Abstract
In the previous article, I proposed a new hypothesis that one of the general rules of nature, the combination-sharing rule, is based on the regularity sharing phenomenon. Here I will demonstrate this hypothesis comprehensively and concretely. The study found that the essence of this rule is the selective-activation, sharing, and matching-fusion from various potentials in the process of combining different things. The intrinsic mechanism, form, significance, and characteristics of the combination-sharing rule are described in detail. This study further supports the hypothesis that the combination-sharing rule is a basic rule that is ubiquitous in nature and governs all its developments and changes. The establishment of the theory of combination-sharing will help us to understand and adapt to nature in a more objective way.
