Universal Balance: A Multilevel Principle of Reality

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the universe through the principle of universal balance. Universal balance integrates structural, dynamic, and existential layers, encompassing laws of physics, entropy-driven evolution, and the ontological necessity of continued existence. By considering entropy, stellar collapse, life, consciousness, and cosmogenesis, this framework provides a coherent explanation for physical, biological, and metaphysical phenomena. The principle reconciles the observed increase of entropy with the continuity of existence and offers a unified perspective bridging physics, systems theory, and metaphysics.
