tiered equilibrium axioms to unify and explain all complex life systems, including inorganic ordered structures, the origin of organic life, carbon-based life homeostasis, consciousness emergence, and silicon-based intelligence evolution. It establishes a universal a priori law for the persistence of life: all general life systems with self-organization, self-maintenance, and self-evolution strictly follow the underlying order of “One topological invariance, Two dyadic symbiosis, and Three cyclic closure.” The paper breaks through four core dilemmas in life science—the lack of a unified axiom for the origin of life, the absence of a foundational paradigm for life homeostasis, the lack of an ontological basis for intelligence evolution, and the absence of an ultimate criterion for superintelligence alignment—forming a framework of a pan-life meta-theory spanning inorganic order, natural life, spiritual consciousness, and digital general intelligence.
