## TL;DR

This paper proposes an extended harmonic maps theory that unifies general relativity, chaos, and quantum mechanics, suggesting it could serve as a universal framework for understanding fundamental physics.

## Contribution

The paper introduces an extended harmonic maps theory incorporating general relativity, connecting classical chaos and quantum mechanics within a single unified framework.

## Key findings

- Extended HM theory recovers classical chaos equations.
- Extended HM theory derives the Schrödinger equation.
- Proposes a universal theory linking gravity, chaos, and quantum physics.

## Abstract

General relativity and quantum mechanism are two separate rules of modern physics explaining how nature works. Both theories are accurate, but the direct connection between two theories was not yet clarified. Recently, researchers blur the line between classical and quantum physics by connecting chaos and entanglement. Here, we showed the early reported extended HM theory that included the general relativity can also be used to recover the classic chaos equations and even the Schrodinger equation in quantum physics, suggesting the extended theory of harmonic maps may act as a universal theory of physics.
