This paper introduces a theory of everything grounded not in new categorical frameworks, but in the recognition of reality’s fundamental neutrality, a state of intrinsic balance underlying all phenomena, empirical and subjective alike. Traditional attempts to understand existence through defined structures such as science, philosophy, or religion invariably encounter anomalies, revealing inherent limitations in any categorical approach. By reconceptualizing measurable reality as interference patterns within a universal neutral "field," quantum mechanics and general relativity emerge naturally as complementary, scale-dependent expressions of a single underlying wave dynamic. The theory extends seamlessly into subjective domains, explaining emotions and beliefs as internal informational states whose external reflections create predictable, self-fulfilling circumstances. Emotions thus become directional indicators guiding systems back to equilibrium. By integrating previously separate domains into a single coherent principle of balance, this theory offers a universally applicable framework capable of addressing classical paradoxes and supporting interdisciplinary advancement, providing practical insights into how shifts in internal definitions can reliably influence external outcomes across all fields and everyday experiences.
