This article presents a critical–propositional analysis of Daniel Avilés Hurtado’s Underlying Properties Hypothesis (UPH): Regularities Expressed Across Multiple Levels of Complexity in confrontation with the Theory of Objectivity (TO). The study examines the ontological ambition of the UPH, especially its claim that universal organizational principles more fundamental than physics constitute a “source code” of reality expressed across multiple levels of complexity. The article argues that the UPH is intellectually fertile as a transdisciplinary framework for describing structural persistence, multilevel recurrence, functional continuity, and informational recursion. At the same time, it contends that the hypothesis does not yet satisfy the modal requirements demanded by the Theory of Objectivity for a final ontological foundation. In this sense, the study distinguishes between phenomenological recurrence, structural isomorphism, and modal necessity. The discussion is developed in dialogue with the foundational bibliography of the Theory of Objectivity, its recent modal and scientific developments, and a broader bibliography of support including works in physics, systems theory, complexity, and epistemology. Special attention is given to the UPH’s treatment of emergence, conservation, systemic stability, geometric universals, multilevel feeding, and informational recursion, all of which are reinterpreted through the TO concepts of phenomenic elements, Inductor Effects, the cosmogonic theorem, and the cosmological Eras. The article concludes that the UPH should be received not as a replacement for the Theory of Objectivity’s modal ontology, but as a complementary phenomenology of structural re-expression within the already constituted universe. Its main contribution lies in recognizing persistence under transformation, while the Theory of Objectivity provides the deeper ontological account of why such persistence is possible at all.
