DESCRIPTION Differentics Whitepaper v0.1 EN is the first concise public overview of Differentics - a proposed interdisciplinary scientific framework that studies Difference as the fundamental prerequisite for identification, information, structure, organization, and transformation. Rather than beginning with objects, particles, or information, Differentics starts from the concept of Difference itself, proposing that every observable phenomenon presupposes the existence of distinguishable states. The Whitepaper introduces the conceptual foundations of the discipline, summarizes its axiomatic principles, presents the ADP–TRIFORMER methodological model, outlines the Formal Differentics mathematical framework, and highlights potential applications across artificial intelligence, information theory, systems science, physics, biology, cognitive science, and complex networks. Designed as an accessible introduction to the Differentics research program, this document complements the complete academic publication series while providing researchers, educators, students, and interdisciplinary collaborators with a clear overview of the theory, its objectives, and its future research directions.
