Explores unified theory in complex systems, suggesting new insights into interconnections.
This paper completes the dimensional upgrade from "formed single agent" to "cross-scale unified theory" based on the core framework of General Agent Dynamics (LING Zhili, 2026). Through the "component variant deduction" method, we generate an eight-level variant spectrum ranging from absolutely passive objects to perfect hierarchical dynamic equilibrium systems, and substitute the dynamic equations into each variant for verification, confirming that parameter changes strictly correspond to qualitative changes in system behavior. This spectrum fully maps the entire process of human mental development from newborns to early adulthood at the individual level, and is equally applicable to relational systems composed of multiple agents at the system level—their evolution from statistical aggregation states to institutional rule-of-law states. On this basis, this paper deeply analyzes six structural connections between individual systems and relational systems: component isomorphism, bidirectional co-construction, developmental synchronization, conflict resonance, regulatory synergy, and evolutionary lock-in, revealing the inherent mechanism by which they mutually penetrate and reinforce each other driven by "conflict minimization". Finally, this paper demonstrates the possibility of this framework as a unified theory: it possesses a consistent first principle, a set of cross-scale portable core components, forms a high degree of isomorphism with the frontiers of multiple independent disciplines, and provides testable quantitative predictions based on mathematizable dynamic equations. This framework provides a new dynamic meta-language for understanding the unified evolutionary logic from physical systems to living systems, from individual minds to human civilization.
