energy (ěn'ər-jē)
The capacity or power to do work, such as the capacity to move an object (of a given mass) by the application of force. Energy can exist in a variety of forms, such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, or nuclear, and can be transformed from one form to another. It is measured by the amount of work done, usually in joules or watts.
in·tel·li·gence /ɪnˈtɛlɪdʒəns/ Show Spelled[in-tel-i-juhns]
capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.

0 / 1 = 0 ,not undefined. Not to ruin the logic, but I want to prevent a prolonged discussion of the mathematics.

You will never be able to divide one by any number and reach zero. But, if you divide one by infinity, then you should be able to reach zero.

You "should be able to reach zero"?
This statement isn't definitive, and if what you stated was stated definitively, you'd have to be able to prove it as being definitive. Infinity is not definable as a definitive quantity or quality. It's conceptual, and only conceptual, and since that's the nature of infinity, it's not usable in the context that you've decided to use it.
If what you're proposing is a Theory of Everything, then you need to flesh it all out a lot more than this. Reality is precise and extremely airtight. Your theory needs to be as well. From what I've confronted in this arena, it's a 1/7 ratio statement/proof effort. Especially considering the range of impact that such a theory must deal with. If it can't explain literally everything, then it can't be a theory of anything. Just an observation.

All I can say is, I'm working on it.
If it is a close enough observation to the truth, then it is closer to someone else being to extrapolate the truth from it, and build upon it.

Very interesting... and I can't help but point out that your graphic depicting past/present/future creates a zero. Perhaps the space in between particles of energy that form our existence IS the zero. You know, empty space; nothingness.
Which culture of old was it, that did not have a concept of zero? I remember learning about it, but it escapes me just now.
Essentially, it seems like energy goes from boundless with no choices, to bound within a sentient life form where it has choices, to completely stagnant and caged in a corpse. Does it ever get back to being light??? Maybe that is the soul/spirit... the original spark of energy that chose to coagulate.
Fun to think about, in any case!
