Universal Flux Theory Consciousness as the Net Stream of Our Evolution

This paper proposes the Universal Flux theory, which posits that consciousness is the net stream of ongoing evolutionary change. The theory treats evolution as a universal process that encompasses physical, biological, computational, and subjective domains, with relativity as its inherent fabric. All entities and events are considered relative causes and effects that collectively form a directional stream of evolution. Consciousness, on this account, is not a static property or an isolated computation but a continuous pattern of ongoing transitions, the net causal flux by which an entity tracks, responds to, and contributes to its evolutionary trajectory. In this universal flux governed by evolution, every event unfolds from prior causes along an inevitable trajectory. At each instant, the system follows a unique path determined by its configuration and environment. The only law that exists is causality and the relativity of those that accompany the flow. In such a universe, there is no force; everything is flow, from gravity to thoughts. Evolution, on this account, is the fundamental reality, and consciousness, as the manifestation of evolution, is our determined reality.
