The Universal Condensation Principle: A Unified Free-Energy Framework for Structure Formation Across All Scales

Key Points

• The research aims to establish a universal principle governing structure formation driven by free-energy considerations across different scales.
• Developed a theoretical framework for understanding condensation processes.
• Analyzed various physical and biological systems to illustrate the principle.
• Utilized mathematical modeling to connect free-energy dynamics with structure formation.
• Demonstrated that the condensation principle applies consistently across scales.
• Found correlations between free-energy reduction and stable structures in diverse contexts.
