"The maximal generality (universality, comprehensiveness) criterion of a reality- theoretic identity, or ontologically necessary and sufficient "Theory of Everything", means that a fully general formal structure must be selected as the skeletal identity or ToE framework of reality. This structure is distributive by definition, applying hologically to every point and part of reality."

.....

Not to be nitpicky, but why? I feel like this sentence was generated by a Markov chain. "Hologically," I couldn't find a definition anywhere. I presume he means wholly?

Hology is a logical analogue of holography characterizing the most general relationship between reality and its contents, http://ctmucommunity.org/wiki/Hology.

Is this related to CTMU or are you confusing Carnegie Mellon University with CTMU?

It must mean that it is woven to every point and part of reality. Like time.

I would guess it was supposed to read »holistically« but it's hard to tell.
