Abstract The increasing hyperspecialization of modern science has led to the formation of disciplinary silos, limiting the transfer of foundational logic and experimental insight across fields (Snow, 1959; Galison, 1997; Frodeman, 2014). This paper proposes a Universal Meta-Framework composed of interconnected research pillars, organized into a four-tier hierarchy: Atomic Hardware, Physical Dynamics, Macro Systems, and Intelligence Goldenfeld Phillips et al., 2012). It acknowledges the resolution spectrum of scientific investigation—from low-cost exploratory probes to high-definition specialized instrumentation—and provides strategic guidance for when each approach yields maximum exploratory potential (Burian, 2007; Galison, 1997; Wimsatt, 2007). The roadmap is intentionally designed to support independent and citizen researchers by enabling hypothesis generation and cross-domain exploration through repeated, localized experimentation (Bonney et al., 2014; Pearce, 2012; Chagas et al., 2017). Over time, accumulated case studies may provide indirect evidence of deep structural connectivity across scientific domains, without requiring absolute or total proof (Cartwright, 1999; Wimsatt, 2007; Kellert et al., 2006). This approach democratizes the process of scientific insight while maintaining rigorous empirical grounding (National Academies, 2018; Delfanti, 2013).
