Abstract The concept of “winning” has long been embedded in both biological and human-made systems — from natural selection to sports, business, and politics. Traditionally associated with dominance, survival, and superiority, this concept often leads to imbalance and systemic failure when misapplied. This paper reframes the notion of winning through a universal formula grounded in three core natural laws: the law of karma (system integrity), the law of balance in nature, and the feedback mechanism of conscious minds. By integrating evolutionary theory, systems thinking, and ethical foresight, this framework aims to guide human decision-making and artificial intelligence (AGI) toward sustainable and harmonious outcomes across all domains of competition.

Abstract This paper explores the psychological, social, and biological development of what can be termed the illusion of individuality—the perception of a self-contained, autonomous identity—across the stages of human growth from the womb to adulthood. While individuality is socially and functionally necessary, its illusionary nature is often unexamined. Drawing from developmental psychology, neuroscience, and systems theory, this paper presents a structured view of how this illusion emerges and is reinforced, culminating in a stable yet artificial sense of separateness from the environment, society, and nature.

Abstract The illusion of individuality—the belief that the self exists as an independent, isolated entity—is a foundational cause of imbalance in both personal and societal systems. This paper explores how this illusion can be transformed into relational intelligence through the lens of Angelito Malicse’s Universal Formula, which is grounded in three universal laws of nature: the law of karma as system feedback, the law of balance, and the law of nature. By integrating this transformation into a holistic educational framework, we propose a scalable method to reprogram decision-making processes at individual, societal, and leadership levels. This transition is essential for restoring systemic harmony and addressing the root causes of human suffering, ignorance, and dysfunction in modern governance and society.

Abstract This paper explores how the illusion of individuality — the human perception of being a separate, autonomous entity — evolved into the specialization of skills and knowledge across human societies. Drawing from cognitive science, anthropology, and systems thinking, the paper connects this evolutionary development to the Universal Formula proposed by the author, particularly the Law of Karma (as cause-effect-system) and the Law of Balance in Nature. It argues that while individuality is illusory at a metaphysical level, its psychological utility has contributed significantly to the development of functional societal systems. However, the illusion must be balanced by systemic feedback mechanisms to prevent societal fragmentation. This perspective offers a new direction for holistic education and leadership training.

Abstract Brain development is a continuous, complex process shaped by the interplay between genetic programming and environmental input. From the prenatal stage through adolescence, numerous factors—including maternal nutrition, caregiver responsiveness, and enriched stimulation—significantly influence neural growth and cognitive outcomes. This paper presents an integrative overview of critical developmental periods, key biological and psychosocial influences, and evidence-based strategies to support optimal brain maturation. Special emphasis is placed on prenatal nutrient sufficiency and adolescent prefrontal cortex development. Practical implications for healthcare, parenting, and education are discussed to encourage holistic and preventive approaches to brain health.

Abstract This paper examines the processes by which corruption becomes normalized within a society, the resulting socio-economic and institutional impacts, and potential strategies for reversal. Grounded in scholarly literature, the analysis highlights how institutionalization, rationalization, and socialization mechanisms embed corrupt practices into organizational and civic life. The consequences span erosion of trust, weakened governance, moral decline, and economic inefficiencies. The study concludes with recommendations rooted in transparency, norm change, and institutional strengthening.

Abstract This paper explores the relationship between human adaptation and suffering through the lens of a proposed universal formula consisting of three universal laws of nature: the Law of Karma (cause and effect/system integrity), the Law of Feedback Mechanism (mind-environment interaction), and the Law of Balance in Nature (natural equilibrium). While the law of adaptation allows individuals to survive and adjust to harsh conditions, such as homelessness or slum life, this paper argues that adaptation alone does not eliminate suffering. Instead, it often masks deeper systemic problems that violate natural laws. Through analysis, examples, and the application of the universal formula, the paper shows how understanding and implementing these laws can lead to more just and balanced societies.

Abstract This paper explores the inherent beauty and coherence of biological laws as they govern life at every level, from microscopic processes to large-scale ecological systems. By integrating philosophical reflection with scientific principles, it illustrates how biological laws, such as heredity, natural selection, homeostasis, and systemic feedback, contribute not only to the functionality of life but also to its inherent harmony. This reflection is framed within the context of the universal law of balance in nature, which underpins the universal formula proposed by the author. This law suggests that all natural and human systems must operate without defects and in dynamic equilibrium to function properly and sustain life.

Abstract This paper proposes that the concept of entropy—originally a thermodynamic principle describing the natural tendency of systems toward disorder—can be applied metaphorically and functionally to human society. It argues that many societal issues, including corruption, environmental degradation, educational failure, and social unrest, can be interpreted as manifestations of increasing entropy within human systems. The paper presents a solution through a Universal Formula, grounded in three foundational laws of nature: the Law of Karma as System Integrity, the Law of Balance in Nature, and the Law of Feedback Mechanism. It argues that these principles provide a framework for reversing societal entropy through holistic education, ethical governance, and conscious leadership. References from physics, systems theory, and social sciences are used to support this interdisciplinary model.

Abstract This paper explores the paradox of individual achievement within the philosophical and scientific claim that individuality is an illusion. Drawing upon Angelito Malicse’s universal formula—which integrates the law of karma, the universal law of balance in nature, and feedback mechanisms—this discussion reframes individual achievement as the emergent product of systemic, interconnected processes governed by natural law. Through references to cognitive science, Buddhist philosophy, and systems theory, the paper offers a holistic understanding of how achievements are possible and meaningful even in the absence of a fixed individual self.

Abstract This paper explores the philosophical and systemic implications of the illusion of individuality in the context of capitalist economics, analyzed through the lens of the universal formula—a framework grounded in the law of balance in nature, the law of karma as systemic cause and effect, and the feedback mechanism between conscious minds. The essay argues that capitalism, by relying on a belief in the autonomous self, creates systemic imbalances. It proposes a holistic educational approach to realign individual and collective decision-making with natural law and long-term sustainability.

Abstract This thesis explores the evolution of organized religion as an early and necessary, yet ultimately limited, phase in the broader context of human information evolution. Drawing from anthropology, cognitive science, information theory, and systems thinking, this paper argues that organized religion functioned as an early adaptive mechanism to consolidate knowledge, regulate behavior, and transmit cultural values. However, its rigid structures and dogmatic tendencies signal its limitations in adapting to higher-order systems of knowledge. The thesis concludes that organized religion represents a premature but foundational stage in humanity’s continuous evolution toward more adaptive, decentralized, and evidence-based information systems.

Introduction The concept of territory has evolved over millennia, deeply intertwined with biology, human social development, political structures, legal systems, and technological advances. Territory is not only a geographical space but also a reflection of power, identity, and control. This paper explores the evolution of territoriality across multiple disciplines—biological, anthropological, geographical, political, legal, sociological, and technological—to provide a holistic understanding of how humans have come to organize and govern space.

Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive overview of global research activity in the hard sciences and engineering fields as of 2025. Drawing from data sourced from leading bibliometric databases, international science organizations, and research analytics firms, the paper analyzes total research output, country-by-country publication performance, discipline-level trends, per capita productivity, and workforce statistics. Emphasis is placed on emerging technologies, international collaborations, and comparative data between advanced economies and developing nations such as the Philippines.

Abstract Albert Einstein’s revolutionary contributions to physics were not developed in isolation. His work was shaped by a variety of scientific and philosophical figures whose ideas provided foundational insights or conceptual challenges. This paper explores the major intellectual influences on Einstein, including physicists such as Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, and Ludwig Boltzmann, as well as philosophers like Ernst Mach and Baruch Spinoza. Through an examination of their theories and Einstein’s engagement with them, we gain a deeper understanding of the development of modern physics and the intellectual lineage of relativity and quantum theory.

Abstract Isaac Newton (1643–1727), one of the most influential figures in the history of science, did not develop his revolutionary ideas in isolation. His groundbreaking work in physics, mathematics, and astronomy was deeply rooted in the intellectual heritage of his predecessors. This paper explores the thinkers and traditions that shaped Newton’s thought, including key contributions from René Descartes, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Christiaan Huygens, and Robert Boyle, as well as influences from classical antiquity, theology, and alchemical traditions. By examining these sources, we better understand how Newton synthesized diverse ideas into a unified scientific framework.

Abstract The widespread availability of information through the internet—commonly referred to as the democratization of information—has transformed global access to knowledge, learning, and participation in societal systems. While this development has enabled tremendous progress in education, civic participation, and innovation, it has also generated unprecedented challenges, including misinformation, polarization, and manipulation of public perception. This paper explores the dual nature of internet-based information democratization and its impact on individual decision-making and collective systems. It critically analyzes the connection between internet influence and free will within the framework of natural laws, particularly the law of balance, the law of karma, and the law of feedback. The paper argues for a foundational educational framework grounded in critical thinking, digital ethics, and system awareness to preserve social and psychological balance in the digital age.

Abstract Capitalism has played a central role in the evolution of modern society. Its foundational principles—competition, profit motive, and capital accumulation—have propelled technological innovation, economic growth, and improved standards of living. However, this system is not without criticism, especially regarding inequality, environmental degradation, and market failures. This paper explores the mechanisms through which capitalism drives societal progress, compares capitalism to socialism, and examines the likely directions capitalism may evolve in the 21st century.

Abstract This paper examines the principal causes of major wars in history—such as power struggles, nationalism, economic competition, ideological conflict, alliances, miscommunication, and historical grievances—within the framework of three universal principles: Karma (cause and effect/system integrity), Balance in Nature, and Feedback Mechanisms of Conscious Minds. These are correlated with leading theories in international relations—including realism, power‑transition theory, and the bargaining model of war—to offer an integrated analytical perspective.

Abstract: This paper explores the conceptual and physical similarities and differences between electromagnetic waves—specifically light—and the vibrational states of fundamental strings in string theory. While both phenomena involve vibrations, their underlying nature and physical interpretations differ significantly. The paper argues that string theory offers a deeper ontological explanation of particles such as the photon, yet it does not equate the electromagnetic wave with the mechanical vibration of a string in the classical sense. The relationship is one of theoretical embedding rather than direct equivalence.

Abstract This paper explores the profound conceptual and structural parallels between string theory in physics and music theory, grounded in the application of three universal laws: the law of karma (cause and effect and system integrity), the law of balance in nature, and the principle of feedback mechanisms among conscious systems. Through comparative analysis, it is shown that both domains—seemingly disparate—embody the same fundamental principles of vibration, harmony, balance, and feedback, thereby highlighting an elegant unity between science and art.

Abstract Music, though often considered a cultural artifact, can be understood as a natural outcome of the evolutionary processes that favor systems promoting balance, communication, and cooperation. This paper explores how music emerged as a biologically and socially significant phenomenon and examines its deep alignment with the universal law of balance in nature, a central component of the universal formula proposed by Angelito Malicse. Music serves as both a mirror and mechanism of balance within the individual, across societies, and between humans and the broader natural world. By exploring the evolutionary, neurological, and ecological foundations of music, this paper illustrates how nature did not invent music intentionally, but shaped the conditions for its emergence as a feedback mechanism essential to human life and societal order.

Abstract The concept of individuality is central to human experience and biological function, yet many philosophical and scientific traditions argue that it is, at its core, an illusion. This paper examines why individuality, even if not ultimately real in a metaphysical sense, must evolve within nature. Drawing from evolutionary biology, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and systems theory, the argument presented here is that emerges as a functional individuality construct—an adaptive illusion necessary for survival, decision-making, and complex social behavior. Though constructed, individuality serves as a crucial interface through which organisms interact with their environment and with one another.

Abstract Human evolution followed a unique path compared to other species, resulting in the emergence of complex language, cumulative culture, and advanced social structures. This paper explores the biological, environmental, and cultural mechanisms that drove human divergence, emphasizing the feedback loops between ecological pressures, brain development, tool use, and social complexity. Supported by contemporary research in anthropology, evolutionary biology, and cognitive science, the analysis shows that while all species adapt to their environments, Homo sapiens adapted through innovation and cooperation, leading to a trajectory unlike any other.

Abstract This paper explores the fundamental laws of nature that have governed humanity’s transformation from primitive culture to highly advanced civilizations. Drawing on the universal formula developed by Angelito Malicse—specifically the Law of Karma (cause and effect with systemic integrity), the Law of Balance in Nature, and the Feedback Mechanism between Conscious Minds—this framework explains the dynamic progression of civilization and the continual potential for refinement and moral evolution.
