The IAN Equation

 

The IAN equation is expressed in this way:

∑I = ∑A + ∑N ← (∆Ĕi + jĆ)

Where:

∑I = The summation of Interims (generated entities or outcomes)

∑A = The summation of Intuitive Materials (the object’s elemental substances)

∑N = The summation of Embedded Inscriptions (the latent instructions or purpose)

∆Ĕi = Emergent Enabler (the activating force that awakens latent existence)

Jć = Evokement process (the process of joint creation).

The IAN Equation came into focus not as a rigid calculation, but as a synthesis with a purpose not merely to describe what happens, but to articulate the profound sequence of emergence itself. It formalizes a joint process where materials and inscriptions lie in a state of potential until emergent energy ignites their collaboration. Only at this point does an Interim make its appearance, a new entity born from the alignment of its components, a realization.

To ground this equation in something tangible, I often think of the electrolysis of water. Water contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms (the intuitive material). It also has molecular bonds and polarity (the embedded inscription). When emergent pulse (∆Ei) is applied, those atoms separate, producing hydrogen and oxygen gas (the Interims). Without that joint process (jĆ), the potential remains locked. The IAN Equation doesn’t just explain what happens; it reveals why it activates.

What makes this equation so powerful is the inclusion of the Interim Pulse (∆Ei) and its synthesis. Traditional equations tend to treat energy as merely a given, but the IAN equation insists that without ∆Ei, emergence doesn’t happen. A plant won’t photosynthesize without light. A neuron won’t fire without chemical triggers. A memory won’t form without stimuli. Energy is the power that makes all things alive.

Emergent energy isn’t standalone; it’s an evoked phenomenon. It does not simply exist on its own as a separate force. It is brought forth, or "evoked," as a direct consequence of the interaction between the material and the instructions embedded within that material.

Evokement, or joint causality (jĆ), is the joint process of creation, a convergence of elements in which an entity or phenomenon is temporarily brought into existence through the coordinated presence of intuitive materials and embedded inscriptions. Unlike spontaneous creation, evokement implies causality, structure, synthesis, and the temporary nature of the emerging Interim. It captures the idea that something doesn’t simply appear but is called into being by the coordinated presence of material and inscription.

The IAN formula presents a new way to think about existence by challenging traditional creation theory: all things are products of evokement (not spontaneous accidents, but structured outcomes triggered by specific conditions). This redefines how we view reality: if something exists, it was evoked into being by structure, synthesis, logic, and design. 

The equation also reshaped the theory of Latent Existence. A material might be present. Its inscription might be intact. But until ∆Ei enters the system, the Interim remains unrealized. This insight challenges the classical understanding of presence and absence. It reveals that reality is layered, possibility exists beneath actualization.

Therefore, the IAN Equation profoundly embodies Lawsin’s axiom: “Everything exists because other things exist; otherwise, it exists but does not exist”.

“Everything exists because other things exist; otherwise, it does not exists but it exists”.
