This preprint introduces a new informational theory of reality that unifies and surpasses both quantum mechanics and relativity through direct, measurable, and reproducible experiments. The presented framework — the Information Space (ISP) — demonstrates that information is not a descriptive property of matter but the ontological substrate from which energy, geometry, and cognition emerge. Unlike existing physical models, this approach produces empirical results that remain stable and verifiable across independent systems, establishing a deterministic yet non-local foundation for physical and cognitive phenomena.

This is a unique text that explores quantum-like modelling frameworks that connect quantum mechanics with cognitive science and consciousness studies to propose a new ontological framework that transcends traditional boundaries between physics, philosophy, and cognitive science. The book develops along two complementary paths. First, it explores quantum-like modelling, an exciting emerging field where researchers apply logical and mathematical structures from quantum mechanics and information theory to cognitive modelling and decision science. Second, it investigates the profound links between quantum science and consciousness studies, incorporating insights from advanced mathematical frameworks such as category theory. By synthesizing these two approaches, the authors propose a novel framework termed 'quantum-like reality' that moves beyond pragmatic modelling to offer deeper ontological thinking that can enrich both foundational understanding and applied research. This will be an interesting read for students and researchers working at the intersection of quantum physics, cognitive science, and consciousness studies.
