It unifies chemistry, physics, engineering, communication, finance, quantum and gravity into one framework.
Across its pages, Everything in Motion offers readers a profound reimagining of evolution, science, and the nature of space-time. It is a book that feels both intimate and sweeping, rigorous and wonder-filled—one that invites you to consider whether the universe itself is evolving.
Blending technology with narrative, it pairs vivid metaphors—Disneyland rides, Apollo 13, jazz improvisation, the rise of AI — with careful derivations and direct ties to quantum theory, the economics of comparative advantage, and thermodynamics. Plus, hard cosmological data, including the distribution of cosmic voids, galaxy ages and cosmic background radiation anomalies. This makes the work not just speculative but grounded in observable evidence.
This is rigorous science written to be accessible to everyone: original in vision, deep in foundations, clear in explanation, and impactful in implication.
The Book in summary
Chapters 1-2 Why does life exist at all? Why does anything persist? And how did Disney’s wartime fight and the Battle of Britain’s radar reveal life’s improbable edge?
This opening explores the fundamental questions: Why does anything—stars, cells, ideas, families—manage to hold together when the universe constantly trends toward disorder? Life is an anomaly, building patterns, replicating, and sustaining order against entropy’s pull. This mystery led to GTESI, a General Theory for Evolutionary Systems and Information, a framework revealing how everything persists, adapts, and evolves, from molecules to minds. We delve into “life’s improbable edge”, examining the slippery boundary where chemistry becomes life. Analogy from Walt Disney’s wartime fight against company extinction, and the Battle of Britain’s radar—a non-living system that “protected life, it formed a boundary, a shield, for life”—illustrate how persistence transforms “error into discovery” when everything’s at risk.
Chapters 3-4 From Walt Disney’s deepest crisis to the birth of RNA: Uncover the hidden spark that forged persistence, where unfinishedness and iterative error became life’s greatest strengths.
Life persists not through perfection, but inherent imperfection and iterative resilience. We explore how “error into discovery” drives evolution, much like Disneyland’s “unfinished” nature constantly adapts through “plussing”. This “good enough” approach is fundamental: life survives because it is flawed and unfinished. Chapters 3-4 also delve into fundamental boundaries, like the first self-assembling fatty bilayers that encapsulated early life, and the first self-replicators like RNA. These early forms, akin to buffalo trails or the Erie Canal, created “highways of life”, encoding information and shaping pathways for persistence.
Chapters 5-6 Velvet ropes, soap bubbles, and cosmic ballet: How boundaries formed life’s first defenses and symmetry shattered to create memory from chaos
This installment reveals how life’s first defenses emerged, why selection is merciless, and how symmetry shatters to make evolution possible. For life to persist, fragile boundaries were essential, creating localized order from chaos. This includes the self-assembling protocell membranes, likened to a velvet rope at Studio 54 selectively admitting entrants. We witness a 465-day soap bubble defying entropy, showing resilience (recoil potential) against near-collapse. The “brutal math” of life, where selection acts with “merciless funnel” precision, is exemplified by the Klondike Gold Rush—a real-time competition for survival where adaptability outweighed brute strength. We also explore how information persists through imperfect transmission, as seen in Armstrong’s Moon landing quote, and how symmetry is broken to enable evolution, akin to Andy Warhol’s silkscreens or Titanic Thompson’s ambidextrous hustling.
Chapter 7 The brutish math of survival: Discover how efficiency—not luck—drives evolution, from Lawrence of Arabia’s desert gamble to the high-speed physics of Cars Land.
Evolution is fundamentally about thermodynamic efficiency. Life is an “entropy-exporting machine”, constantly optimizing energy conversion to maintain order against relentless dissolution. From Radiator Springs Racers pushing efficiency to the limit, to Lawrence of Arabia’s impossible desert crossing symbolizing the active fight against entropy, persistence is a “brutal math” of survival. This chapter reveals the staggering scale of evolutionary failure—trillions of failed attempts for every success—and how life’s ultimate triumph, exemplified by Steamboat Willie’s synchronized sound, was its ability to compress and refine information to ensure enduring relevance.
Chapter 8 The universe’s hidden equation: Unveil the single law that unifies Einstein, Shannon, and Ricardo, and quantifies life’s impossible persistence.”
This chapter introduces GTESI’s core equation (Ψ = γ · κ · ε), a predictive framework for persistence across all adaptive systems. It quantifies how a system’s Evolutionary Potential (Ψ) is a product of its Curvature (γ)—how information is shaped—Compression (κ)—how tightly useful structure is packed—and Recoil Potential (ε)—its capacity for resilience. Analogies range from a river carving a canyon (compression) to a jazz ensemble’s rhythm (curvature/synchronization) and a startup balancing risk and stability (recoil potential), making the “brutal math of survival” measurable and tangible.
Chapter 9 The universe is alive: Explore the radical idea that physics itself evolves, and discover why life and intelligence are not anomalies, but the inevitable outcome of cosmic laws
GTESI argues that evolution is not an anomaly but an inherent prediction of physics. It unifies insights from Einstein’s relativity, Shannon’s information theory, Feynman’s quantum mechanics, and Ricardo’s economics. Examples like GPS relativistic corrections, fitness landscapes as quantum wave functions, and Disneyland’s Utilidor system demonstrate how these laws underpin persistence. The chapter challenges the traditional divide between physics and biology, suggesting the universe itself is an evolving, self-refining system, akin to a continuous jazz improvisation. This also includes the concept of the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” as a metaphor for systems evolving beyond initial control. This chapter challenges the line between physics and biology—and shows that evolution isn’t an accident, but a physical necessity
Chapter 10 Beyond biology: From bumper cars to black holes, discover how AI, economies, and galaxies operate under the same universal law of adaptive persistence.
This chapter extends GTESI to universal systems, showing that evolution acts on information, not just biology. From Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl to the evolution of AI, persistence is rewarded in systems that optimize trade-offs by managing structure (κ), alignment (Φ), and processing efficiency (τ). We explore how humanity and AI are not competitors but co-evolving forces, pushing into a new phase of self-directed evolution. Black holes are reimagined as mechanisms for cosmic evolution, and Guardians of the Galaxy exemplify chaotic, improbable systems persisting through adaptation and resilience.
Chapter 11. The universe’s ultimate secret: Unravel the cosmic twist that shapes reality, from mass and gravity to the origin of galaxies, and find out where evolution truly leads—beyond intelligence itself
This concluding section delves into GTESI’s boldest claims, revealing a deeper layer of reality where everything—matter, energy, space, time—emerges from fundamental “symbolic relationships”. It introduces the concept of Impansion—the universe “filling inward” through topological twists—which offers explanations for cosmic voids, early galaxy formation, and CMB anomalies. The ultimate endgame of evolution is “perfect flow,” transcending cognition, where the system and its environment become one. Disneyland’s continuous evolution and the human-AI collaboration in writing the book serve as metaphors for this ongoing, self-optimizing cosmic process. Intelligence is just one tool in the larger game of persistence. GTESI’s formal mathematical derivations are presented in the appendix.
GTESI’s formal mathematical derivations and confirmation of its predictions relating to cosmic void distribution, galaxy age and CMB radiation dispersal are presented in the appendices.
