Abstract

This paper presents the Principle of Universal Replication (PUR), an ontological framework according to which all stable forms of coherence—ranging from physical vacuum to matter and life—tend to preserve and reproduce themselves over time. The PUR does not introduce new physical forces; instead, it identifies the fundamental property that enables the persistence of ordered configurations in the cosmos. Under this perspective, processes such as vacuum expansion, matter stability, and the continuity of physical laws can be understood as manifestations of the same primordial impulse of being. The paper explores the cosmological implications of the PUR, its conceptual compatibility with the ΛCDM model, and the reasons why it rules out the possibility of a final heat death of the universe.
