This work presents Version 2 of a previously published article (March 23, 2026), proposing the Universal Replication Principle (URP) as a unifying conceptual framework for understanding persistence, replication, and structural evolution across different domains of the universe.According to the URP, physical configurations that achieve a certain degree of stability tend to persist and, under favorable dynamical conditions, generate new configurations with similar structural properties. From this perspective, phenomena such as the formation of gravitational structures, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the emergence of life can be interpreted as manifestations of a common underlying dynamic.In the cosmological domain, dark energy is interpreted as the observable manifestation of the expansion of the physical vacuum, understood as a dynamical state capable of extending its own structure. In the biological domain, the origin of life is framed as a natural continuation of processes of physical and chemical organization, leading to systems capable of informational replication.This revised version improves the conceptual clarity of the URP and refines its application across cosmology and biology, offering a unified interpretative framework consistent with existing theoretical models while suggesting new avenues for exploration.
