## Abstract (arXiv)

Modern digital ecosystems feature complex, dynamic interactions among autonomous entities across diverse domains. Traditional models often separate agents and objects, lacking a unified foundation to capture their interactive behaviors. This paper introduces the Behavioral Universe Network (BUN), a theoretical framework grounded in the Agent-Interaction-Behavior (AIB) formalism. BUN treats subjects (active agents), objects (resources), and behaviors (operations) as first-class entities, all governed by a shared Behavioral Information Base (BIB). We detail the AIB core concepts and demonstrate how BUN leverages information-driven triggers, semantic enrichment, and adaptive rules to coordinate multi-agent systems. We highlight key benefits: enhanced behavior analysis, strong adaptability, and cross-domain interoperability. We conclude by positioning BUN as a promising foundation for next-generation digital governance and intelligent applications.
