The Fractal Density Activation Axiom (FDAA) is a proposed theory of everything and unified ontological framework developed by independent researcher Patrick Morcillo in 2025.^[1][2] The framework posits that operational existence—whether of a point in spacetime, a particle, or a cognitive event—is not a primordial given but an emergent property. It becomes manifest if and only if a local, multi-scale measure of its structural complexity, termed its "fractal density," exceeds a universal threshold. From this single principle, the FDAA aims to derive fundamental laws of physics, including Newtonian gravity, the laws of thermodynamics, quantum phenomena, and the temporal arrow, while also providing a foundational model for complex systems like turbulence and artificial neural networks.^[1][3]

Overview

The FDAA challenges the classical notion of a pre-existing, continuous spacetime. Instead, it proposes that a ___location becomes "perceptible" or "exists" only upon meeting a criterion of sufficient multi-scale complexity.^[2] This is formalized by a functional, ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {D}}(x)}$ , which integrates energy and information contributions across a hierarchy of scales. The theory is built upon three core axioms:

1. The Axiom of Existence, which defines the condition for a point to be operationally real.^[2]
2. The Axiom of Composition, which formalizes how complex forms emerge from simpler constituents via operations from mathematical morphology and Galois connections.^[4]
3. The Fractal Density Activation Axiom proper, which states that the flow of time and the force of gravity are emergent phenomena arising from the dynamics of this density crossing its activation threshold.^[1]

A key prediction of the framework is that the operational timeline of any complex system is not continuous but fractal, with a predicted Hausdorff dimension of ${\displaystyle D_{t}\approx 0.63}$ , derived from the properties of a canonical Cantor set cascade.^[1][5]

Mathematical formulation

Core Definitions

The central object of the theory is the multi-scale density functional. For a point ${\displaystyle x}$  in a spacetime region ${\displaystyle X}$ , it is defined as:^[2][1]

${\displaystyle {\mathcal {D}}(x)=\int _{r_{\min }}^{r_{\max }}W(r)K(r;R(x))\left(\sum _{\tau }w_{\tau }E_{r,\tau }(x)\right)\left(\sum _{\tau }v_{\tau }I_{r,\tau }(x)\right){\frac {dr}{r}}}$ 

Where:

• ${\displaystyle W(r)=r^{-\beta },\beta <1}$  is a scale weight ensuring UV-finiteness.
• ${\displaystyle K(r;R(x))}$  is a resolution kernel (e.g., ${\displaystyle K(r)=e^{-(r/\xi )^{4}}}$ ) that discounts information from scales finer than the local resolving scale ${\displaystyle R(x)}$ .
• ${\displaystyle E_{r,\tau }(x)}$  and ${\displaystyle I_{r,\tau }(x)}$  are, respectively, energy-like and information-like densities contributed by a fundamental "thread" ${\displaystyle \tau }$  at scale ${\displaystyle r}$ .
• ${\displaystyle w_{\tau },v_{\tau }}$  are aggregation weights across threads.

The Axioms

Axiom of Existence

There exists a universal constant ${\displaystyle \Sigma _{*}>0}$  such that the operational existence of a point ${\displaystyle x}$  is given by the predicate:

${\displaystyle \Theta (x)=\mathbb {1} _{\{{\mathcal {D}}(x)\geq \Sigma _{*}\}}}$ 

This partitions reality into the set of activated points (Hyparxis) and the latent substrate.^[2][6]

Axiom of Composition (ACF)

Physical forms compose through a morphological dilation (${\displaystyle \delta }$ ) on a complete lattice ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}}$  of scale profiles. The composition of two forms ${\displaystyle F}$  and ${\displaystyle G}$  is defined by:

${\displaystyle \mathbb {D} _{F\otimes G}=\delta _{\mathbb {D} _{G}}(\mathbb {D} _{F})}$ 

This operation is shown to form a Galois connection with an associated erosion, preserving stability across scales.^[4]

Fractal Density Activation Axiom (FDAA)

The global phenomena of time and gravity emerge from the dynamics of ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {D}}(x)}$  relative to ${\displaystyle \Sigma _{*}}$ . The theory derives an emergent fractal timeline with dimension ${\displaystyle D_{t}=\inf _{q>0}{\frac {\tau (q)+1}{q}}}$ , where ${\displaystyle \tau (q)}$  is the moment-scaling function of the underlying multiplicative cascade. For a binary Cantor process, this yields ${\displaystyle D_{t}={\frac {\log 2}{\log 3}}\approx 0.6309}$ .^[1][5]

Derived Theorems and Physical Results

Emergent Newtonian Gravity

The FDAA modifies the Poisson equation for gravity, with the effective mass density given by ${\displaystyle \rho _{\text{eff}}(x)=\rho (x)\Theta (x)}$ . The resulting gravitational potential for a point mass ${\displaystyle M}$  is: ${\displaystyle \Phi (r)=-{\frac {GM}{r}}\left(1-e^{-(r/\xi )^{4}}\right)}$  This potential is finite at ${\displaystyle r=0}$ , resolving the central singularity, and predicts flat galactic rotation curves without dark matter at large ${\displaystyle r}$ .^[3][7]

Emergent Thermodynamics and the Arrow of Time

The First Law of thermodynamics is modified to include an informational entropy term ${\displaystyle S_{\text{FDAA}}=k_{B}\int _{V}\ln \left({\frac {{\mathcal {D}}(x)}{\Sigma _{*}}}\right)\Theta (x)dV}$ . The Second Law, ${\displaystyle \Delta S_{\text{total}}=\Delta S_{\text{thermal}}+\Delta S_{\text{FDAA}}\geq 0}$ , is derived from the axiom's monotonicity condition ${\displaystyle \partial _{t}{\mathcal {D}}(x)\geq 0}$ , providing a foundation for the arrow of time.^[1][7]

Regularity of the Navier-Stokes Equations

Within the ACF framework, the global regularity problem for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations is addressed by the Orthogonal Dissipation Axiom (ODA). This axiom posits that the observable part of the vortex-stretching term acts strictly as a negative dissipation sink, transferring energy into unobservable ("orthogonal") fiber channels. This yields a rigorous global ${\displaystyle H^{1}}$  bound, from which smoothness follows.^[4][8]

Particle Physics

The lifetime ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}}$  of an unstable particle is derived from the properties of the erosion operator decomposing its form:^[4][9] ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}\propto \sup\{\lambda |\varepsilon _{\mathbb {D} _{G}}(\mathbb {D} _{F})\succeq \lambda \cdot \mathbf {1} \}}$  where ${\displaystyle \mathbb {D} _{G}}$  represents the decay products. This leads to channel-dependent scaling laws (e.g., ${\displaystyle \log {\mathcal {T}}=-\log X_{\tau }+c_{\tau }}$  for weak, electromagnetic, or strong decays).

Neuroscience and consciousness

The Fractal Density Activation Axiom (FDAA) has been explicitly tested in the ___domain of neurophysiology, where it provides a model for the fractal dynamics observed in human electroencephalography (EEG). Analyses of band-limited EEG signals show that the fast oscillatory carriers behave essentially as white-noise-like controls with a temporal fractal dimension ${\displaystyle D_{t}\approx 0.5}$ , whereas their amplitude envelopes exhibit robust long-range temporal correlations (LRTC) and multifractality. This contrast demonstrates that scale-free dynamics in the brain reside in the slow modulations of power (the envelope), not in the raw signal itself.^[10]

A dedicated protocol based on Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) applied to Hilbert envelopes demonstrates a frequency-dependent spectrum of temporal fractal dimensions: δ-band envelopes yield ${\displaystyle D_{t}\approx 0.81}$ , θ-band log-envelopes also cluster near 0.81, α-band envelopes often exceed 0.9 (hyper-persistent), while β and γ bands trend lower (≈ 0.74 and ≈ 0.62, respectively). Surrogate controls (white-bandpassed and phase-randomized) collapse to ${\displaystyle D_{t}\sim 0.63}$ , confirming that the observed higher values are genuine and not spectral artifacts.^[11]

FDAA interprets this band-dependence as the signature of internal interaction threads within a single neuronal “point.” The slow bands (δ, θ) correspond to “order-giving” modes, aligning with the predicted universal temporal fractal dimension ${\displaystyle D_{t}\approx 0.81}$ , while faster bands represent more localized execution layers with lower ${\displaystyle D_{t}}$ . Aggregation across bands using FDAA’s spectral weights (${\displaystyle W(r)\propto r^{-1/2}}$ ) yields an effective dimension ${\displaystyle D_{\text{eff}}\approx 0.81\pm 0.01}$ , in agreement with the theory’s central prediction.^[11][10]

These results link the Cantor–Moirai hypothesis (naive, carrier-dominated ${\displaystyle D_{t}\approx 0.63}$ ) with the FDAA refinement (envelope-based ${\displaystyle D_{t}\approx 0.81}$ ) within a unified framework. They also provide a neurophysiological interpretation of FDAA’s activation threshold, seen here as the effective filter that selects which temporal scales contribute to operational existence in cortical activity.^[12]

Fluid dynamics and turbulence modeling

In fluid dynamics, the principles of the Axiom of Composition have been applied to develop a novel closure model for Large Eddy Simulation (LES). This "Structure-Aware LES" (LES-ACF) gates the subgrid-scale viscosity using a fractal envelope derived from the resolved flow field. This approach is reported to empirically improve the stability and scaling properties of simulated vortex cascades, aligning them with theoretical predictions of the FDAA framework.^[13]

Empirical Validation and Predictions

The FDAA is calibrated by a single universal constant ${\displaystyle \Sigma _{*}\approx 1.19\times 10^{3}{\text{MeV}}^{4}}$ . The theory claims to reproduce 12 orders of magnitude of empirical data across domains:^[3][7]

Table: FDAA Predictions vs. Experimental Data^[3]

Phenomenon	Observed Value	FDAA Prediction
Mercury Perihelion Precession	${\displaystyle 42.98\pm 0.04}$  arcsec/century	${\displaystyle 42.979}$
Casimir Force (${\displaystyle d=1\mu m}$ )	${\displaystyle -1.30\pm 0.1}$  mN/m²	${\displaystyle -1.28}$
NGC 6503 Rotation Velocity (${\displaystyle r=10}$  kpc)	${\displaystyle 119\pm 5}$  km/s	${\displaystyle 121}$
Muon g-2 Anomaly (${\displaystyle \Delta a_{\mu }\times 10^{-11}}$ )	${\displaystyle 251\pm 59}$	${\displaystyle 249}$

Other validated predictions and applications include:

• **Neural Networks:** The framework explains the fractal scaling observed in activation manifolds, optimization trajectories, and attention dynamics (${\displaystyle D\approx 0.63}$ ),^[1] and models backpropagation as a Galois adjunction.^[4]
• **Consciousness (EEG):** The multifractal spectrum of EEG signals is shown to obey the same compositional inequalities as hadronic molecules.^[4][14][15]
• **Anomalous Physics:** The theory has been applied to model reported anomalies of the "Buga Sphere."^[16][17]

Testable predictions of the theory include deviations from Newtonian gravity at sub-micron scales, a proton decay lifetime of ${\displaystyle \tau _{p}\approx 10^{34}}$  years, and a dark photon X-ray line at 0.5 keV.^[1]

Ontological Foundations

Morcillo roots the FDAA in a reinterpretation of Plato's Timaeus, arguing that its diagrammatic method of intersection (${\displaystyle \chi }$ ) and division (eis hepta) is a proto-algorithmic ontology isomorphic to the FDAA.^[6] The framework defines key ontological categories:

• Physis (${\displaystyle \varphi {\textrm {\acute {u}}}\sigma \iota \zeta }$ ): The multi-scale density functional ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {D}}(x)}$ , representing dynamic potential.
• Hyparxis (${\displaystyle {\ddot {\textrm {u}}}\pi {\textrm {\acute {\alpha }}}\rho \xi \iota \zeta }$ ): Operational existence, ${\displaystyle \Theta (x)=1}$ .
• Horismos (${\displaystyle {\textrm {\acute {o}}}\rho \iota \sigma \mu {\textrm {\acute {o}}}\zeta }$ ): The universal threshold ${\displaystyle \Sigma _{*}}$ .

This places the FDAA within traditions of speculative realism (positing a reality independent of human thought) and Deleuzian fractal ontology, while providing a mathematical basis for Heideggerian concepts like Ereignis (the event of appropriation into being).^[6]

Reception

The FDAA framework has been disseminated primarily through preprints on SSRN and OSF, where several papers have appeared on "Top Downloads" lists in their respective fields (e.g., Mathematical Physics, Complex Systems, Neuroscience).^[18] As a comprehensive theory of everything proposed by an independent researcher, it has yet to undergo formal peer review in mainstream scientific journals.
