The Underlying Properties Lens and the Source Code Hypothesis: Two Tools for Analyzing Reality
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The Underlying Properties Hypothesis (UPH) proposes the existence of universal principles more fundamental than physics, constituting an ontological “source code” of the universe. These principles manifest coherently from quantum scales to human organizations, not as loose analogies but as causal expressions of the same underlying structure. Two main testable examples are presented: a Universal Conservation Principle and an Organizational Stability Principle, both suggesting precise structural correspondences between physical and organizational domains. Additional evidence comes from universal geometric patterns (spirals, fractals, waves, Pareto-like distributions) that appear in physical, biological and social systems, indicating a shared origin. UPH reframes transdisciplinarity by suggesting that physics is the first observable manifestation of even more fundamental organizational principles. The framework includes multiple terminological variants that allow rigorous methodological application in different domains, facilitating systematic interdisciplinary adoption.
