Physical AI

A new paradigm where AI extends into the physical world governed by laws of physics

While AI has the ability to generate human language and abstract concepts, it has had limitations in understanding the physical world and its rules. However, with the emergence of Physical AI, AI now interacts with the real world. The domain of AI has expanded to the real world governed by physical laws. We at POLLUX see this as a new paradigm that fundamentally redefines the relationship between humans and the physical world.


"Physical AI constructs reality as information,

and then implements that constructed

virtual information back into physical reality."

Core Technology Concept of Physical AI

"This new fire gave humans the fundamental creative power to transform reality into information and reconstruct it back into physical form."


1. The Essence and Components of Physical AI

Physical AI is completed with four core components.

  1. Software 2.0
  2. Physical AI
  3. Digital Twin
  4. Omniverse

2. Metaphysics and Nomos: The Philosophical Foundation of Physical AI

We understand the fundamental principles of Physical AI through the conceptual contrast of Metaphysics and Nomos (norms).

Metaphysics: Towards the Idea

Metaphysics, meaning 'beyond physics' in Greek, is a branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental principles beyond physical phenomena. In Physical AI, Metaphysics represents the essence and archetype of things. It is the unfolding of potentiality before having a purpose.

Metaphysics goes beyond simply exploring "what is possible," providing a conceptual framework that enables AI to understand and utilize the fundamental laws of the physical world. Through this, AI can understand and predict the principles of complex interactions in the real world.

Nomos: Towards Organic Norms

Nomos is order. Not fixed rules from the outside, but Context generated from the flow of relationships between beings. This is how reality works due to some difference, and existence always manifests as 'differently generated existence' in some way. Nomos is precisely such an emergent field of multiplicities.

In Physical AI, a 'machine' is not a fragmented device that performs a certain function, but a collective entity that is always connected to the outside, exchanges flows, and generates itself. Now the machine is a "Nomos-like being," and function and existence are not fixed, but generated in the connected way.

Balance and Integration of Metaphysics and Nomos, and the System

The true innovation of Physical AI stems from the balance and integration of Metaphysics and Nomos. These two concepts work complementarily, and a complete system cannot be built with just one concept. The contrast between the two asks how they are integrated into a living system to build a self-generative, self-organizing world.

"Metaphysics is a 'potential structure',

Nomos is an 'operational order' that arises within that structure,

and the integration of the two forms an organic system capable of autonomous generation and self-renewal."

Metaphysics is the prototype of possibility that leaves open what the system can become, and Nomos is the real-time formed order of the ecosystem where multiplicities are generated and differences are coordinated within that possibility. The two are not separated, and the generated Nomos reveals the essential directionality again and renews metaphysics, so the system continuously opens itself, generates, and evolves. In the end, this structure is a system where technology becomes ontology and execution becomes thought.
