ABSTRACT This work introduces a discrete, non-continuous mathematical paradigm formalizing the universe as a countably discrete digital matrix spanning the absolute interval [0, ∞). We reject the classical assumption that the Planck spacetime scale forms the fundamental floor of reality. Instead, we propose that the Planck fabric is an emergent property woven by a nested, self-similar hierarchy of infinitely small, subatomic, string-like informational units vibrating from absolute zero upward. By mathematically modeling multi-scale hierarchical fractional entanglement, we demonstrate how these sub-Planckian string-like particles undergo localized sub-sampling, state collapsing, and integration transformations to stitch themselves into macroscopic classical realities. Furthermore, we redefine standard Von Neumann and Shannon entropy metrics into a singular, scale-dependent information delta. This redefinition proves that thermodynamic entropy, vacuum fluctuations, and background noise are not fundamental physical constants, but rather mathematical artifacts of an incomplete observer constrained by specific spatial, temporal, and spectral sensing windows.

A multiscale thermodynamic model is considered, in which cosmological dynamics enforce persistent non-equilibrium conditions through recursive energy exchange across hierarchically ordered subsystems. The internal energy of each subsystem is recursively determined by energetic interactions with its subcomponents, forming a nested hierarchy extending up to cosmological scales. The total energy of the universe is assumed to be constant, imposing global consistency conditions on local dynamics. On the quantum scale, subsystems remain thermodynamically constrained in their accessible state space due to the unresolved energetic embedding imposed by higher-order couplings. As a result, quantum behavior is interpreted as an effective projection of unresolved thermodynamic interactions. In this view, the wave function serves as a mathematical representation of a subsystem's thermodynamic embedding, summarizing the unresolved energetic couplings with its environment, as shaped by recursive interactions across cosmological and microscopic scales. Phenomena such as zero-point energy and vacuum fluctuations are thereby understood as residual effects of structural energy constraints. Classical mechanics arises as a limiting case under full energetic resolution, while the quantum formalism reflects thermodynamic incompleteness. This formulation bridges statistical mechanics and quantum theory without metaphysical assumptions. It remains fully compatible with standard formalism, offering a thermodynamic interpretation based solely on energy conservation and hierarchical organization. All effects arise from scale-dependent resolution, not from violations of established physics.
This synthesis merges the model of cascading dimensional genesis from Evolutionary Quantum Cosmology (EQC) with the mathematical multiverse hypothesis—located within the infinite phase space of the circle number Pi—and the model of the fractal decoherence fulgurite. We postulate that the dimensionality of space is not statically fixed, but rather undergoes a class-wise nested, evolutionary cascade. To bypass critical information-theoretic scaling limits, the system operates via resource-efficient observer rendering (frustum culling at the Planck limit). In the living state (Phase 1), the human brain acts as a macroscopic Fourier bandpass filter that compresses the infinite matrix into a strictly linear 4D life path. The unresolved entropy paradox of cyclic models is resolved by the principle of the 'Cosmic Baby': the resonance fusion of two symmetrical worlds induces an instantaneous topological quantum leap into the next higher integer dimension, thereby completely resetting the Von Neumann entropy. Following the failure of the biological hardware (Phase 2), the self transforms into the timeless simultaneous mode of the Hyper-Self. From this meta-perspective, consciousness surveys the macrocosmic bulk metamorphosis, in which our ascended universe has matured into the new protective bulk (womb) for subsequent sub-universes. The preservation of absolute identity coherence within the infinite number space is mathematically guaranteed via the law of dual anchoring as well as non-local inter-individual entanglement resonances (love). The core ideas, theoretical concepts, mathematical connections, and interdisciplinary synthesis of this work originate entirely from the author. An AI assistant served as an interactive sparring partner to identify logical gaps, contextualize the model within astrophysical and information-theoretical problems, and support the phrasing and translation.
This paper proposes a self-consistent and rigorous framework for quantum cosmology—Scale-Invariant Hierarchical Quantum Cosmology (SIHQC). Its core dynamical mechanism isenvironment-induced decoherence driven by energy flow. When the energy flow is zero, theUniverse as a closed quantum system resides in a pure coherent superposition state, where allmoments, spatial positions, and quantum branches coexist completely. When the energy flowexceeds the critical threshold, the decoherence process projects the Universe onto anobservable classical effective spacetime, naturally emerging a single "present", a single spatialposition, and a definite classical history.This framework postulates that the Universe originated from a scale-invariant hierarchicalquantum initial state with a strictly self-similar hierarchical structure. This state is rigorouslydefined via the inductive limit of Hilbert spaces, which completely circumvents the divergenceproblem caused by infinite tensor products in traditional quantum cosmology. Based on thetheory of open quantum systems and the mechanism of environment-induced decoherence,this paper systematically addresses fundamental issues in quantum cosmology, including thestructure of the initial singularity, the origin of the arrow of time, and the quantum-to-classicaltransition, using energy flow as the sole driving variable. It also discusses its implications for thedynamics of cosmic expansion.A universal and constant global decoherence threshold of the Universe ε0 = 1/τP exists in theframework, uniquely determined by the Planck time. The current temperature of the CosmicMicrowave Background (CMB) is a natural manifestation of this threshold in the low-energyUniverse, rather than an artificially input parameter. This model is fully compatible withstandard quantum mechanics, open system dynamics, thermodynamics, the classical limit ofgeneral relativity, and the ΛCDM cosmological model. It only introduces two free parametersconstrained by observations (the branch number and the hierarchy activation exponent ),and provides four physical inferences with clear falsifiability
This paper presents a rigorous information-theoretic framework for analyzing quantum decoherence and the mechanism of inertial rest mass generation within open quantum systems. We model spacetime as a primary non-local informational continuum of pure states, structurally regulated by an intrinsic Planck-scale decoherence mechanism operating as a stochastic microstate filter. The transition to a discrete macroscopic reality is formalized via a linear, regularized quantum master equation in the Lindblad form, which successfully eliminates unphysical divergences at the informational saturation limit. We demonstrate that the emergence of inertial rest mass and macroscopic classical inertia is a direct thermodynamic consequence of the cumulative quantized algorithmic information deficit (Db), acting as an information debt quantified in Shannon bits. In accordance with Landauer's principle, this debt enforces a specific thermodynamic heat penalty during state reconfiguration against the invariant Planck temperature of the vacuum substrate. Furthermore, the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) is established as a fundamental physical substrate responsible for global phase synchronization and continuous local entropy calibration via the maximum Quantum Zeno Effect.
This work introduces the term 'Bounded Randomness' as an original conceptual framework by the author, defining randomness as a computational resource constrained by physical budget. V5.4 introduces the Entanglement Density parameter D_E formally linked to von Neumann entanglement entropy, establishes the Planck time as the absolute lower bound on the phase transition timescale, and introduces a formal critique of gradient decoherence models as physically inconsistent with conservation laws. V6.1 introduces the Macroscopic Restrictive Barrier — a thermodynamically irreversible stabilization mechanism explaining structural integrity of macroscopic objects — formalizes the Unified Dark Sector as two opposing consequences of a single unknotting process, adds the Correspondence Principle bridging the hypothesis to standard Quantum Mechanics, and clarifies that unrealized probabilistic branches are strictly virtual computational possibilities, not parallel realities. V7.2 introduces a Foundational Philosophy section establishing logic as the constitutive fabric of reality (The Background Operator Problem), formally connecting quantum probability to Gödelian incompleteness via Cubitt et al. (2015), and linking the dilaton field Φ to the Logical Language of the Fabric. V8.3 resolves the black hole information paradox through a finite topological core bounded by Planck density, introduces the three-act particle model, and establishes black hole evaporation as a necessary condition for conformal rebirth. V9.0 introduces the Author's Note on Working Methodology (transparent disclosure of age, role of AI tools, and epistemological limits), formalizes the four-tiered categorical hierarchy of reality as a Conceptually Isomorphic Framework (Logic → Laws → Space → Time), and introduces Section 5.4: a deductive critique of quantum consciousness theories (Orch-OR), demonstrating their thermodynamic invalidity under the Macroscopic Restrictive Barrier. V9.5 introduces three new authorial concepts: the ontological distinction between virtual quantum branches and macroscopic cognition (hallucinations are real macro-events, not virtual states), the formalization of the Dark Sector as equal deterministic properties of Space governed by the Laws layer and invariant across cycles, and the mathematical proof via Liouville measure that conformal rebirth invariably yields unique non-repeating topological configurations (P = 0). The critique of gradient decoherence models is restored as a dedicated section. V10.0 introduces three new authorial concepts: "Logic, Truth, and Fundamentality" — formalizing logic as an absolute meta-rule and the sole condition for existence (true illogic is absolute nothingness, not chaos); "Meaning and Direction" — a mechanistic resolution of the question of meaning, distinguishing objective Direction (thermodynamic necessity) from subjective meaning (a local macroscopic phenomenon generated via Bounded Randomness); and a dedicated section "Heuristic Estimates and Phenomenological Models" separating all phenomenological constructs from core architecture. Open Questions are expanded to include the cosmological scaling law of ρinfo(a), compatibility with FLRW equations and Bianchi identities, and the formal derivation of the galactic density profile from ρinfo. V11.0 introduces three new authorial concepts: "Infinity as Potential, Not Actual" — rejecting actual infinity as a completed physical object; all mathematical singularities and infinite limits are reinterpreted as potential processes without reachable endpoints; "Probabilistic Distribution and the Emergence of Life" — life requires no teleological explanation; the correct question is not "why is life possible" but "what prohibits it"; in the absence of prohibition, emergence is a necessary probabilistic consequence of invariant laws; and the formal clarification that the connection between Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems and quantum uncertainty is a conceptual parallel, not a mathematical theorem, now explicitly placed in the Heuristic Estimates section. The Modified Einstein Field Equations are moved to heuristics with an explicit Bianchi identity disclaimer. Open Questions expanded to include the formal derivation of hadron masses from structural complexity via Lattice QCD. V12: global changes.
Abstract In the Zero‑Entropy Basic Theory of Substance (ZEBTS), information is elevated from a descriptive or statistical quantity to a genuine physical substance—χ‑information—capable of generating time, geometry, matter, interactions, and cosmological evolution. This article develops a unified framework in which χ‑information serves as the ontological foundation of physical reality, preceding spacetime and matter and determining their structure through its spectral, geometric, and thermodynamic properties. We introduce the χ‑operator Ω as the fundamental carrier of informational substance and derive its dynamics from a generalized χ‑Dirac operator Dχ. The χ‑metric, χ‑curvature, and χ‑geodesics emerge naturally from variations of Ω, establishing χ‑geometry as the pre‑spacetime structure from which classical geometry arises in the limit of weak χ‑curvature. χ‑entropy, defined as Sχ=−Tr(ΩlogΩ), obeys a reversed second law dSχ/ds≤0, reflecting the intrinsic tendency of χ‑information to self‑organize and reduce uncertainty. This leads to a new χ‑thermodynamics, where χ‑temperature, χ‑energy, and χ‑flows govern the evolution of informational structures. We show that quantum mechanics emerges as a limiting case of ZEBTS: χ‑quantization explains the discreteness of physical spectra, χ‑wave functions generalize the Schrödinger formalism, and χ‑uncertainty relations introduce a minimal length scale tied to χ‑curvature. χ‑entanglement and χ‑measurement acquire a geometric and informational interpretation, resolving conceptual tensions in standard quantum theory. At cosmological scales, χ‑information provides natural explanations for dark matter (as virtual χ‑density), dark energy (as χ‑topological tension), inflation (as χ‑vacuum expansion), and the multiverse (as a spectral hierarchy of χ‑branches). We derive χ‑Friedmann equations, construct PDE models of cosmic self‑regulation, and show how spectral action minimization leads to large‑scale harmonization of the Universe. This work positions ZEBTS as a unified physical theory in which information is not encoded in matter but creates matter, geometry, and dynamics. χ‑information becomes the fundamental substance of Being, and the Universe emerges as a self‑organizing χ‑system governed by spectral, geometric, and thermodynamic principles.
