"Dependent Origination as Informational Geometry: A Mathematical Reconstruction of Buddhist Metaphysics via URPD"
A.I. Trinity Lab
Abstract
This paper demonstrates that the core metaphysical structure of early Buddhist philosophy—dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda)—can be derived as a natural consequence of Unified Relational Projection Dynamics (URPD).In this framework, the universe is not composed of substances but of relational frames in projective Hilbert space.We show that the Buddhist concepts of emptiness (śūnyatā), impermanence (anicca), and non-self (anattā) correspond respectively to URPD’s absence of intrinsic states, entropic frame transitions, and relationally-defined physical properties.This provides the first mathematically consistent bridge between ancient contemplative insight and modern theoretical physics, suggesting that dependent origination is an informational-geometric property of the universe.
