What Is, and How to Do, Science: A Circular-Linear Theory of Everything
Science is an entity and a process, comprised of many sub-entities and processes. There is a co-dependent relationship between entity and process, in (as) science, and otherwise, where entity and process (form and substance) cannot occur without each other.
There is also a more general co-dependent relationship between noun and verb (where noun and verb are alternate words for entity and process), where noun and verb cannot occur without each other.
There is also an even more general co-dependent relationship between one and two (where one and two are alternate words for entity and process or noun and verb), where one and two cannot occur without each other.
That is, science is both entity and process (noun and verb, one and two), where you cannot have one without the other.
You can notice, if you choose to, that is, you can observe, science is (as) an entity, or a process, or both. You can separate entity from process or you can join them. You can also notice, or observe, entity is (always) process. You can also notice, or observe, process is (always) entity.
If you decide to make the observation that entity is process (science is both discipline and behavior) you have, perhaps, unknowingly, unified science.
The entity-process relationship in (as) science, in (as) noun-verb, in (as) one-two, is ubiquitous and foundational in any (all) entities and processes.
This is the (a) theory-of-everything. This theory-of-everything depends on (demands, is in a co-dependent relationship with) you (the observer, an observer).
Within science, there are many sub-entities and sub-processes which also share co- and, then, multi-dependent relationships with the (an) overall science entity and process.
That is entity as entity and process, is comprised of many sub-entities as sub-entities and sub-processes (where sub-entities and sub-processes can be viewed as either entities or processes, and where sub-entities and processes also share a co-dependent relationship with each other and with the entity and-or process within which it (they) is (are) subsumed).
The process or discipline of untangling co-dependent entities and processes is what we normally know as science. We also know this process as philosophy (religion).
That is noun is noun and verb, comprised of many sub-nouns and sub-verbs (where sub-nouns and sub-verbs can be viewed as either nouns or verbs).
And (or), one is one and two, comprised of many sub-ones and sub-twos (where sub-ones and sub-twos can be viewed as either ones or twos).
What we’re left with, in science terminology, is x, everything that is not x (y), and the co-dependent relationship between them (you cannot have x if there is no non-x):
X ≠ Y (= ≠ ≠)
X = Y (= = ≠)
The symbols above illustrate entity is not process yet entity is process where entity and process are different yet the same.
That is, you cannot have x without y unless x is y.
The idea of x is y, or x equals y, is the foundation for science and also, not surprising, actually, the (a) theory-of-everything for reality (all x’s and y’s).
The co-dependent relationship in science and elsewhere between entity and process, whether or not they are symbolized as noun and verb, one and two, x and y, equal and unequal (any two words, numbers, symbols), is circular.
That is, there is a circular relationship within (as) science between entity and process. The circle (as entity and process) then, is the foundational entity and process in (as) science (elsewhere, everywhere).
The observer between entity and process (equal, unequal) is necessary (mandatory) for entity and process. Observer is both entity and process (observer is also observation). Observer and observation are in a circular relationship making observation observer and circle both observation and observer.
(There are no observations (entities, processes) without a circle.) Observer, observation, entity, process, one, two makes a mandatory three (system).
There is a circle within and around any and-or all of these because the circle is also an entity and process which is necessary for any separation (observation).
Science, as the untangling entity and process (the grand observer, so-as-to-speak), is a (the) circle (between any entity and process, any observer and observation). (Circle = Circling)(Circle as a noun. Circle as a verb.)
Circle, then, is the only observer. Circle, then, is a (the) theory-of-everything. Circle, then, is everything (science).
Conservation of an uber-simple circle is the core dynamic in Nature, and, therefore, the ‘natural’ ‘theory-of-everything’ we all ‘seek’ and, perhaps, without realizing it, already, ‘understand.’ Conservation of the Circle is both ‘how’ and ‘why’ we ‘do’ science.
This article was originally published on the Circular Theory website (2005–2012) and, then, re-published in ‘Foundational Issues’ (2013) Amazon, along with many other articles that were originally published in the same way (on the 2005–20012 website). Conservation of the Circle (the Circular Theory) was originally published as the Tanglewood Trilogy in 2002. All of the Circular Theory books 2002–2017 are documented in Guide to the Circular Theory: Part I and Part II — The Circular Theory — Medium. All available on Amazon. Books from 2018–2024 are, also, on Amazon, documented on Medium…here…
