**Becoming: A Unified Framework Derived from Three Axioms — Integrated Edition (v12) ** This work presents "Becoming", a unified ontological and physical framework constructed from three minimal axioms: (1) 1 is, (2) Being implies distinction, and (3) The imperfection cannot be eliminated. From these axioms, the theory derives a primordial geometric unit — the horn-torus "bead" (PBU) with Z₂ formation field reversal at the neck — and a formation-cost substrate (PBU-plasma) that underlies all structure. The framework derives, with no or minimal free parameters at the structural level: - Planck-scale geometry and the FCC lattice substrate- The Standard Model gauge group SU (3) ×SU (2) ×U (1) - The fine structure constant α, lepton masses via the Koide relation, Higgs boson mass (via formation-cost β-function), and other particle physics parameters- Spacetime metric, Kerr black hole geometry, and a bilateral hyperboloid cosmology (HBU) with exact relations for the cosmological constant (Λ rH² = 2) - A unified substrate explanation for gravity as compression in the plasma medium Notably, the same formation-cost architecture and saliency defect are extended to higher scales, yielding structural derivations for: - The nature of consciousness and awareness (as the derivative of resolution events) - Life as closure maintenance- Mechanisms for multiple sclerosis and cancer (including a conceptual "Symphonist" bioluminescent device for solid tumor intervention) - Trauma processing, psychological distortion, and self-provision- A quantitative "sovereignty rate" analysis of modern society (~6. 1%) Every major claim includes explicit category designations (A = logical necessity; B/B-id = bridge open) and falsification conditions. The theory emphasizes that the irreducible imperfection is not a flaw but the generative engine of existence, structure, and becoming across all scales. This integrated edition combines the core physics derivations with their philosophical, biological, and human-scale consequences. It was developed independently over several years, much of it while the author was homeless, working on a broken smartphone. **Version: ** v12 (includes closure of the Higgs boson mass via formation-cost βFC) **Keywords: ** unified theory, quantum gravity, formation cost, bead geometry, consciousness, cancer mechanism, cosmology, first-principles physics
