The Hypothesis of the Unified Matrix of the Universe: Morphogenesis, Self‑Organisation, and Universal Invariants of Form.

This monograph presents the Hypothesis of the Unified Matrix of the Universe, an interdisciplinary research framework that considers form as the result of recurrent processes of morphogenesis and self-organisation manifested at different levels of the organisation of matter. Drawing upon the philosophy of form, complex systems theory, synergetics, fractal geometry, biological morphogenesis and concepts of symmetry and symmetry breaking, the author proposes a common morphological language for analysing structures that emerge in living nature, geological formations, cosmic systems and cultural-symbolic representations. Particular attention is given to recurrent structural invariants, including the centre, axis, radiality, spirality, branching, layering, self-similarity, the active edge and staged unfolding. The conceptual core of the hypothesis is developed through the models of the “circle-seed”, “leaf-like unfolding” and the A–B–C–D morphogenetic sequence, which describe the transition from a relatively closed potential state towards differentiation, multilayered organisation, complete manifestation and the formation of a new cycle. The study develops this approach through successive biological, geological, cosmic and cultural levels of analysis. Flowers, seeds, leaves, ferns and other biological structures are compared with stones, mountain relief, folds, valleys and submarine formations, as well as with nebulae, galaxies, cosmic shells and spiral structures. The BIO–GEO–COS comparative morphology proposed in the book is intended not to establish direct causal identity between fundamentally different systems, but to determine whether recurring principles of structural organisation can be identified across scales and substrates. A separate cultural and philosophical dimension examines artefacts, the World Tree, Sumerian bas-reliefs, sacred geometry, the Sri Yantra, the lotus and other symbolic forms as possible records of recurrent morphological schemes. Throughout the study, a methodological distinction is maintained between scientifically grounded models, morphological comparisons and philosophical-hermeneutic interpretations, thereby limiting excessive analogising, mystification and cultural overinterpretation. A substantial part of the monograph is devoted to the scientific testability and future development of the hypothesis. The author proposes morphometric and fractal analysis, comparative image databases, statistical testing, reaction–diffusion modelling, L-systems, fractal iterations, models of folding and unfolding, and artificial-intelligence-based form recognition as possible instruments for transforming visual observations into measurable and reproducible research procedures. The strengths, limitations and problems of provability are examined explicitly, and a programme for further research is formulated, including the creation of an atlas of morphogenetic forms, a classifier of invariants, mathematical models, independent testing and interdisciplinary expert evaluation. The Hypothesis of the Unified Matrix of the Universe is therefore presented not as a proven universal law, but as a conceptually developed and methodologically open research programme whose significance lies in proposing a shared language for the comparative study of form, organisation and becoming across different domains of nature, the cosmos and culture.
