The Informational Universe

Status: Phase 0 — Project Initialization
Last Active: 2026-07-21
Domain: QWAV Physics / Quantum Foundations
Protocol: research v2.4

Overview

A research program exploring the hypothesis that information is the fundamental substrate of physical reality. This project investigates whether spacetime, matter, and quantum behavior emerge from underlying information-theoretic principles, potentially reconciling quantum mechanics with general relativity through an information-first ontology.

Core Claim

The universe is fundamentally an informational structure. Physical law, particles, fields, and geometry are epiphenomena of deeper information-processing constraints — not primitive entities.
