EXPLAINING THE UNIVERSE THROUGH OPERATORS

An Approach Based on Foundational Law and Intrinsic State-Update Mechanisms Author: Phan Thành Trung Abstract This paper proposes a general theoretical framework for describing the universe not through phenomenological imagery or surface-level representations, but through its intrinsic dynamical structure via the concept of the operator . Instead of treating forces, fields, or objects as fundamental entities, we argue that the true foundational law of the universe is the state-update rule , formally represented as an evolution operator. Within this framework, physical objects, structures, and consciousness are understood as eigenstates of a foundational operator, while evolution emerges from the misalignment between the current state and this operator. This approach provides a unified language for physics, biology, and cognition as different manifestations of a single abstract dynamical
