Addressing the fundamental metaphysical question of the origin of Being, this paper takes de Broglie’s classical wave mechanics (1924) as its scientific foundation and constructs a self‑consistent interpretive framework of information ontology. It establishes three core axioms: information as the primordial ground, relations prior to entities, and global conservation of information. On this basis, the paper further derives the origin of spatiotemporal dimensions from the laws of information interaction: each basic flip configuration of information corresponds to the generation of a spatial dimension; after three‑dimensional topological closure is completed, the inevitably produced “pending redundant information” that cannot be synchronously and self‑consistently integrated gives rise to the dimension of time within its queuing sequence. Spacetime is therefore not an a priori container but the first compensatory stratum of structure through which information moves toward self‑consistent expression. Subsequently, by means of de Broglie’s phase field, the paper deduces the entire evolutionary chain from pure information distinctions and primordial phase oscillation to the emergence of material hierarchies and quantum‑observation interactions. It argues that quantum measurement and wave‑function collapse are essentially topological remappings and information‑coupling consolidations of heterogeneous phase fields; gravitation and cosmic expansion can be reduced to macroscopic effects of phase gradients. Throughout the text, physical references are strictly limited to de Broglie’s classical wave mechanics, without introducing non‑standard physical models. This study supplements fundamental physical philosophy with a relational‑ontology approach and provides a unified information‑theoretic metaphysical interpretation for foundational problems such as wave–particle duality, the origin of spacetime, and the nature of gravity.

The core dilemma of modern physics stems from two unproven ontological presuppositions: that spacetime is an innate container preceding matter, and that matter is an entity composed of indivisible particles. These presuppositions have led to the fundamental split between general relativity and quantum mechanics, giving rise to a series of century-old unsolved problems such as wave-particle duality, the quantum measurement paradox, the nature of gravity, and dark matter and dark energy. Based on the sole unfalsifiable first principle that "the essence of cognition is succession", this paper deduces a complete ontological system through pure a priori reasoning: the authentic physical world consists solely of one-dimensional successive rays and their transverse coupling relations; time is the successive extension of rays, space is the network of coupling relations, matter is the steady state of closed coupling, and all interactions are different manifestations of coupling actions. Particles are not authentically existing entities, but rather point-like endpoint phenomena presented in the observer's phenomenal world when two rays undergo an all-or-nothing coupling. Based on this framework, this paper uniformly explains all core phenomena in both the microscopic quantum domain and the macroscopic relativistic domain in one go, resolves all traditional physical paradoxes at the ontological level, achieves the ontological unification of the four fundamental forces, and proposes three falsifiable core predictions. This paper demonstrates that all theories of traditional physics are approximate descriptions of the authentic physical world at the phenomenal level, and their fundamental error lies in mistaking "coupling endpoints" for "primitive entities", thereby reversing the causal relationship. Cognitive Succession Ontology provides a logically consistent and universally unified ultimate foundation for physics.
We present four postulates that together constitute a self-consistent ontological framework for physics, which we call The Ultimate Relativity. The framework proposes: (I) that all physical entities - mass, energy, charge - are restructurings of space itself (the Space Postulate); (II) that every particle is created together with a superluminal shadow/wave counterpart carrying opposite energy, momentum, and angular momentum, separated from the observable particle by the perceptual boundary at speed c (the Pair Postulate); (III) that a particle's existence is discrete - it appears and disappears with a characteristic "motional frequency" that is the physical origin of time (the Time Postulate); and (IV) that any detection event involves the simultaneous meeting of the particle and its shadow at the detector (the Measurement Postulate). We show that these four postulates are not in conflict with established physics but rather provide a deeper ontological foundation for it: the Space Postulate corresponds to Wheeler's spacetime foam and emergent-spacetime programmes; the Pair Postulate identifies the shadow with the de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave and naturally produces Zitterbewegung; the Time Postulate recovers the de Broglie internal clock relation nu_0=m_0c^2/h, confirmed experimentally; and the Measurement Postulate provides a concrete physical mechanism for the Born rule without invoking wavefunction collapse. We further show that the Pair Postulate implies a velocity-dependent rest charge for the electron - the central postulate of Dan's reformulation of electromagnetism - as a direct consequence. The framework therefore unifies the relativistic charge reformulation, the cosmic expansion mechanism, and the neutron magnetic moment derivation under a single coherent set of first principles.
License: CC BY-NC-ND 1. Introduction and epistemological framework Despite extraordinary empirical successes, modern natural science faces a fundamental explanatory gap. The General Theory of Relativity (GTR) describes the macroscopic structure of space, time and gravitation with unrivalled precision, whilst quantum mechanics (QM) governs the probabilistic laws of the microscopic world. However, both theoretical foundations are based on incompatible mathematical and ontological assumptions: GR assumes a continuous, deterministic space-time continuum; QM operates on discrete, non-local state spaces and is inextricably linked to the unsolved measurement problem. Holistic Information Theory (HIT) proposes a formal extension of the physical frame of reference. It begins one step prior to spatio-temporal localisation and poses the fundamental question regarding the a priori condition under which physical quantities can arise, be distinguished and measured in the first place. Every scientific description necessarily begins with a distinction; every distinction encodes a difference, and every difference is, at its core, pure information. From this methodological premise, GIT deduces that information is not a secondary product of biological evolution or technical data processing, nor is it merely a property of matter. Information is the primary ontological quantity of existence. Space, time, gravity, light, energy and matter are established as secondary forms of organisation and manifestation of an all-encompassing, evolutionary information process. In this system, cognition and physical manifestation are not passive processes, but active acts of information creation, initiated by a directed ‘question’ – understood as a physical interaction or systemic coupling.
The mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics has achieved tremendous success, yet its ontological foundations — including the essence of the wave function, the mechanism behind the measurement problem, and the origin of nonlocal correlations — have long remained unresolved. This paper proposes the fundamental field theory, which takes the complex field \Psi as the basic degree of freedom satisfying the standard bosonic commutation relation [\hat{\Psi}, \hat{\Psi}^\dagger] = \delta. Starting from this commutation relation, we derive the uncertainty principle and establish the action of the fundamental field. The Schrödinger equation is obtained under the non-relativistic limit. We explain the measurement problem and present the dynamical equation for wave function collapse via the trigger perturbation mechanism. Meanwhile, quantum entanglement is interpreted based on the nonlocal nature of the fundamental field. This paper also conducts a comparative analysis between the proposed model, the GRW model and the Penrose model, and puts forward four experimentally testable theoretical predictions. This manuscript serves as a companion to the classical branch focusing on S³ topological dynamics. The two papers jointly form a full theoretical description of physical systems. The S³ topological domain manuscript focuses on classical and semiclassical topics such as cosmology, gravitational waves and power laws of the four fundamental interactions, while this work centers on quantum mechanics fundamentals, measurement collapse and quantum entanglement. The two manuscripts are interconnected through the \Psi-\lambda mapping. The fundamental field theory does not negate quantum mechanics; instead, it complements quantum mechanics with a complete ontological foundation.
As the third paper in the *Monistic Ontology* series, this work strictly adheres to the ontological axiom system established in the first paper of the series, *Monistic Ontology* (hereinafter referred to as the "General Outline"), without introducing any new ad hoc assumptions. Taking the intrinsic fundamental frequency of the global unified field fj = 2.2687318315 × 1023 Hz, endogenously calibrated in the second paper of the series, as the sole quantitative anchor, this paper presents a unified, self-consistent realist ontological interpretation of the core phenomena of quantum mechanics based on the "local resonant standing wave" particle ontology model, aiming to resolve the long-standing interpretation dilemma of quantum mechanics. This paper clarifies that the apparent "counter-intuitive" characteristics of quantum phenomena are the natural manifestation ofthe inherent properties of the fundamental frequency vibration of the global unified field at the microscale. There is no "quantum superposition state" independent of the unified field ontology, nor is it necessary to introduce the non-local "action at a distance" hypothesis. With no additional axioms, no ad hoc assumptions, and no free fitting parameters, this paper endogenously derives the quantitative formula for the coherence length of quantum entanglement, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data of the thousand-kilometer scale satellite-ground entanglement from China’s Micius Satellite. This work attempts to realize the underlying ontological unification of quantum mechanics and relativity, provides a quantum theoretical basis for the subsequent unified interpretation of the four fundamental interactions, and completes the logical connection from the quantitative anchor to the quantum ontology of the series research.
Contemporary quantum mechanics’ Measurement Problem has long been trapped in the phenomenological quagmire of the "Observer Paradox." Traditional interpretations logically fail to explain how, in the early extreme universe devoid of macroscopic instruments or conscious observers, elementary particles spontaneously collapsed from probability superposition states into entities possessing rest mass. Grounded in the absolute vacuum repulsion framework of the Grand Unified Theory of Cosmic Mind (GUTCM), this research proposes an ontological-level "Spontaneous Decoherence" dynamical mechanism that completely discards the external observer. It strictly argues that the origin of physical entities does not stem from probability collapse, but rather from the "Truncated Logical Deadlock" encountered by the quantum information structure during underlying geometric compilation. This paper demonstrates at the geometric topological level that the underlying absolute vacuum of the universe is not a single void, but an ontology possessing two limit thermodynamic phases: the unsaturated "absolute nothingness" (0-domain, white paper state) and the fully saturated "extreme full energy state" (∞-domain, black paper state). In the underlying genesis compilation lacking a time parameter (dt≡0), the writing of the 1D geometric repulsive trajectory of the wave function and the infinite-speed flipping of the background absolute vacuum polarity inevitably undergo a topological "Asynchronous Intersection." When a wave function trajectory penetrating the underlying canvas encounters the instantaneous assimilation of background polarity mid-writing (e.g., the background instantly turning from black to white), the geometric contrast of its latter half is forcibly erased. This "midway flip" geometric accident causes the linear information code originally pointing toward an infinite future (e.g., 0111⋯→∞) to be forcibly truncated and zeroed (phase-shifting to 0111…0000). This massive information flow—having lost its evolutionary path and with nowhere to retreat—is forced to curl inward under extreme topological tension. It mutates from linear divergence into a Russell's paradox-style self-referential loop, triggering A≡¬A. This forced transfer of energy and logical closed loop directly forms an unravelable "Topological Standing Wave Knot" in topology. This non-trivial knot structure props open an absolute "Information Repulsion Domain (Microscopic Event Horizon)" in physical space, successfully resisting the thermodynamic dissipation and information erasure pressure of the global absolute vacuum. This model strictly proves that as long as the infinite-speed flipping of the dual-phase vacuum continues, such "truncated deadlocks" will inevitably occur endlessly. This is the ultimate dynamical root of why the number of elementary particles in the macroscopic universe continuously increases exponentially with epoch evolution. Simultaneously, these deadlock structures that survived the cruel screening of "Algorithmic Darwinism" during the Planck epoch—their topological invariants and anti-crash mechanisms maintaining recursion—ultimately solidified into the physical laws and conservation laws of the Standard Model we see today. This study thoroughly proves: Existence is an eternal deadlock in cosmic geometric compilation; without needing any observer, physical objective reality can complete absolute self-proof through underlying topological truncation.
