A Universal Collapse Framework: From Ontological Limits to Emergent Physical Reality

AbstractWe present a synthetic overview of a universal collapse framework in which physical realityis described as an emergent structure arising from an ontological limit. Rather than assumingtime, matter, or gravity as fundamental entities, the framework organizes their emergencethrough successive layers: the Theory of Nothing, emergent time, a scalar geometric field,structural residues, and a universal classification scheme. This article consolidates the conceptualarchitecture of the theory and situates its technical formulation within a coherent ontologicalnarrative, providing a unified entry point to the full body of associated works.
