This work presents a fundamental paradigm reconstruction at the intersection of philosophy of science, foundational physics, and economics. It redefines core concepts of energy flow and systemic evolution, using logical deduction and historical induction rather than quantitative data. The framework aims to unify explanations for both natural and socioeconomic systems. Based on the self-organizing dynamics of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) oscillatory reaction and the laws of thermodynamic entropy, this paper constructs a system energy level model of unipolar and multipolar social structures. The research finds that a unipolar society is naturally locked in a low-temperature and low-energy steady state, with a physical ceiling for its wealth carrying capacity and scientific innovation vitality, tending inevitably toward low-level circulation and even resource scarcity in long-term evolution. By contrast, a multipolar society can maintain a high-temperature and high-energy steady state with higher wealth accommodation capacity and system evolution potential. Breaking the phenomenological induction framework of traditional institutional economics, this paper reduces the rise and fall of societies and economic upper limits to the underlying physical laws of complex systems. Through the evolutionary process of the BZ reaction, it visually verifies the inevitability of the transition from a unipolar society to a multipolar society.
