Overview

The proposal of the Energy Quantum Theory (EQT) is not merely to construct a mathematically self-consistent new model; it carries three interconnected, progressively deepening philosophical and scientific missions. These missions directly address the fundamental dilemmas of contemporary physics, aiming to reconstruct the foundation of natural philosophy and return physics to its core mission of explaining natural phenomena rather than merely fitting data. The first mission is to terminate static ontology, shifting physics from an obsession with ``entities'' to a focus on ``processes''; the second is to provide a physical foundation for irreversibility, proving that the arrow of time is not an additional assumption but an inevitable result of the universe's fundamental dynamics; the third is to reveal that complexity is local transient emergence, thereby dissolving teleological cosmology and establishing a non-cumulative, non-teleological, yet creatively vibrant natural picture. These three missions collectively constitute the theoretical core of EQT and provide the logical thread for the unfolding of this book. These three missions jointly point to a unified picture: the universe is a sea of irreversible processes driven by energy gradients, with local complexity surging and receding like waves, while the overall scale and total potential energy of the ocean remain stable. This picture is neither mechanical determinism (due to the historicity of processes) nor teleology (due to the absence of an ultimate goal), but a generative naturalism---the meaning of the universe lies not in its endpoint but in its processes; not in its whole but in its local creations. EQT provides a precise mathematical framework and observable predictions for this picture through frequency division, gradient dynamics, and resonance mechanisms, grounding philosophical insights in science. This book will unfold according to these three missions: the first layer (Chapters 1--4) establishes process ontology, terminating the static entity view; the second layer (Chapters 5--9) reveals the physical mechanisms of irreversibility, unifying fundamental interactions; the third layer (Chapters 10--13) elucidates the principle of non-cumulative emergence, exploring humanity's place in the universe. This is not only a paradigm shift in physics but a rebirth of natural philosophy---it fuses Whitehead's ``process is reality, '' Prigogine's ``from being to becoming, '' and Spinoza's ``God is nature'' into a coherent, testable, and creatively vibrant 21st-century cosmology.
