1. Introduction
Modern complex systems modeling faces significant challenges in integrating multiple physical, chemical, and socio-economic phenomena into unified, computationally efficient frameworks (Anderson, 2019)[1]. Traditional approaches often require separate models for different phenomena, leading to computational inefficiency and integration challenges (Zhang et al., 2021)[2]. The SIGMA framework proposes a novel approach using multi-layered Boolean algebra combined with dynamic systems theory to address these limitations.
2.1 Multi-Layer Modeling
The SIGMA framework builds upon established multi-scale modeling techniques (Liu & Karimi, 2020)[3], extending them through the integration of Boolean algebraic representations. The fundamental structure can be represented as:
F(x,y,z,t) = αT(x,y,z,t) + σE(x,y,z,t) + μB(x,y,z,t)
where α, σ, and μ represent system-specific coefficients, similar to the multi-physics coupling approaches described by Chen et al. (2022)[4].
2.2 Boolean Algebraic Foundation
The framework's Boolean algebraic component draws from quantum Boolean algebras (Birkhoff & von Neumann, 1936)[5] and modern quantum computing theory (Nielsen & Chuang, 2010)[6]. This allows for efficient representation of state transitions and system dynamics using binary operators, similar to those employed in quantum circuit design.
2.3 Dynamic Systems Integration
The dynamic systems component incorporates principles from non-linear dynamics (Strogatz, 2018)[7] and complex adaptive systems theory (Holland, 2006)[8]. This enables the framework to model temporal evolution and system adaptation while maintaining computational efficiency.

SIGMA in Practice: Principles and Operation
The main principles of SIGMA:
Multi-Layered Modeling:
SIGMA uses a multi-layered structure to model various aspects of reality, from physics and chemistry to social and economic systems. Each layer represents a different domain, such as temperature, pressure, density, electric field, gravity and other physical parameters, as well as social and economic factors.
Example: in a chemical process, layers can include molecules, chemical reactions, temperature, pressure and the influence of external factors such as magnetic and electric fields.
Boolean Algebra for Data Analysis:
Boolean algebra is used to analyze the interactions and changes in data in these multi-layered systems, where each element can take two states: active (1) or inactive (0). This allows for optimized calculations and analysis, as well as the modeling of binary decisions in real time.
Example: The decision to turn a process on or off (e.g. turning on ventilation when equipment overheats) can be represented as a Boolean expression where the temperature is above the critical value (1) or below the critical value (0).
Dynamic Systems and Optimization:
All processes represented by layers are dynamic and change over time. SIGMA uses optimization methods to minimize costs, maximize productivity, and predict changes that may occur in the future.
Example: In the energy sector, optimizing energy distribution based on dynamically changing needs and energy sources (e.g. solar and wind farms).
Prediction and Simulation:
Predicting future states of a system based on current data. This allows predicting the behavior of systems and processes under different conditions, which is important for research, industry, and economics.
Example: Predicting changes in weather conditions based on historical data and current observations in order to optimize the operation of energy networks.

5. AI in Dynamic Systems and Real-World Simulations
Modeling Complex Systems: Many real-world systems are dynamic and constantly changing. SIGMA’s dynamic systems approach allows AI to be trained to deal with such variability and uncertainty. By simulating different layers of data (e.g., environmental, economic, societal), AI can be trained to recognize patterns and adjust accordingly.
Example: In climate modeling, SIGMA can simulate complex interactions between atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial layers, providing AI systems with the data needed to make predictions about future climate trends.
AI in Smart Cities: In the context of smart cities, SIGMA can help model and simulate various city-wide layers, such as traffic flow, energy consumption, pollution levels, and even social dynamics. AI models can then use this data to optimize traffic management, energy distribution, and urban planning in real-time.
Example: SIGMA can simulate traffic patterns in a city and help an AI system optimize traffic light timings, route planning, and emergency response strategies, minimizing congestion and improving overall city efficiency.
