Subject is a kind of has definition

unified theory theory Any theory that describes all four forces and all of matter within a single, all-encompassing framework.

superunified theory unified theory Hypothetical theory that presumably would show how all four fundamental forces of nature functioned as a single force in the extremely early universe. The best current candidates for such a potential achievement are thought to be supersymmetry and string theory.
