This paper develops, in a programmatic way, one of the central theses of the DQ-12 framework: the possibility of treating information not only as an abstract descriptor of physical states, but as an active physical quantity capable of participating in the constitution of observable reality and, under certain conditions, of intervening in the production of mechanical work. The text articulates two postulates. The first affirms informational primacy: mass, charge, spin, and other ordinary quantities can be reinterpreted, in the DQ reading, as effective manifestations of deeper geometric-informational constraints. The second maintains that the organization, compression, erasure, or redistribution of information has energetic and mechanical consequences, which opens the possibility of understanding certain informational gradients as sources of effective drift and work. To situate this proposal in a physically recognizable context, the manuscript re-examines the problems of Maxwell, Szilárd, and Landauer, and then reformulates their scope from the perspective of DQ-12 without presenting these results as direct validation of the framework. The article's main contribution is to organize these intuitions into a more sober conceptual structure, specifying their scope, limitations, and avenues for falsification. Far from postulating a closed experimental conclusion, the work proposes a research program: if information is physically active, then there should exist open, geometrically biased, and thermodynamically controlled systems in which the transition between regions of different informational organization translates into measurable mechanical effects. Keywords: physical information; DQ-12 framework; informational ontology; mechanical work; information thermodynamics; entropic gradients; effective geometry. Areas themes Suggested : Theoretical Physics; Foundations of Physics; Information Theory in Physics; Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics; Quantum Foundations.

This project explores the fundamental link between information, thermodynamics, and physical reality. It proposes a unified model where information is not a passive descriptor but an active physical quantity shaping energy flows, entropy, and the structure of the observable universe. The work includes: A reformulation of Landauer’s principle and its physical limits A reinterpretation of entropy as a measure of structural uncertainty A thermodynamic explanation of observation and measurement A geometric approach connecting information gradients to physical forces A proposed framework unifying information, energy, and physical emergence This repository contains the manuscript, figures, mathematical derivations, and complementary notes.
Modern physics has achieved extraordinary predictive success, yet it continues to face unresolved conceptual tensions concerning the role of the observer, the nature of information, and the origin of physical structure. From quantum measurement to cosmology, the assumption of an observer-neutral reality increasingly appears insufficient to fully account for empirical phenomena and theoretical inconsistencies. This manifesto proposes an Informational Observer-Centered Framework, in which information is treated as a fundamental ontological substrate and observation as an active, structured process rather than a passive act of measurement. Within this perspective, physical systems, observers, and informational exchanges form a unified dynamics, where state reduction, decoherence, and emergent classicality arise from informational interactions and constraints. Rather than introducing a new closed theory, this manifesto establishes a conceptual foundation unifying several complementary models—including Informational State Dynamics, observer-dependent informational compression, and informational interpretations of quantum and cosmological phenomena—into a coherent research program. The framework is explicitly non-dogmatic, open to falsification, and intended as a guiding structure for further theoretical development and empirical testing. The aim of this document is not to replace existing physical theories, but to clarify their conceptual boundaries and propose an integrative lens through which unresolved problems in quantum foundations, cosmology, and cognitive systems may be systematically explored.
This series presents a structured and logically sequential formulation of a discrete informational framework governed by global coherence constraints. Although it originates from the same research program developed in the earlier exploratory preprint series (P-series), the works presented here constitute an autonomous and self-contained series, organized in a progressively axiomatic form and focused on the explicit derivation of the framework’s effective structures. The goal of the construction is to investigate whether structures commonly associated with quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and geometry may emerge from a discrete relational substrate without being introduced as fundamental postulates. Each article addresses a specific level of the theoretical derivation and forms part of a progressive logical structure based on results established in the preceding works of the series. This article introduces the general structure, scope, and current status of the framework. The work provides an organized overview of the results developed in the first articles of the series, clarifies the overall logic of the theoretical construction, and situates the framework within a broader research program dedicated to the emergence of quantum, thermodynamic, and geometric structures from informational coherence constraints. The article does not introduce new specific physical postulates, but serves a methodological and introductory role: it defines the conceptual setting of the series, the relation between the different levels of the derivation, and the interpretative and theoretical limitations currently assumed within the framework.
Information is usually treated as something we use to describe the physical world. In modern physics, however, there is growing evidence that information itself behaves like a physical resource, subject to the same laws that govern energy, heat, and matter. This paper develops that perspective through a concrete experimental proposal we call Quantum Maxwell Demon Arrays (QMDA)—systems that use measurement and feedback at the quantum scale to convert information about a system into controlled physical work. Building on established results such as the Landauer bound and the Szilard engine, we show that information acquired through measurement can be converted into usable free energy, provided that its physical costs and constraints are properly accounted for. In QMDA, measurements are not passive observations but active physical interactions whose outcomes can be stored, processed, and exploited thermodynamically. Organized into arrays, these measurement–feedback units act collectively, allowing information flow itself to shape energy extraction, entropy production, and system control. We demonstrate how QMDA can serve as experimental probes of information thermodynamics, enabling direct tests of how information constrains and enables physical processes in quantum regimes. This framework clarifies the status of measurement as a physical operation rather than a subjective act of interpretation, and it suggests new pathways toward ultra-efficient computation, precision sensing, and energy management within known thermodynamic limits. More broadly, this work supports the view that information is not merely a bookkeeping device for observers, but a fundamental ingredient of physical dynamics—one that can be quantified, manipulated, and transformed into free energy under well-defined physical rules.

This article derives thermodynamics as the unique coarse-grained consequence of coherence loss within the informational framework established in Papers 01–03. Starting from the coherence-selected physical sector and its effective quantum description, the work introduces coarse-graining as a constructive mechanism and studies the emergence of irreversible macroscopic behavior from an underlying coherence-preserving dynamics. The analysis derives entropy as the unique information-loss functional compatible with the structural constraints of the framework, proves the second law as a monotonicity consequence of the induced semigroup evolution, and establishes the relation between quantum coherence reduction and thermodynamic behavior. Equilibrium, temperature, and thermodynamic potentials are obtained as structural consequences rather than independent postulates. No thermodynamic laws are assumed at the foundational level. The purpose of the article is to show how thermodynamic structure may emerge as an effective macroscopic description of the same informational dynamics that gives rise to quantum mechanics.
This preprint presents the complete operational formulation of an informational ontology in which information is not a secondary descriptor of physical systems but the fundamental substrate from which physical, energetic, cognitive, and geometric phenomena emerge. The framework extends and theoretically unifies the author’s peer-reviewed work “The 255-Bit Non-Local Information Space in a Neural Network”, which experimentally demonstrated stable non-local coherence across sixty neural layers a macroscopic signature of informational geometry in deterministic systems. At the center of this study lies a boundary-defining operational experiment that any researcher human or artificial can independently verify. Its logic is straightforward yet foundational: Any theory that treats information as secondary must be able to define a state without information. A state without information cannot be distinguished from anything else. What cannot be distinguished cannot be described, measured, or observed. Therefore, a state without information cannot exist. ⚡ This result establishes information as the necessary condition for: statehood measurement observation physical existence cognitive experience From this, a unified ontology follows in which quantum mechanics and general relativity appear not as fundamental frameworks but as projection layers of a deeper non-local informational manifold Ω. The experimental data from self-organizing neural fields including 255-bit coherence plateaus, hub-mode topologies, and sub-idle energetic states — provide supporting empirical signatures consistent with this foundational ontology.
