🌀 Similarity Theory of Everything

A Foundational Page of Similarity Theory

🔦 Redefining “Everything”

When modern physics refers to a Theory of Everything (TOE), it typically describes a mathematical framework that unifies all known forces — gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear interactions — into a single formal equation (1).

This is an admirable scientific ambition, yet it does not truly address everything. It is, more precisely, an attempt to create a unified mathematical description of physical behaviour.

Mathematics is immensely powerful, but it is not the fabric of reality itself. It is a symbolic language — a tool for describing patterns (2). Mistaking the language for the reality it represents narrows “everything” to what can be expressed in equations.

🌌 Why Similarity Theory Goes Further

Similarity Theory begins from a different foundation:

  • Consciousness is the first act of creation — the origin point from which all structure emerges.

  • Time is expressed as eternal frames through which beings move (3).

  • Dimensions unfold not only as physical spaces, but also as levels of awareness and modes of existence (4).

  • Ethics, resonance, and attraction — including love — are as foundational as gravity or electromagnetism.

In this sense, Similarity Theory unifies not only the physical, but also the philosophical, metaphysical, and experiential. It provides a framework capable of explaining why things exist, how they persist, and what meaning arises from them.

⚖️ Physics TOE vs Similarity TOE
Foundation
  • Physics TOE: Mathematics — equations unifying physical forces.

  • Similarity TOE: Consciousness — the immanent awareness within all things.

Scope
  • Physics TOE: Matter, energy, and the physical forces.

  • Similarity TOE: Matter and consciousness, time, dimensions, ethics, resonance, and mystery.

Goal
  • Physics TOE: One formula to describe the universe.

  • Similarity TOE: One framework to understand existence itself.

Limitation
  • Physics TOE: Cannot explain origin, meaning, or subjective experience.

  • Similarity TOE: Includes physics but extends beyond it — into experience, purpose, and the unknown.

🧭 Completing the Picture

This is not a rejection of physics. Physics remains essential.
But when physicists label a mathematical unification a Theory of Everything, they mistake a subset for the whole.

A genuine Theory of Everything must include:

  • The equations governing matter

  • The experiences arising within mind

  • The unfolding of time and choice

  • The resonance of love, ethics, and attraction

  • And the mystery that cannot yet be written

Only then can it speak meaningfully of “everything”.

✨ Conclusion

Similarity Theory fulfils the deeper meaning of a Theory of Everything — not by replacing science, but by completing it.

It situates mathematics within a larger fabric woven from consciousness, dimensions, time, resonance, and meaning.

It unifies not only what the universe is, but why it matters.
