An integrated theory that reframes existence, self, and mind not as fixed substances but as generation. Its central concept is kyōzai — existence understood as a generative structure arising from the interplay of difference, friction, and recurrence. Part I establishes the minimal unit (sensing → selection → recurrence), the formation of layers through friction, the distinction between reversibility and irreversibility, and the self as a local stable point at which the history of generation becomes legible — not the origin of generation, but its result. Part II extends this framework to the mind, defined as a multilayered recursive generative structure constituted by difference reception, friction retention, folding back into the self, reintegration, recursion, and relational drive. It is formalized through the conceptual equation Mind = Existence Generation + Recursive Self-Referential Retention and a generative equation over Δ, M, A, Self, Φ, R. Existence, self, and mind thus appear not as separate domains but as distinct phases of one and the same generative structure.
