This paper addresses the long-standing challenge of unifying classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, which has puzzled the physics community for decades. Most existing frameworks are built on the foundations of material particles and spacetime, neglecting consciousness as an independent physical entity. Here, I propose a novel hypothesis: the Consciousness Energy (CE) theory, which posits that consciousness energy is the fundamental form of the universe. Without mass or physical substance, it evolves autonomously, iterates, and remains stable across dimensions. Based on this idea, I construct a three-tiered cosmic model: the high-dimensional consciousness origin, the intermediate dimensional buffer layer, and the low-dimensional material world we inhabit. This framework provides a consistent explanation for seemingly contradictory phenomena, such as quantum entanglement, the observer effect, black hole singularities, and the vibrational nature of strings. It unifies classical and quantum mechanics: the former describes the behavior of condensed consciousness energy in the material world, while the latter reflects the free characteristics of consciousness in its primordial state. This theory aligns with concepts in traditional Chinese philosophy, such as inner observation and spiritual cultivation, which are essentially practices to purify and strengthen consciousness energy, aiming to transcend dimensional constraints and return to the origin. The framework is logically self-consistent and compatible with established physical laws, offering a new perspective for the study of a "theory of everything".

This version includes the following Major Changes Title and core terminology unified to "Fundamental Consciousness Energy (FCE)". Added theoretical engagement with Superpsychism (§2.2). Added systematic comparison with five major consciousness theories (§8.1). Specified falsifiability conditions and differentiated from Orch-OR predictions (§7). Full professional academic language editing and reference formatting. Manuscript expanded from ~2,500 words (V1) to ~7,000 words (V2). Core theoretical claims remain unchanged. The original V1 paper proposes the Consciousness Energy (CE) Hypothesis and constructs a three‑layer cosmic model to unify classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. It explains phenomena including quantum entanglement, the observer effect, and black hole singularities from the perspective of consciousness as a fundamental energy form. The framework is logically self‑consistent and provides a new perspective for the study of unified theories. This is the English version of the preprint originally published in Chinese.The original Chinese version has been published on Zenodo with DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20039545 .

Starting from a fundamental assumption whose validity we will establish through reliable scientific data, the Super-Entangled Universe model we ultimately present demonstrates that, similar to quantum entanglement, macroscopic entities are entangled with one another independently of both distance and time. This model reveals that the phenomenon of entanglement, which is absent in classical mechanics but intrinsic to standard quantum mechanics, likewise exists at the cosmic scale. The proposed framework offers a unified approach to understanding both cosmic and quantum phenomena, addressing existing gaps and thereby aiming to go beyond them, that is, to demonstrate the existence of what lies beyond the universe. Our perspective shows that the universe may exist not externally, but solely intrinsically through conscious observation. Such a model provides a novel, complementary, yet unconventional perspective on the nature of the universe. This new outlook, in itself, can also offer simple and natural solutions to the eleven most fundamental and mysterious questions that theoretical physics still faces today.

Abstract This paper takes quantum coherence as a unifying framework to establish a streamlined physical model that spans microscopic quantum phenomena, macroscopic motion, the four fundamental interactions, and conscious perception. Changes in an object’s motion state are fundamentally the transition and reconstruction of the system’s overall coherent mode. Electromagnetism, gravity, friction, contact forces, and the strong/weak interactions are all forms of coherent coupling at different scales. Macroscopic continuous motion is a sensory illusion of high-speed transitions between discrete coherent states, synthesized into a smooth temporal sequence by consciousness. Decoherence corresponds to the release of phase constraints, accompanied by energy release. From a dimensional perspective, the high-dimensional quantum coherent field is the underlying reality, and the macroscopic classical world is its low-dimensional projection after decoherence and conscious integration. Macroscopic physics is a simplified version of quantum physics, just as conventional calculus is a simplified version of its deeper mathematical foundations. This framework achieves a unified explanation of matter, force, energy, consciousness, and spacetime dimensions, with rigorous logical simplicity and self-consistency.
This paper introduces a theoretical framework that bridges the conceptual divide between quantum mechanics and relativity by proposing a fundamental building block of the universe: the “Space-Time* quantum.” The theory posits that every object possesses an inherent property, Time* — defined as the reciprocal of its intrinsic frequency. The Space-Time* quantum is a composite entity, consisting of a timeless space energy and a kinetic Time* energy. This framework provides a new perspective on wave-particle duality, the double-slit experiment, and quantum entanglement. It re-examines the principles of Special Relativity, offering a conceptual and visual explanation of phenomena such as time dilation and length contraction as a consequence of changes in the Space-Time quanta. The theory also provides an alternative view on the origin of the universe and the nature of gravity, suggesting that gravitational effects arise from an energy deficiency rather than a curvature of spacetime. This paper establishes a conceptual foundation for further mathematical development to test and validate these new insights.
