He categorizes objects into two primary domains:
1. Physicals: These include materials (e.g., matter) and by-materials (e.g., mass, volume, energy, density, inscription).
2. Abstracts: These are non-physicals, such as ideas or conceptual structures, which are not derived from material substances.
Importantly, non-materials are not the by-products of matter—they exist within their own abstract domain.
Through his pioneering research into Autognorics—the study of engineered life forms—Lawsin discovered that emergence is driven by two key components: IOs (Intuitive Objects) and EIs (Embedded Instructions). These components together give rise to increasingly complex phenomena, including the self.
The emergence of the self, which Lawsin regards as the pinnacle of generated emergence, is constructed from a seven-part formula representing progressive stages of existential development:, namely: the mechanization of aliveness, the sensation of awareness, the codification of consciousness, the logic of intuitiveness, the inlearness of information, the symbiosis of living, and the emergence of self. These seven new non-biological orders or stages of life form the foundational criteria for defining being alive, living, and with life; and differentiating awareness, consciousness, and self-realization.
Central to Lawsin’s theory is the idea that life, consciousness, dreams, and all complex phenomena are not permanent states—they are Interims. They emerge only when specific conditions are present. Without the essential physical substrates and embedded inscriptions, such phenomena simply do not and cannot exist.
This view places Generated Interim Emergence as the underlying mechanism behind all existence. It posits that reality is a dynamic, conditionally emergent continuum—a constant interplay between structure (what something is) and inscription (how something acts).
Originally formulated in 1988, Joey Lawsin’s Single Theory of Everything stands as a cornerstone of his broader philosophical framework, Inscriptionism—a theory that asserts "The emergence of any phenomenon is determined by the interaction between its physical materials and the internal instructions embedded within it."
From the origin of the universe to the emergence of life, consciousness, and the self, Lawsin's theory offers a unifying principle—a generative mechanism that explains not only how things exist, but why they emerge and how they do.
Also, in Lawsin’s framework:
Nothingness = The absence of material + instruction + energy
Since he argues that all things only emerge when their components are present, then nothing is simply the default state when emergence hasn't occurred.
So in this view:
Paradoxically, "nothing" can be caused by something — for instance, when energy is removed or an object’s inscription is never activated.
Therefore, “nothing” is not foundational — it’s transitional or conditional.
This mirrors Lawsin’s idea of interim emergence — where existence is always conditional, and non-existence (nothing) is simply what happens when the conditions for emergence are missing or no longer sustained.
“Nothing is not the absence of being, but the absence of emergence.”
In other words, nothing is what remains when the conditions for emergence—materials, instructions, and energy—are not present or no longer interact.
Nothing is permanent; everything is conditional.
Why This Book Matters
Throughout human history, we've asked the same impossible questions:
What is reality made of? Why do we exist? Is everything connected — and if so, how?
Science has given us incredible tools to answer these questions. From the vast scale of galaxies to the strange behavior of particles smaller than atoms, we’ve mapped much of the known universe. Yet the more we learn, the more fragmented it all seems.
Physics doesn’t quite align with consciousness. Mind doesn’t fit neatly into matter. Meaning gets lost in equations. We’re left with incredible discoveries — but no unified picture.
This book is about that picture.
It’s an attempt to explore what I call the Single Theory of Everything — not just a unifying law of physics, but a deeper principle that unifies Science, Consciousness, Information, and the Universe into one coherent framework. Whether you’re a scientist, philosopher, artist, seeker, skeptic, or simply curious, I invite you to consider the possibility that everything we experience may be different expressions of one single thing.
You won’t need a physics degree to read this book. There are no long formulas, no technical jargon you can’t Google. What you will need is curiosity — and maybe the courage to question what you’ve always assumed to be true.
This is not the final word on everything. It’s a beginning — a conversation that spans across disciplines, perspectives, and worldviews. My goal is to offer a map, however imperfect, of a territory that many of us sense, but few can clearly describe.
If you’ve ever felt that there’s something deeper beneath the surface of life — some hidden thread connecting all of it — this book is for you.
Let’s follow that thread together..
STOE challenges several core assumptions and arguments of traditional philosophical and scientific paradigms, including dualism, materialism, idealism, scientism, inscriptionism, and conventional theories of consciousness. Below is an overview of how Lawsin’s theory relates to and diverges from these established views:
Dualism
Dualism posits that there are two fundamental kinds of substances or realities: the physical and the mental. Lawsin’s theory rejects this binary distinction, proposing instead that the “twoness” of materials and inscriptions constitutes the foundational building blocks of all existence. It denies the existence of a separate mental substance or soul, redefining consciousness as an aneural ability—an object’s capacity to associate "things with things" without requiring a brain. This phenomenon is termed Associative Consciousness.
Materialism
Materialism asserts that everything is physical or explainable through physical processes. While Lawsin’s theory aligns with the view that everything has a physical aspect, it redefines what "physical" means. According to Lawsin, physicals consist of materials and by-materials, with matter being just one form of material and energy being a by-material. The theory further argues that certain entities—such as numbers and instructions—do not originate from physical matter and are classified as Abstracts or non-materials.
Idealism
Idealism holds that reality is fundamentally mental or mind-dependent. Lawsin’s theory challenges this view by proposing that existence can be either neural (mental) or aneural (non-mental), depending on how it is codified and energized. It also introduces the concept of structural inscriptions—abstracts that are not derived from the mind—thereby extending the domain of existence beyond mental phenomena.
Scientism
Scientism maintains that science is the only valid path to truth and reality. Lawsin’s theory partially supports this stance, acknowledging that science relies on tools and methodologies to validate empirical evidence. However, his framework—particularly the concept of Inscription by Design (also referred to as the Grand Order of Design)—goes further by suggesting that all things are governed by the laws of information and emergence, shaped by their Intuitive Objects (IOs) and Embedded Instructions (EIs).
Inscriptionism
Inscriptionism, a concept originated by Joey Lawsin, asserts that the creation of all things can be explained through the interaction of intuitive materials and embedded instructions. This relationship is captured by a single equation, which posits that the summation of external intuitive materials and internal embedded inscriptions results in the emergence of an interim entity.
Consciousness
Traditionally understood as the awareness of oneself and one's surroundings, Lawsin redefines consciousness through the concepts of associative codexation. He introduces a seven-part formula wherein the emergence of the “self”—encompassing self-awareness, self-identity, self-realization, self-recognition, and self-expression—is considered part of a broader evolutionary process governed by informational and structural orders.
The Law of Seven Inscriptions (Non-Biological Criteria of life):
The seven-part formula that Lawsin proposed in his theory of Generated Interim Emergence is known as the Law of Seven Inscriptions, the new seven non-biological criteria of life. Its discovery was uncovered on the idea known as Inscription by Design. It consists of the following steps:
The mechanization of aliveness. This is the process of making a material object performs some basic functions, such as movement or animation through self-energization. This object is considered alive, but not aware or conscious. (energy)
The sensation of awareness. This is the process of adding sensory inputs to the object, such as vision, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. This allows the object to perceive its environment and react to stimuli. This object is considered aware, but not yet conscious. (sensors)
The logic of intuitiveness. This is the process of adding rational abilities to the object, such as logic, inference, or deduction through its sensors. This allows the design of the object's sensors to respond or make decisions based on its information inputs and outputs. The object is considered intuitive, but not inlearn, neural, or symbiotic. (logic)
The codification of consciousness. This is the process of associating an object(reality) with information(ideas), such as following, copying, discovering, or mimicking what it senses. This allows the object to respond with its surrounding. This anueral object is considered conscious, but not informed or inlearned. (codex)
The inlearness of information. This is the process of adding learning capabilities to the object through acquiring information in a queue. The various distinct structural designs of the its gnos that store individual information uniquely through the flowchart effect via information inputs and outputs that create experiences, behaviors, and feedbacks. This object is considered inlearn or inform, but not symbiotic or self-emergent. (inform)
The symbiosis of living. This is the process of adding social interactions to the object, such as cooperation or competition. This allows the object to form relationships and networks with other objects and benefit from their resources and support. This object is considered symbiotic but without self-realization, self-identity, or self-recognition yet. (living)
The emergence of self. This is the process of adding self-referentiality to the object, such as self-identity, self-expression, or self-reflection. This allows the object to recognize itself as a distinct entity and create its own meaning and values in life. This object can recognize itself, thoughts, feelings, actions, and experiences. (life)
According to Lawsin’s theory, these seven non-biological orders are necessary and sufficient in generating interims from being alive, living, and having life. He claims that this formula can be applied, partially or completely, to any intuitive object, whether natural or artificial, and that it can explain the origin, creation, and evolution of life.
What if the entire cosmos — from the smallest particle to the largest galaxy — could be described by a single, elegant equation? The One Equation of Everything unveils the formula that unites matter, energy, life, and thought into one coherent picture. Drawing on science, mathematics, and deep philosophical insight, it decodes the blueprint of reality and shows how everything we know emerges from the same underlying principle.
The ultimate equation that governs everything:
— THE ELEGANT EQUATION
The Theory of Generated Interim Emergence, also known as the Single or One Theory of Everything, is the mother of all equations that governs everything. The equation can be translated into a single statement which states that the summation of its external intuitive materials and internal embedded inscriptions is equal to the emergence of the interim entity.
The Variables:
GE = generated interim = I
IO = intuitive materials = A
EI = embedded inscriptions = N
n = number of elemental materials and embedded instructions
ΔEe = emergent energy
The Derivation:
if: an Interim emerges due to both objects & inscriptions
then: IE is equal to n(IO) and n(EI)
or: ∑i(GE) = ∑n(IO) + ∑n(EI) +(ΔEe)
thus: ∑I = ∑A + ∑N
where: Lw is the unit of measurement.
The Verbatim:
"The Emergence of an Interim is equal to the number of the elemental materials in the object plus the number of instructions in its inscription." ~ the Single Theory of Everything.
A New Way to Think About Existence
STOE challenges traditional ideas of cause and effect. According to the theory, all things are products of evokement—not spontaneous accidents, but structured outcomes triggered by the right conditions.
This redefines how we look at reality:
If something exists, it’s because it was evoked into being—by structure, by logic, by design.
STOE doesn’t stop at physics or biology. It dares to ask deeper questions:
- Why are we here?
- How did life really begin?
- What is the true purpose of existence?
By blending science, philosophy, and imagination, Lawsin’s theory opens the door to a unified way of understanding everything—from the smallest particle to the nature of consciousness itself.
Evokement (n.):
In the STOE framework, evokement refers to the condition or process by which an entity or phenomenon is temporarily brought into existence through the coordinated presence of intuitive objects (IO) and embedded inscriptions (EI). Unlike spontaneous creation, evokement implies causality, structure, and impermanence.
It captures the idea that something doesn't just appear, but is evoked—called into being—by the coordinated presence of matter + code.
"Everything exists because other things cause it to exist, otherwise, it exists and doesn't exist."
