Abstract
In today's fragmented societies, a unified framework for communication and collaboration across different realities is crucial. We introduce Balanced Blended Space (BBS) as a framework for describing combinative reality, encompassing virtual, physical, and conceptual realms, all intrinsically connected. Interactions within these environments shape our perceptual space. This paper outlines key axiomatic assumptions, criteria for a universal framework, and fundamental terminology. We identify deep symmetries enabling the BBS framework, including Cognitive and Computational Symmetry, Physical and Virtual Symmetry, Mediation Pathway Symmetry, Space-Time Symmetry, and Sensory Symmetry. We propose tests to determine its viability, emphasizing virtual intelligence as a collaborative partner. We also establish the need for a syntax and its basic elements, demonstrating its use in mapping combinative realities. Using the performing arts as a test environment, we propose the Balanced Reality Performance System (BRPS) as a test instrument. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive BBS framework for future research, promoting a coherent way to describe the relationships within combinative reality.
