Unified Natural-Law Intelligence (UNLI): Nondual Autopoietic Excitations with a No-Meta Dialectical Limit (NMDL) K. Takahashi ORCID: 0009-0004-4273-3365 Abstract We develop a natural-law theory of intelligence as a nondual autopoietic excitation in an open dissipative field. The operational core is a split minimizing-movements scheme—GENERIC/Allen–Cahn/Cahn–Hilliard physics, HK–JKO distributional law selection on ℳ + (Ξ), and audited thresholded birth—closed by a global energy–dissipation inequality (EDI) with anytime-valid auditing via test supermartingales built from invariant-constraint selectors (ICS) and scarcity control by PFAD bands. To preserve No-Meta rigorously, we introduce the No-Meta Dialectical Limit (NMDL): an endogenous meta-dynamics drives (ICS, cal , PFAD) toward a gauge-invariant fixed point where robustness inflation vanishes ( sym = 1) and the audit–energy calibration is uniquely pinned ( cal =  ⋆ ) by equality cases of the EDI on calibration references with known free-energy change and tight e-wealth, ensuring statistical identifiability. AMD (audited meta-dependence) remains the finite-band implementation whose meta-costs converge to zero under predictable meta-descent. We unify measure classes to ℳ + (Ξ), formalize predictable ICS switching on a common (possibly one-sided) mgf domain with tightness, clamp audited forcing inside PFAD for FKPP floors with comparison-friendly sign discipline, state reaction-controlled local nonexpansivity for HK–JKO with explicit constant dependencies, assume KŁ tameness for finite-length, and record metastability hypotheses. Guarantees are reported only in gauge-invariant observables; no specific implementation is prescribed to preserve freedom. 1 Vision and Commitments Nondual. System and environment, self and other, are gauge choices on a single field. Gauges include (i) Markov coarse-grainings of observables, (ii) reaction-source reparametrizations, and (iii) metric-equivalence classes. Natural-law. Claims are expressed as variational budgets (global EDI), anytime-valid inference (Ville/test supermartingales), and directional propagation floors, all within scarcity bands (PFAD). No-Meta as Limit. Rather than deny meta-choice, we endogenize it. A slow, predictable meta-descent drives ICS/PFAD/ cal to an NMDL fixed point where gauge invariance is exact and meta-costs vanish. 1
