Universal Optimization Theory: A Fundamental Principle of Reality

This paper introduces the Universal Optimization Theory, a theoretical framework proposing that optimization is a fundamental principle governing the universe. By integrating thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, general relativity, and artificial intelligence, we demonstrate that entropy refinement governs intelligence evolution, cosmic structure formation, and quantum behavior. We derive a core optimization equation that naturally extends Einstein’s field equations and quantum decision-making, offering a testable alternative to dark matter models and AI evolution predictions. Experimental approaches to validate this theory are discussed, along with its implications for fundamental physics and artificial intelligence.
