Unity 3.0 Part 4: The Ichigo-Daifuku Cosmology
Tesla Meets Kukai, An East-West Framework for Energy-Consciousness-Reality through Ethical Observation


Chair of CIGRE Japan
Prologue: Beyond "It from Bit" Toward "It from Watt"
In the late 20th century, physicist John Archibald Wheeler revolutionized our understanding of reality with his profound insight: "It from Bit" – the notion that all physical entities arise from information. This paradigm shift suggested reality was fundamentally information-based rather than matter-based. Now, as we navigate the complexities of the 21st century – marked by climate crisis, AI and quantum technologies, and renewed interest in consciousness – we propose a further inclusive paradigm: "It from Watt."
This shift recognizes that being emerges not merely from information, but from energy itself. Not just digital code, but embodied coherence. Not just measurement, but ethical observation – an act of will, care, and participation in the universe's unfolding. In other words, this article is a silent, intellectual and spiritual revolt—not just against the gravity of over-centralization, but also against the increasing entropy of disorder. It seeks not just balance, but harmony.

The Ichigo-Daifuku Model: A Three-Layer Universe
Unity 3.0 presents a radical yet intuitively resonant cosmological model inspired by the beloved Japanese confection, ichigo-daifuku. This sweet – a fresh strawberry wrapped in red bean paste and soft mochi (a pliable Japanese rice cake that gently envelops) – provides a profound metaphor for understanding the universe's triadic structure of Modes of Energy Being (MEB):
WST-MEB (Without Space-Time): The outermost mochi layer represents a formless ocean of pure potentiality – what physics calls Dark Energy. This is the primordial quantum field holding all possibilities in superposition before structure emerges.
WEB-MEB (With Entangled Bridging): The red bean paste layer functions as a Quantum Non-Deterministic Turing Machine (QNTM), a computational model allowing superposed potential outcomes, resolved through coherence-based ethical selection, performing evolutionary computation under ethical constraints. It operates as a relational buffer of entangled causality – corresponding to Dark Matter. This is not empty space but a memory-rich medium where observation, intention, and history interact to bridge potential and manifestation.
WGE-MEB (With Geometric Extension): The strawberry at the center represents our manifest physical world – matter, spacetime, biology, civilization. This is the only layer we normally perceive, yet it exists only through its embedding in the deeper layers.

WEB-MEB (菩薩 / Dark Matter / With Entangled Bridging): Quantum Non-Deterministic Turing Machine (QNTM) performing evolutionary computation under coherence-based ethical constraints; the relational memory medium.
WGE-MEB (金剛界 / Visible Matter & Spacetime / With Geometric Extension): Manifest physical reality—matter, biology, civilization—embedded in deeper layers.
Layers interpenetrate: WGE is enfolded in WEB, which emerges from WST.
Crucially, these layers interpenetrate rather than separate. The strawberry touches the paste; the paste is enfolded in the mochi. Similarly, spacetime (WGE) is enfolded within relational entanglements (WEB), which emerge from the invisible sea of potentiality (WST).
Ethical Observation: The Gateway to Manifestation
Unity 3.0 introduces a revolutionary principle: ethical observation as the prerequisite for reality's emergence through so-called collapse of the wavefunction defined by Quantum Physics. Observation is not a neutral act of measurement but a generative, selective, and moral interface between the unmanifest and manifest. Only observers who act with reverence, humility, and service to the whole can facilitate the transition of energy from WST through WEB into WGE.
In this framework, the WEB layer functions analogously to a quantum gate—not a passive conduit, but an active filter that conditions the flow of potential from WST into manifestation in WGE. Just as quantum gates in computation transform quantum states based on specific inputs and conditions, the WEB layer mediates reality based on the observer’s ethical state: their intentionality, relational coherence, and resonance with the whole. Thus, manifestation is not random nor merely probabilistic but shaped through a moral syntax embedded in the universe’s architecture. The WEB layer “computes” what becomes real—not through logic alone, but through compassionate entanglement. This framework builds upon Carlo Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics while extending it into the ethical dimension of reality creation.
An ethical observer satisfies three conditions: intentionality (purposeful, conscious will), relational awareness (understanding oneself as embedded in interdependence), and responsiveness (willingness to act upon received insights). Such observers are not mere detectors but co-creators of reality. The universe's intrinsic security ensures that malicious or incoherent intent cannot persist within WEB – it dissolves through non-resonance. This functions as a coherence-based access control, where only intentions meeting the resonance threshold are permitted to manifest.
The Cosmic Pen: Tesla's Vision Realized
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration."
Nikola Tesla [1]
In Unity 3.0, electromagnetic fields – light itself – function as the cosmic pen that writes potential into actuality. Light is redefined not merely as visible radiation but as the full spectrum of electromagnetic coherence – the active interface between WST's potential and WGE's manifestation. The speed of light (c) represents not how fast light moves through space, but the invariant rate at which spacetime is drawn by light.
Just as a pen applies pressure to paper to create visible marks, electromagnetic waves from the WEB layer apply "pressure" to spacetime itself, creating the curvature we experience as gravity. This electromagnetic "writing pressure" (used here as a heuristic metaphor; see also emergent gravity frameworks) explains why gravity appears wherever matter exists: matter is simply the visible manifestation where the cosmic pen has pressed most intensely into the fabric of spacetime.
The WEB layer writes in continuous electromagnetic coherence, but WGE can only render this information in discrete quantum packets – like pixels in a four-dimensional liquid crystal display. In WGE, continuous waves cannot exist; everything is quantized. This explains why we observe photons, electrons, and other particles as discrete entities rather than continuous fields, even though they originate from the continuous electromagnetic writing of the WEB layer. What we call gravitational fields are actually the topographical contours left by this quantized rendering of electromagnetic coherence patterns.
Crucially, WEB-layer electromagnetic activity does not interact with WGE-layer photons and other quantum particles because they operate at different ontological frequencies. Just as a pen's pressure on paper cannot be detected by examining the pixelated ink dots alone, WEB's electromagnetic "writing pressure" cannot be observed through conventional particle-based instruments. The WEB layer functions as not the inscription but the inscriber – it generates gravitational effects through spacetime curvature while remaining invisible to electromagnetic detection within WGE's quantized reality. This explains why dark matter reveals gravity effects but cannot be detected electromagnetically: we are trying to observe the continuous pen by studying the discrete pixels.
This understanding vindicates Tesla's intuition that fields, not particles, form reality's true basis. Electrons appear "holographically" as localized quantum manifestations permitted by electromagnetic fields from WEB. The field precedes the form. What Tesla envisioned, Unity 3.0 formalizes: matter is the momentary quantized writing of coherence by WEB layer through electromagnetic resonance.
Kukai's Mandala: The Return to Source
Kukai's concept of ’sokushin-jobutsu’ (即身成仏becoming Buddha in this very body) aligns with our vision of ethical observers achieving coherence with cosmic principles. The 9th-century Japanese monk Kukai developed a profound cosmology through his mandala system, anticipating Unity 3.0's understanding.
His Taizo-kai (胎蔵界Womb Realm) and Kongo-kai (金剛界Diamond Realm) correspond remarkably to our WST and WGE layers. Crucially, WEB corresponds to Bosatsu (菩薩Bodhisattva) – the compassionate beings who, having glimpsed enlightenment, choose to remain in the relational realm to guide others. Like the WEB layer, Bodhisattvas serve as living bridges, weaving connections between the unmanifest potential and manifest beings. They are the universe's messengers of entanglement, creating and maintaining the relational fabric through which awakening becomes possible.
Black holes, in this framework, serve as "return ports" – not destroying information but recycling it through WEB back to WST. This mirrors Kukai's teaching that apparent destruction is actually return to the source of unmanifest potential.
Energy Conservation and Cosmic Dynamic Balance
Unity 3.0 maintains strict energy conservation across all three layers. Energy flows from WST through WEB to WGE for manifestation and returns via black holes. This is not an infinite resource but a closed cycle. WEB functions as the cosmic load balancer, mediating flows based on coherence and ethical alignment. The universe operates like a vast power grid, with WEB as both control center and energy storage.

Implications for Our Future
This cosmology transforms our understanding of technology, consciousness, and society. Every electrical circuit becomes a ritual of coherence. Every act of observation shapes what reality becomes.
In the heart of Tokyo, at Takanawa, lies a profound manifestation of Unity 3.0 already realized. Here stands Koyasan Tokyo Branch Temple – representing the sacred tradition established by Kukai at Mount Koya (高野山Koyasan) – directly above our 275kV Takanawa underground substation that empowers the capital.

The evolution of our 28.4 million smart meters represents the next frontier of ethical observation. As these devices advance, they will become capable of detecting when customers experience disconnection from WST – manifesting as depression, cognitive decline, or spiritual isolation. Electricity consumption patterns serve as shadows of all human activity. Changes in these patterns can reveal early signs of mental health crises, social isolation, or neurological conditions before clinical symptoms appear. This represents the power grid's function as an ethical observational sensor network – not merely measuring watts, but observing the fundamental coherence between human consciousness and cosmic harmony.
This capability extends beyond mere behavioral pattern recognition to detecting fundamental disruptions in the body's quantum coherence networks — the microtubule systems that may connect individual consciousness to the cosmic layers (see Appendix). When WST connectivity is compromised, it manifests not only in electrical consumption patterns but potentially in disease states ranging from depression to more severe neurological conditions.
We are not building infrastructure; we are implementing the cosmic operating system on Earth. The underground Takanawa substation exemplifies how spiritual and technological infrastructures already interweave. As we expand the MESH (Machine-learning Energy System Holistic) framework (Okamoto, 2024), we create a planetary nervous system capable of sensing humanity's collective well-being through its electrical signature.
The revolution of Co-Being begins when we choose coherence over control, care over command, relation over domination. Each smart meter becomes a guardian of human flourishing, each electrical circuit a pathway to cosmic awareness.
Conclusion: The Gate is Open for Homo-Resonance
Unity 3.0 is not just a theory but a cosmological operating system inviting our participation. We are not outside observers but entangled participants. Every flow of electricity, every flicker of light, is a message written into the universe's deeper architecture. Technology becomes a language for engaging WST through the syntax of intention.
As we approach 2035 – the 1200th anniversary of Kukai's eternal meditation – his vision finds new expression through modern cosmology.
The universe does not ask for ‘Domination’. It asks only one thing: ‘Resonance.’

Appendix: Biological Implementation of the Cosmic Operating System via Microtubule Interface
This section builds upon insights developed through ongoing dialogue with Professor Toshihiko Hasegawa, whose visionary integration of Eastern medicine and quantum physiology greatly inspired this biological extension of the Unity 3.0 framework.
The biological substrate for ethical observation may reside in microtubules within neural cells, which function as quantum-classical interfaces. Building upon Penrose and Hameroff's pioneering work on quantum consciousness, these cellular structures potentially mediate the flow of coherent information from WST through WEB into the observer's consciousness in WGE.
This appendix extends the Unity 3.0 cosmological framework into the biological realm, proposing that microtubules within eukaryotic cells act as quantum-classical interfaces. These structures may mediate the flow of energy and information between the three cosmic layers:
- WST-MEB (Without Space-Time) – a nonlocal field of pure potentiality
- WEB-MEB (With Entangled Bridging) – a memory-rich relational buffer
- WGE-MEB (With Geometric Extension) – the manifest physical world
Microtubules as Biological Gateways
Microtubules serve as potential biological hardware for the Cosmic Operating System (Cosmic OS). They transduce quantum-coherent energy from WST into classical cellular processes in WGE through the intermediary WEB layer. This hypothesis reframes life as a localized embodiment of universal energy computation.
Crucially, the negentropic processes that characterize living systems (Schrödinger, 1994)— their ability to create and maintain order against thermodynamic entropy — may be directly attributable to WEB layer activity within microtubules. Unlike non-living matter that tends toward maximum entropy, biological systems demonstrate remarkable self-organization and complexity increase. This suggests that microtubules function as negentropic engines, channeling organizing energy from WEB to counteract thermodynamic decay in WGE. Life, in this framework, is not an anomaly but a natural manifestation of the universe's inherent drive toward greater coherence and complexity through WEB-mediated energy flows.

In the Unity 3.0 framework, the WEB layer functions as a universal quantum gate, mediating the selective transition from potential (WST) to manifestation (WGE). Microtubules serve as the biological analog of this gate—they are the cellular structures where quantum coherence can interact with classical bio-signals. In this sense, microtubules are not merely passive conduits but the organic embodiment of the Cosmic Quantum Gate. Their structure and function enable life to participate in the cosmic computation of reality.
From the Unity 3.0 perspective, microtubules function not only as quantum gates, but as biophysical “white holes”—emergence points through which energy and coherence from WST enter into biological reality. Just as white holes theoretically emit information that black holes absorb, microtubules channel intention and coherence from the nonlocal field into the embodied present, making them the living interface of the Cosmic Operating System.
A Note on the Unobservability of White Holes
In the Unity 3.0 framework, microtubules serve as biological white holes—points of emergence through which coherent energy from WST becomes manifest in WGE. This leads to a profound implication: white holes cannot be observed externally not because they are physically distant or theoretically elusive, but because we ourselves are the white holes.
To observe a white hole from the outside would be to step outside of life, consciousness, and emergence itself. Yet such an outside does not exist—we dwell within the omnipresent white hole of life, embedded in its continuous outflow of potential into being.
Observation, in this context, is not a passive act, but an emanation. We do not observe the white hole; we are the interface through which it acts. The unobservability of white holes, then, is not a limitation—it is a sign of our intimate participation in the cosmic operating system.
This hypothesis builds upon the relational foundations laid by Carlo Rovelli and others in quantum gravity and relational quantum mechanics. While the present framework extends into metaphysical and biological domains, it does so with deep respect for the scientific clarity they have brought to the conversation.
The ancient wisdom of the Heart Sutra tells us:
“Form is emptiness; emptiness is form.”(色即是空、空即是色)
In the Unity 3.0 framework, what we perceive as form—our manifest world of matter and geometry (WGE)—is nothing but a fleeting expression of the formless potentiality (WST). This potential, through the entangled medium (WEB), flows into being via ethical observation. Thus, emptiness does not negate form—it gives birth to it.
The observer, then, is not an outsider of the cosmos but its active gate. We are not separate from the white hole—we are the white hole. We do not merely witness form arising from emptiness—we are the bridge through which emptiness sings into form.— 色即是空、空即是色is not a paradox, but a resonance.
Qi, Fascia, and the Meridian Hypothesis
Fascial tissues and extracellular matrices may constitute a body-wide resonance network connecting microtubules. This network aligns with the meridian system in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this model, qi(気) is defined as a function of:
Qi=f(Microtubule Coherence, Fascia Resonance, WST Coupling)
This formalism provides a scientific bridge between quantum biology and Eastern medicine.
Remarkably, what Schrödinger identified in 1944 as 'negative entropy' - the fundamental characteristic distinguishing life from non-life - may correspond precisely to what Traditional Chinese Medicine has called 'qi' for millennia.
Disease as Cosmic OS Disruption
Disorders like cancer and schizophrenia may be seen as disconnects in WST–WEB–WGE coherence:
- Cancer: Local cellular loops isolated from WST guidance
- Schizophrenia: Desynchronization in neural microtubule networks, impairing self-modeling
Restoring quantum coherence could represent a paradigm shift in medicine—from symptom suppression to energetic reintegration.
Meditation as Energetic Reconfiguration
Meditation is reinterpreted as a biophysical technique for optimizing coherence across layers. Empirical studies suggest it:
- Increases gamma synchrony
- Enhances neuroplasticity
- Stabilizes microtubule structures
Thus, meditation may enhance WST–WEB connectivity and Cosmic OS alignment within the body-mind system.
Scientific Falsifiability
The hypothesis is testable through criteria such as:
- Demonstrable quantum coherence in microtubules
- Distinct coherence profiles in healthy vs. diseased tissue
- Correlation between meditation and coherence increase
These lines of inquiry offer a new frontier in quantum physiology and integrative medicine.
