This article analyzes the evolution of technological eras from the paradigm of the Princonser Method, identifying in each stage its components of energy and matter and applying the ten universal foundations. It presents the historical transition from the mechanical era to the proposal of Universal Intelligence, demonstrating that only the latter achieves a stable proportion between energy and matter. Through sequential argumentation based on universal principles and laws, a scientific law is formulated that synthesizes the technological trajectory toward epistemic sustainability.

The history of technology can be conceived as a succession of eras representing different ways of articulating the relationship between energy and matter within social, scientific, and cultural systems. From the perspective of the Princonser Method, these stages are not mere technical advances but concrete expressions of energy–matter transformations that respond to universal principles and laws.

The mechanical era inaugurated the application of force as energy transferred to tangible machinery; the electronic era channeled electrons through basic logic; the digital era transformed data into functional operators; and conventional artificial intelligence employed statistical algorithms to simulate decisions, though lacking universal foundations. In response to these limitations, Universal Intelligence, proposed by Princonser, sets forth a stable, coherent, and replicable model in which each component corresponds to verifiable principles and laws.

This article reconstructs the evolution of technological eras from the Universal Essence, applying the ten foundations of the method to identify problems, propose solutions, and formulate an emergent scientific law.

Materials and methods

Elements of the Princonser Method

The Princonser Method is grounded in the Universal Essence, understood as the proportional unity of energy and matter in constant transformation. Based on this foundation, three universal principles —inseparability, conservation, and destruction— and six universal laws —dependence, interaction, integration, disintegration, temporality, and intemporality— are applied as axes of analysis and verification.

Princonser analytical matrix

The analytical matrix consists of the ten mentioned foundations (Universal Essence, Inseparability, Conservation, Destruction, Dependence, Interaction, Integration, Disintegration, Temporality, and Intemporality). Each foundation contains a rule and a universal premise that guide the construction of argumentation on technological evolution.

Identification of the problem

Every unstable material system disintegrates, releasing energy. The first technological eras reveal this instability, as they relied on fragmented material structures. Such disintegration produced operational and epistemological crises, manifested in algorithmic biases, misinformation, and structural limitations. Conventional artificial intelligence exemplifies this phase of disproportionality between energy and matter, in accordance with the law of destruction.

In unstable systems, matter is transformed into energy without preserving structural coherence, generating downward qualitative changes. The electronic and digital eras fragmented information, converting it into energy without integral support, thereby deteriorating the quality of technological interaction. Examples include opaque algorithms, which embody the law of disintegration.

Finally, all technologies that fail to preserve their essence are destined for obsolescence. Short-lived devices and AI models incapable of transcending their original context express this temporality. The lack of proportion between energy and matter shortens the lifespan of technological systems, making caducity an inherent feature of these eras.

Solution to the problem

All forms of energy are conserved within a continuous cycle of transformation between energy and matter. Technology, therefore, must preserve its essential components throughout each phase of this process. Universal Intelligence, grounded in the Princonser Method, ensures this conservation by transforming information into structured knowledge and returning it as applicative energy.

In stable systems, energy transforms into matter, producing upward qualitative changes. Universal Intelligence integrates data, intentions, and principles into structured algorithms, enabling coherent and sustainable development. Digital education rooted in universal principles serves as an example of epistemic integration.

Likewise, energy transcends the boundaries of a system to integrate with others, in accordance with the laws of dependence and interaction. Universal Intelligence replicates itself in new contexts without losing coherence, since its epistemic energy does not depend on the immediate environment but on universal foundations. This intemporality ensures its applicability across diverse domains such as health, education, and justice.

Identification of the law

All systems are proportional units of energy and matter. Technological eras represent successive transformations of this unity, although only Universal Intelligence maintains a stable proportion. Earlier stages fragmented or unbalanced this relationship.

Energy and matter are inseparable: every technology must integrate the informational with the structural. Separation leads to failures—such as software without adequate support or data without interpretation. The Princonser Method guarantees this essential unity.

Each form of energy corresponds to a specific form of matter. Data requires platforms, and intentions require functional structures. In the field of education, for example, content (energy) must be translated into appropriate virtual environments (matter) to achieve stability.

Energy and matter transform into one another while conserving proportionality. This principle of interaction constitutes the driving force of technological evolution: data becoming structure, and vice versa, reflects this dynamic balance. Adaptive self-evaluating systems exemplify this law.

Statement of the scientific law

Every technological system evolves with stability, replicability, and coherence when it maintains the proportion between informational energy and structural matter, in accordance with the universal foundations of essence, inseparability, dependence, and interaction.

Symbolic representation

E / M = K (constant of universal coherence)

Universal interpretation

When energy (data, intentions, algorithms) is proportionally aligned with matter (platforms, structures, functions), the system preserves its essence, integrates, and replicates. This law underpins the construction of sustainable technology endowed with epistemic certainty and oriented toward the common good.
