An updated version of the code supplement is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23269851 (record 10.5281/zenodo.17672528, updated version 2026-10). It corrects the selection of the raw GWOSC strain files, now bound to the GPS window of the requested event, and adds the HRV epoch and CMB smoothing observer constructions; all permutation null tests are generated by the released launcher with one statistic, B = 5000 and seed 12345. The observed Jensen–Shannon distances reported in the article are unchanged; the null distributions of the updated version supersede those of this supplement. See CHANGES.md in the updated package.
We introduce Interference-First Reality (IFR), a theoretical framework in which physical objectivity is not assumed as a primitive property of the world, but is derived as a stable multi-observer limit of an underlying interference structure. The fundamental object of the theory is a pre-spatiotemporal interference state Ψ defined on an abstract configuration space X, together with a family of operational observer maps projecting Ψ into observer-accessible representation spaces. Agreement between observers is quantified by an information-geometric redundant dispersion functional. Within IFR, objective structures are defined as stable Fréchet-type centers of observer projections, and physical configurations are selected by a variational principle involving interference dynamics, informational curvature, and redundant multi-observer contraction. The parameter λ is not identified with physical time. Instead, temporal order is defined as the ordered succession of stable minima of redundant dispersion, while effective spacetime geometry arises when the underlying information geometry admits a low-dimensional metric representation. The framework derives objectivity, time, space, and gravitation from a single variational structure. Contents of this deposit. Alongside the complete-formulation preprint, the archive contains the consolidated information-geometry module ifr_core, implementing Jensen–Shannon divergence and distance, geometric and arithmetic barycenters, and the redundant-dispersion functional, together with its verification routines, the full set of analysis scripts, and self-configuring ready-to-run launcher packages for Windows, macOS, and a flat code archive. The ifr_core module is byte-identical across all packages and hash-verified, and reproduces all reported JSD/KL values with a maximum numerical discrepancy below 1e-13. The packages are strictly code-only. Data directories contain only .gitkeep or README.md placeholders, and the public re-downloadable datasets used in the analyses, including Planck, GWOSC, JWST/JADES, and PhysioNet, are intentionally excluded from the deposit.

We present the Interference-First Reality (IFR) framework, in which physical objectivity is not assumed as primitive but is operationally characterized through the stabilization of observer-induced probability distributions under redundant observation. Within this framework, emergent shared reality is identified with the Fréchet barycenter of an ensemble of observer-induced probability distributions in Jensen-Shannon geometry. A consistency theorem shows that empirical barycenters converge almost surely to their population counterpart as the number of independent observers grows, grounding objectivity in standard metric barycenter theory rather than in additional physical postulates. Alongside this variational construction, we introduce a complementary weighted geometric-overlap estimator and analyze its relation to the barycentric formulation. We instantiate the framework across five physical domains: cosmic microwave background (CMB), heart-rate variability (HRV), JWST spectroscopy, large-scale structure (LSS), and gravitational-wave open data (GWOSC). Across all domains, we find reproducible multi-observer collective summaries, bounded Jensen-Shannon distances consistent with stabilization, and a cross-domain distinguishability hierarchy stable under bootstrap resampling and insensitive to the choice between arithmetic and geometric aggregation. Permutation-based null tests further show that the observed clustering structure exceeds domain-specific random baselines. The empirical scope is nevertheless domain-specific: the GW cross-event comparison mainly reflects observational context and noise geometry, while the JWST case probes structured instrumental heterogeneity within a common observing program rather than independent platforms. Finally, we outline an extension in which time is defined as cumulative informational arc-length between successive stabilized collective states, leaving its full development to a companion study.
