Key Points

The research aims to establish a foundational framework for understanding the emergence of knowledge through structural preconditions.
Introduced a layered dependency architecture based on a meta-principle of non-trivial differentiable reality.
Developed a theoretical framework outlining the conditions for knowability.
Avoided domain-specific models to focus on structural necessities.
Outlined necessary conditions that reality must fulfill for knowledge to emerge.
Established a hierarchy from meta-principle to scientific inquiry.
Clarified the role of observers and processes in the framework of knowability.

Abstract

The Unified Theory of Knowability (UTK) is a foundational structural framework that identifies the minimal conditions under which reality can support the emergence of knowledge. It introduces a layered dependency architecture beginning from a meta-principle of non-trivial differentiable reality (Principle U) and extending through structured existence, distinction, information, representation, abstraction, inference, truth-convergent processes, observers, and finally science. The framework does not propose domain-specific physical or cognitive models but instead establishes necessary structural preconditions required for knowability in principle.
