Energy-Efficiency Theory, Volume I: The Operating Mechanism of the Universe

Abstract This first volume of Energy-Efficiency Theory establishes the ontological foundation for a unified framework that traces the operation of the universe from energy to matter, field, life, and agency. Based on three irreducible axioms—energy as the sole ontology, existence as the result of energy maintenance, and the natural tendency of energy to diffuse from constrained to free states—the book demonstrates that all existences are specific forms of energy under constraints. It introduces the universal grammar of system operation: the Energy-Efficiency Cycle (disturbance → response energy → maintenance energy → constraint → transition). From this grammar, the book derives the concepts of matter…
