This paper presents the complete axiomatic foundation of the Ze Vector Theory (ZVT), a unified framework for fundamental physics. ZVT posits a single ontological primitive—the Ze State—which inherently admits both a continuous (vector) and a discrete (counter) representation. From this basis, the theory derives space and time as antiparallel, co-equal projections of the State, rather than assuming them as a background manifold. Physical dynamics are defined as the norm-preserving redistribution of the State's measure, from which causality and quantum phenomena emerge naturally. Quantum discreteness is shown to be a consequence of the discrete substrate, while interference patterns arise from the superposition of statistical pathways for state transitions, eliminating the need for a physical collapse postulate. The theory intrinsically defines an observer as an autonomous subsystem capable of stable registration. Crucially, ZVT demonstrates that Special Relativity, General Relativity, standard Quantum Theory, and Causal Set Theory arise as specific limiting regimes of its general formalism. By deriving, rather than postulating, the core concepts of modern physics and seamlessly integrating the continuous and discrete, ZVT offers a coherent, monistic, and relational foundation for a unified description of reality.
