TDH: A Pedagogically Formalized Theory of State-to-State Transitions in the Combined Intangible–Tangible Verse (CIT-Verse)

Title TDH: A Pedagogically Formalized Theory of State-to-State Transitions in the Combined Intangible–Tangible Verse (CIT-Verse) Publication Date 2026-05-16 Authors Hau Dinh Thai Affiliation Independent Researcher Description (Abstract) This work presents Version 2.0 of the TDH State-to-State Transition Theory, a pedagogically reconstructed and structurally formalized framework modeling reality as a Combined Intangible–Tangible Verse (CIT-Verse). In this framework, all evolution occurs through transitions between system states composed of tangible (mass, energy) and intangible (relations, constraints, informational structures) components. Each transition produces two complementary outcomes: Kozans, which are mass-comprising and observable, and Causations, which are massless structural entities. The theory proposes that causation emerges from transitions rather than preceding them. Physical laws are interpreted as stable patterns arising from accumulated causations across repeated transitions. Version 2.0 introduces a fully reconstructed pedagogical structure, including clear conceptual definitions, mathematical formulations, causation hierarchy, and visual representations. This version corrects structural and presentation issues present in Version 1.0 and establishes a clearer foundation for future mathematical and computational development.
