Abstract

Prime numbers, traditionally seen as indivisible arithmetic elements, are reinterpreted here as the symbolic eigenstates from which spacetime and consciousness emerge. In this perspective, observation is a collapse of entropy in a prime-based Hilbert space, generating time, curvature, and coherent perception. The hypothesis proposes that Riemann zeta zeros define attractor geometries, that gravity is an entropy gradient, and that consciousness is measurable as symbolic entropy minimization. This Communication invites the IPI community to examine the informational infrastructure of reality itself.
