Demonstrated that this framework reveals a natural cyclicity among canonical dynamical regimes.

Abstract

Euler’s identity e^iθ = cos θ + i sin θ expresses rotation in the complex plane. We extend this identity by replacing the imaginary unit i with an operator J satisfying J² = −I, where J acts on a doubled dynamical state encoding the four fundamental PDE universality classes: elliptic, hyperbolic, parabolic (diffusive), and unitary (Schrodinger-type). This gives the Generalized Euler Identity e^θJ = cos θ I + sin θ J, which performs Wick rotation through physical law itself. This formalism reveals a natural holofractal cyclicity among the canonical dynamical regimes.
