Quantum Geometrization H: The Epistemological Foundation of the Information First Principle
changzheng zhou, ZIQING zhou
This paper aims to provide a systematic meta-theoretical framework for the”Quantum Geometrization” research program. From an epistemological perspective, it clarifies that establishing ”information” as the first principle of physics isnot an arbitrary metaphysical presupposition, but is based on two operationallymeaningful meta-rules: conservation of information distinguishability and finitestep computability of physical processes. This paper argues that these two metarules constitute the boundary conditions that any cognizable and testable physicaltheory must satisfy, and together they define the ”operational window of physicalcognition”. Within this framework, spacetime geometry is interpreted as an emergent phenomenon of information structure in the coarse-graining limit, quantumuncertainty is reinterpreted as an inevitable trade-off between levels of information description, and a series of cosmological parameters are traced back to rigidconstraints of information algebra. This paper further synthesizes the core achievements of the Quantum Geometrization series into a unified ”information dynamics”prediction network, and discusses the framework’s scope of applicability, challenges,and future directions. This study provides an epistemological foundation for thecore proposition ”spacetime emerges from information” and places the QuantumGeometrization program within a falsifiable scientific paradigm.
