Supervenience: (An Attempt at) A Unified Theory of the Universe

The following is a work in progress, not all resources have been reviewed or vetted.

Physics & The Beginning of the Universe

Event: The Big Bang (BB) 
Time: 13.7 billion years ago [1]


History of the Universe - gravitational waves are hypothesized to
arise from cosmic inflation, an expansion just after the Big
Bang. (see: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:History_of_the_Universe.svg)

Clarification: "The big bang is not like an explosion of matter in
  otherwise empty space; rather, space itself began with the big bang
  and carried matter with it as it expanded"[2]

Chemistry: The Forming of the Elements

2. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN, primordial nucleosynthesis): Quarks
   combined to form Hydrogen (and Deuterium, Hydrogen isotope),
   Helium, Lithium, And Beryllium nuclei (no atoms yet; too hot).

Time: ~10 seconds to ~20 minutes (after BB)

Evidence: ???

3. Recombination: +300,000 years, Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, And Beryllium atoms created; lightest of the elements.
Evidence: "Echoes" from Cosmic Microwave Background http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/bb_tests_cmb.html

4. Nuclear Fusions:

The Nervous System & NeurologyϮ

Ϯ I am taking Neurology to mean the "scientific study of the
nervous system," 1680s, from Modern Latin neurologia, from Modern
Greek neurologia (1660s)
(see etymology of neurology)

Hypotheses:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RbPQG9WTZM
The following should be considered as axioms in sequence:
- Prokaryotic Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
- action potential sodium and potassium ions channels (repeaters, like alternating current, v. DC)
- Synapses, molecular pores
- receptors (came first), glutamate receptors (before multi-cellular life)
Glutamate transport in wild-type and mutant strans of escherichia coli
- neurotransmitters
- basic circuits (synapse 

Other Hypotheses:

- Evolutionary Neuroscience (p.45) The Auricularia Hypothesis
- Hemichordate Hypothesis
- Inversion Hypothesis
