A totalizing eigenbasis (TEB) or a universal ontology is a set of totalizing ontological objects which are orthogonal (that is, independent from each other in construction and explanation) - but also span the explainable universe (can in concert explain everything that can be explained by any set of basis concepts).
A totalizing eigenbasis may also be relative to a restricted universe, such as "economics" or "game of life", or an optimal solution given a cost functions e.g. compactness or efficiency of explanations.
open questions
-
If the explainable universe is well-defined, what is the dimensionality of its TEB?
proposed totalizing eigenbases
-
waves, fractals, and memory/forgetting
-
clumping and diffusion/avalanche
