Abstract
Research shows that observers and agents, as key concepts in physics and intelligence science respectively, exhibit profound intrinsic consistency. Based on this understanding, we propose and construct Theory of Universal Intelligent Evolution, known as Omega Theory, which offers an innovative exploration of Theory of Everything (ToE) from the perspective of intelligence science. Within the framework of Omega Theory, this paper unifies the research subjects and dynamic mechanisms of physics and intelligence science, revealing that the intelligence level of the observer is the fundamental source of the differences among classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum mechanics. Furthermore, this paper proposes that core concepts such as subjectivity and objectivity, determinism and uncertainty, as well as time and space, are inherently related to the intelligent state of agents and Universe.Omega Theory consists of three core models: Standard Agent Model, General Model of Agent Evolution, and Intelligent Universe Evolution Model. Standard Agent Model serves as a foundational axiom, defining the unified structure and functional framework of agents, and it is the cornerstone of the theory. Building upon this, we derive General Model of Agent Evolution and Intelligent Universe Evolution Model. Omega Theory posits that the fundamental units of Universe are agents, and that the entire universe is itself an agent. Matter is a special manifestation of agents, and each agent continuously evolves between the states of absolute zero intelligence and omniscience and omnipotence, driven by two intelligent forces that are derived from the theory.To validate this theory, we have designed a thought experiment in the "Experimental Universe 1," where classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum mechanics experiments can be simultaneously conducted. By adjusting the intelligence level of the observer, we observe that different physical theory scenarios emerge in succession as the observer's intelligence level changes.
Keywords:
1. Introduction
- It demonstrates that observers and research subjects in physics can be classified as types of agents.
- It proposes that the four fundamental forces of physics have the potential to be unified under the two intelligence forces of Omega Theory.
- It proves that the differences in the intelligence levels of observers are key to the discrepancies among the three major physical theories: classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.
2. Establishment of the Theory of Universal Intelligent Evolution
2.1. Establishment of Standard Agent Model
2.2. Establishment of General Model of Agent Evolution
2.3. Establishing Intelligent Universe Evolution Model
- If a system or agent evolves to the Ω Point, its range of existence will theoretically expand to encompass the entire Universe, transforming Universe into a unified omniscient and omnipotent agent in essence.
- If all systems or agents in Universe evolve to the α Point, Universe will converge into an absolute zero intelligence state, existing in absolute nothingness, at which point Universe itself would cease to exist.
- When at least one finite agent exists in Universe, Universe is considered a combination of finite agents and absolute zero intelligence, essentially a finite agent.

| Type Name | Mathematical Description |
|---|---|
| Absolute Zero Agent(α Point | Ina = Outa = Sta = Cra = Cona = 0 |
| Finite Agent | 0 < Ina < 1 or 0 < Outa < 1 or 0 < Sta < 1 or 0 < Cra < 1 or 0 < Cona < 1 (1 Represents ∞) |

| Physics Observer | Agent Type |
|---|---|
| Classical Mechanics Observer | An omniscient agent: In classical mechanics, the observer is implicitly considered an omniscient agent, capable of fully comprehending all the information within the observed system. However, classical mechanics assumes that the observer's role is passive, meaning the observer does not influence the system's operation in any way. |
| Relativity Observer | A hybrid of an omniscient agent and a finite agent. According to the deterministic viewpoint of relativity, if the observer knows all the initial conditions and physical laws of a system, they can theoretically predict its future state. Additionally, within the framework of relativity, the observer does not affect the system's evolution. The constancy of the speed of light limits the observer's information input to within the speed of light. Moreover, the equivalence principle states that, in a local reference frame (such as inside an elevator), the observer cannot distinguish between the effects of gravity and acceleration through any experiment. |
| Quantum Mechanics Observer | A finite agent. Based on the uncertainty principle, the complementarity principle, and the fact that the act of observation influences the observed system, the observer in quantum mechanics can be characterized as a finite agent. |

| No. | Intelligence Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Omniscient and Omnipotent | The observer, as Omniscient and Omnipotent Agent, possesses infinite capabilities in Information input, output, storage, creation, and control. |
| 2 | Omniscient | As a classical mechanics observer, the agent is omniscient, with infinite Information input and storage capacity, enabling comprehensive observation of any event in "Experimental Universe 1" in infinite detail. However, the observer's Information output capacity is limited to interference-free observation with an infinitely fast medium and cannot control the mechanical hand in the box. This represents a limited omniscient and omnipotent agent. |
| 3 | Mix of Omniscient and Finite Intelligence | As a relativity observer, the agent is a mix of omniscient and finite intelligence. Based on the deterministic principles of relativity, it has infinite Information input and storage capacity, allowing for an omniscient range of observation. However, the equivalence principle restricts the observer from distinguishing gravity from acceleration in local experiments, limiting its input capability to a finite intelligence state. Additionally, the constancy of the speed of light restricts the observer's interference-free observation capacity to the speed of light, limiting Information input. As the relativity observer cannot affect or interfere with the observation system, it lacks output capacity other than using photons for system probing. |
| 4 | Finite Intelligence | As a quantum mechanics observer, the agent represents finite intelligence. According to the principles of uncertainty, complementarity, and quantum measurement, the observer's Information input, output, storage, creation, and control capabilities range between zero and the maximum value. |
| 5 | Absolute Zero Intelligence | The observer, as Absolute Zero Agent, all five intelligence capabilities are zero. |
| Observer's Intelligence State | Intelligence Level Description | Observed Physical Phenomena |
|---|---|---|
| Omniscient and Omnipotent Agent | Infinite capabilities in Information input, output, storage, creation, and control | Arbitrary creation and alteration of physical laws |
| Omniscient Agent | Infinite Information input and storage capabilities, ability to detect without affecting the system using infinitely fast material, no other omnipotent output abilities | Classical physics typical phenomena |
| Mix of Omniscient and Finite Intelligence Agent | Infinite Information input and storage capabilities via determinism, limitations on input and output abilities through the constancy of the speed of light and the equivalence principle | Relativity typical phenomena |
| Finite Agent | Information input, output, storage and creation capabilities between 0 and infinity | Quantum mechanics typical phenomena |
| Absolute Zero Agent | Zero capabilities in Information input, output, storage, creation, and control | Complete disappearance of physical phenomena and physical laws |
