This paper synthesizes the previous four papers in the “Cross-Scale Unification of Energy-Efficiency Theory” series, arguing that existence is the nesting and unfolding of buffers at different levels. It unifies the three selves—energy entity, living organism, conscious subject—into a single framework and answers the three philosophical questions: I come from energy; I am life; I go toward questioning.
