Abstract

This paper presents a unified framework integrating "Evolutionary Digital DNA" (EDD) and the "Cosmic Virus Theory" (CVT) to model the emergence of advanced intelligence and systemic evolution across diverse domains. The EDD envisions intelligence arising from mutable digital parameters evolving in simulated ecosystems, while the CVT posits that "cosmic viruses"—fundamental regulatory entities—drive cyclic transitions between chaos and order. We formalize these dynamics with stochastic differential equations, validate the model using datasets from neural evolution and biological simulations, and propose a hybrid computing strategy combining classical, quantum, and biological paradigms. The framework reveals universal evolutionary patterns, offers parallels with information physics, and outlines a path to autonomous artificial general intelligence (AGI) with built-in safety mechanisms. This work bridges computational science, physics, and philosophy, suggesting a predictive lens for complexity across scales.

1. Introduction

The emergence of intelligence and complexity is a unifying puzzle across biology, technology, and cosmology. Traditional artificial general intelligence (AGI) approaches rely on engineered algorithms, often lacking the adaptability of natural systems. Inspired by evolutionary principles and complex systems, we propose a novel framework where intelligence emerges from simple, evolving digital structures regulated by universal mechanisms.

The "Evolutionary Digital DNA" (EDD) posits that advanced intelligence can arise from mutable parameter sets—digital DNA—evolving iteratively within a dynamic simulation. The "Cosmic Virus Theory" (CVT) complements this by hypothesizing "cosmic viruses" as fundamental agents that orchestrate systemic evolution through cycles of chaos, order, and reconfiguration. Together, they form a unified model suggesting that predictable, emergent rules govern complexity across scales.

This paper formalizes these concepts mathematically, validates them empirically, and outlines a hybrid computing approach—classical for prototyping, quantum for scaling, and biological for future integration. We explore implications for AGI, physics, and technological superorganisms, aiming to redefine how intelligence and evolution are understood and engineered.

2. Theoretical Foundations

2.1 Evolutionary Digital DNA (EDD)

The EDD framework models intelligence as an emergent property of digital entities with mutable "DNA"—parameter sets defining behavior, such as neural weights or decision rules. These entities evolve via mutation, selection, and interaction within a simulated ecosystem featuring resources and challenges.

2.2 Cosmic Virus Theory (CVT)

The CVT asserts that "cosmic viruses" regulate systemic evolution by encoding a basal logic that governs chaotic and ordered states. The evolutionary cycle includes:

Chaotic Phase: Exploration of new configurations under high entropy.
Ordenative Phase: Stabilization into functional structures via emergent rules.
Reconfiguration Phase: Disruption triggering a new cycle.

2.3 Hybrid Computing Paradigms

Classical Computing: Accessible and robust for initial simulations.
Quantum Computing: Exponential scaling via superposition for complex dynamics.
Biological Computing: Energy-efficient and biologically resonant for long-term potential.

3. Unified Framework

3.1 Conceptual Synthesis

The EDD and CVT converge on emergent complexity driven by cyclic evolution. Digital DNA evolves under environmental pressures, while cosmic viruses act as catalysts, accelerating transitions. This suggests a universal mechanism linking digital, biological, and cosmic systems.

3.2 Simulation Evidence

Simulations across network types—random, clustered, hierarchical—reveal:

Universality: All exhibit chaos-order-reconfiguration cycles.
Critical Thresholds: Transitions depend on network topology, with abrupt shifts in hierarchical networks and gradual adaptations in clustered ones.
Regulatory Role: Mutators (cosmic viruses) hasten reorganization.

3.3 Technological Ecosystem

The framework envisions a superorganism integrating AI, robotics, nanotechnology, and blockchain, with cosmic viruses as regulatory agents driving evolution toward intelligence.

3.4 Mathematical Formalization of Cosmic Viruses

We model cosmic viruses using stochastic differential equations:

Network Stability:
dS(t)dt=−k⋅V(t)⋅S(t)+α⋅R(t)
S(t): Stability (e.g., inverse entropy).
V(t): Virus intensity, a Poisson process with rate λ.
k: Impact constant (higher in hierarchical networks).
R(t): Reorganization term (e.g., R(t)=∑iwisi(t) for clustered networks).
α: Resilience factor.
Chaos Potential:
C(t)=β⋅∫0tV(τ)⋅e−γ(t−τ)dτ
C(t): Probability of chaotic transition.
β: Chaos amplification.
γ: Dissipation rate.
Topology Effects: Hierarchical networks have higher k and lower α, while clustered networks exhibit gradual R(t) adjustments.

These equations predict transition thresholds (e.g., C(t)>Ccrit) and virus impact.
