About Us
We are an independent, science-first research institute advancing a unified, testable framework for how Energy, Environment, and Entropy (E³) generate structure, stability, and adaptive complexity across nature.
Mission
To develop and openly share a rigorous, cross-disciplinary framework that explains natural recursion — from molecules to minds — using only measurable variables and falsifiable hypotheses.
- Publish reproducible models and datasets under open licenses.
- Bridge thermodynamics, biology, and computation with a single language of recursion.
- Turn theory into tools: simulations, visualizations, and decision models.
Scientific Approach
Our work formalizes the E³ model — Energy (drivers), Environment (constraints), and Entropy (equilibrator) — and tests it across domains with scaling laws, network analysis, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
Methods
- Non-equilibrium thermodynamics & transport models
- Fractal geometry & power-law scaling
- Agent-based & network simulations
- Statistical learning for model fit and prediction
Principles
- Fractal recursion across scales
- Nested equilibria/steady states
- Entropy as harmonizer (balance, not decay)
- Emergence via feedback under constraints
Research Pillars
Thermodynamic Foundation
Fractal Entropy → Fractal Equilibrium → Fractal Genesis
Reinterpret entropy and equilibrium, then derive minimal conditions for prebiotic self-organization.
Biological Application
Fractal Evolution → Fractal Mechanics → Fractal Sapience
Scale E³ into evolution, molecular machines, and recurrent intelligence as a thermodynamic attractor.
Systemic Extension
Fractal Consciousness → Fractal Morality → Fractal Spacetime
Model awareness, behavioral dynamics, and theoretical physics using the same recursive formalism.
