A phase transition is when a system resides at
the critical point between it's static and chaotic
attractors. Such as a cloud residing at the critical
point between water and air.

To create a Grand Unified Theory we must
find a way to unite all the realms of the universe
into one model of understanding. Uniting the
four forces is not the answer. We must unite
the realms of quantum motion, classical motion
and evolution into one seamless view, explainable
within one frame of reference and mathematics.

We must unite Darwin, Heisenberg and Einstein.

This can be done by replacing a model that examines
the specific nature of things such as matter, light
and life, with a model that uses the ...behavior of
these realms at their phase transitions.
As matter, light and life all experience this behavior.
Which is when they stand poised at the boundary
between it's static and chaotic tendency.

For example. In a system comprising matter, light
and energy; matter would reside in the static
attractor basin, while energy defines the chaotic
attractor. When those two are at the boundary or
critical point between each other, when one can't tell if
it's matter or energy....particle or wave...then
light is generated. Light would fill the dynamic
attractor that results from the critical interaction
between static and chaotic states. Much as
a cloud is the dynamic attractor that results from
the critical interaction of water and air.

Another example. In a system comprising gravity, classical
motion and cosmic expansion; gravity would reside in the
static attractor basin, while cosmic expansion would
define the chaotic attractor. When those two are at the
boundary between each other, when one can't tell
if it's contracting or expanding...matter or energy....then
the dynamic attractor of classical motion is generated.

These two examples provide the smallest and largest
scale phase transition states in the universe. With
light being the observable result of the smallest transition
state, and classical motion the observable result of
the largest scale phase transition.

In complexity science, 'complex' is defined to be when a
system resides midway between it's own extremes
in possible behavior. Or simply at the phase transition state
within it's own possibility space.

Since quantum motion defines one extreme, and classical motion
the opposite extreme in possibility space, the two comprise
endpoints of a single system. The midpoint, or the phase
transition state between the resulting dynamic attractors
of light and motion, would be order. Or self-organization.
When using phase transitions to model the universe, we can
now treat quantum motion, evolution and classical motion
within the same system or frame of reference. And use the
mathematics of phase transitions for all three.
See links below for this math.

One model can explain the quantum and classical endpoints
in possible motion, while also defining the structure within
whether material or living order.

Nothing in the universe is left out.

Self-organization or evolution occur at the critical point
between ...light and classical motion.

Darwin, Heisenberg and Einstein United!
