Having described how experience, information and understanding arise, the theory now turns its attention to some of the most fundamental questions in science: why can nature be described mathematically? Where do the laws of nature come from? How does complexity arise? And why does this complexity develop into order rather than chaos?

The points that follow argue that mathematics, the laws of nature, complexity and structure are not independent phenomena, but different expressions of the same underlying relational dynamics within KNOWING. What in science is often treated as separate problem domains is here described as consequences of emergence and Attractor Dynamics.

This section thus establishes the theory’s general explanation for why the universe appears ordered, intelligible and mathematically accessible. Mathematics appears as the abstract form that relations take. The laws of nature appear as the most stable attractors in the relational landscape. Complexity appears as the necessary consequence of further emergence. And order appears as the result of Attractor Dynamics’ continuous reorganisation towards ever higher and more integrated wholes.
