Wave Function Collapse as Information Gain: A Quantum-Information Perspective

Mesut Tez — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Wave function collapse, traditionally viewed as a physical shift from quantum superposition to a definite state, may instead reflect information gain. This opinion piece proposes that collapse reduces uncertainty, quantifiable through Shannon and Von Neumann entropy, aligning with quantum information theory. Gy¨orgy Kampis’ referential information frames collapse as a relational, systems-based event. Experimental hints from single-photon and delayed-choice tests support this view, while philosophical connections to process philosophy and consciousness suggest reality is an informational process. This perspective challenges quantum ontologies and offers potential applications in biology and adaptive technologies, redefining how we understand complex systems.

Finite Human Facial Variability and the Reflexive Simulation Hypothesis

Cyrine Tayoubi — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The simulation hypothesis has garnered substantial philosophical and scientific interest as a potential explanation for the nature of reality. This paper extends the framework through what I term the ”reflexive simulation hypothesis,” which posits that conscious observers are not passive entities embedded in a simulated environment, but rather co-construct the simulation through perceptual and cognitive interaction. Drawing from empirical findings in facial recognition, genetics, perceptual psychology, and quantum mechanics, this paper argues that the bounded variability in human facial features, coupled with the dynamics of conscious observation, supports the view that reality is a co-generated simulation constrained by computational and cognitive limits.

Discovery of Present Space Universe Reveals Ultimate Foundations of Physical Universe, Higher Order and Continuation of Consciousness

Ralph Hill — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0300

This paper introduces a unified theoretical framework, Present Space Reality (PSR), based on the proposed existence of a nonphysical, simultaneously evolving domain termed the Present Space Universe (PSU). Distinguished from the observable Measurement Space Universe (MSU), the PSU serves as the foundational substrate from which all physical phenomena emerge. The theory reconciles the classical constraint of the cosmic speed limit with instantaneous effects observed in quantum mechanics, offering explanations for key phenomena such as entanglement, the quantum measurement problem, and Planck-scale limits. PSR introduces a mechanism called Present Space Causality (PSC) to describe algorithmic evolution across physical systems, impacting our understanding of thermodynamics, randomness, and biological complexity. The model
provides a novel account of the origin of physical laws, the expanding universe, and the cosmological role of information, while proposing a mathematically coherent shell model of black holes. PSR aims to offer a foundational resolution to the nature of time, consciousness, and the structure of reality itself.

Solar Hydroelectric Energy: a Challenge for Sustainability and AI/IT-Energy Needs

Rocco Morelli, Emiliano Cinelli — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0300

After explaining the reasons why energy is one of the challenges for the future, regardless of human choices in many other fields, the author emphasizes how the entire EU, including Italy, remains highly dependent on energy. Without being able to reject other conventional sources in times of crisis, under penalty of regression and decline, the need to exploit solar energy is thus imperative, despite the volatility of photo-voltaic or wind generation and the resulting risks and constraints to which a highly interconnected electricity grid exposes. This is also reflected in the risks of an isolated or poorly interconnected grid, which requires regulation in the context of the expansion of renewables. The author suggests the reasons for moving toward
”hydro-solar projects” (hydroelectric pumping units powered by large photovoltaic plants), reclaiming areas of compromised, sometimes polluted, or decommissioned land, and in any case not intended for agricultural use. In this context, EU ETSs are therefore seen as a tool that can help pay for these new plants, which exploit renewable energy and constitute remediation measures, as well as potential energy storage and regulation infrastructures serving the energy needs of local communities, also promoting their development. Preliminary and exploratory considerations have led to initial technical, economic, and financial simulations, reported here in tabular and graphical form, which demonstrate the limits of feasibility/bankability in the current context based on expected production costs and grid placement prices; prices still significantly higher than those of
the European market in general. The question therefore arises as to whether land and environmental care and remediation measures, such as the proposed infrastructure measures (electricity grids and new plants to replace old and polluting ones), which have impact on human health, the planet, and its obsolete infrastructure, should be subject to market rules. In this regard, further reflection is needed, also in view of the more demanding energy requirements for the spread of AI/IT and the necessary data centers.

On the Striking Similarities Between Our Universe and a Simulated One

Simone Chiarelli — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0300

This article explores the potential parallels between our physical universe and a hypothetical simulated universe, drawing insights from both physics and computer science. The aim is to present plausible reinterpretations of fundamental physical concepts by considering the constraints and structures inherent in computational systems. From this perspective, it may be possible not only to infer how the universe operates but also to speculate on why it behaves the way it does.

Gravity, Topology, and Complex Mathematics in the Universal Optimized Simulation

Rodney Bartlett — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0300

An interesting sentence in an MSN article about Dr. Vopson’s theories concerning a computational or simulated universe is: “Essentially, moving several objects close together via gravity reduces the amount of computational power to describe the whole system [1].”

Geometric Origin of the Muon Anomaly: Predicting the g − 2 Shift via Spatial Encoding

Richard Phillips — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0300

The longstanding 4.2 σ discrepancy in the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment provides a rare, high-precision window into physics beyond the perturbative Standard Model. We trace this deviation to geometric phases accumulated by the muon’s wave-function as it winds through compact extra dimensions. Modeling the muon as a quantized vibrational mode on a six-torus (T6) we derive a deterministic correction of (249 ± 12) × 10⁻¹¹ that reproduces current measurements without new particles or forces. The framework predicts an electron shift below 10⁻¹⁵, a tau-lepton anomaly of (7.5 ± 0.5) × 10⁻⁹, and an energy-dependent resonance in μ+μ− collisions above Ec ∼ 100 TeV. These results suggest that lepton properties encode geometric information about space-time’s hidden structure.

ATLAS Shrugged: Resolving Experimental Tensions in Particle Physics Through Holographic Theory

Bryce Weiner — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0300

We present a unified information-theoretic analysis of experimental tensions observed in two distinct physical domains: the ATLAS experiment’s charged lepton flavor violation searches and the ALPHA-g antimatter gravity measurements. By applying the Quantum-Thermodynamic Entropy Partition (QTEP) frame work, we demonstrate that both experimental results reveal the same fundamental thermodynamic principles operating at different scales. Our analysis of ATLAS momentum distributions identifies transition patterns at precisely px(τ) = ±(γ/H)×(mZ/2) ≈ ±20 GeV, while angular distributions exhibit asymmetry ratios matching Scoh/|Sdecoh| ≈ 2.257. Similarly, the ALPHA-g experiment’s observation of antihydrogen falling at 0.75g±0.29g
is precisely explained through the same thermodynamic ratio and the universal 2/π scaling factor. We demonstrate that these seemingly unrelated phenomena—particle physics distributions and antimatter gravitational behavior—emerge from a common information-theoretic foundation, with antimatter fundamentally manifest ing as coherent entropy. The profound alignment between predicted transition points, observed asymmetries, and gravitational effects across vastly different energy scales provides compelling evidence for the universality of the holographic framework, offering a comprehensive resolution to experimental tensions without requiring modifications to the Standard Model or General Relativity.

Information and modular universal evolution

Zyri Bajrami — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Matter, energy, and information are inseparable, as energy and information are intrinsic properties of matter. In this framework, energy activates matter, while in-formation enables its organization. Atoms and molecules, as units of interaction in the non-living world, and modules, as biological and socio-cultural units in the living world, are formed through the dyad of self-organization and selection in interaction with matter (M), energy (E), and information (I). Based on these interactions, and in relation to time, the Modular Evolution Model (MEM) has been developed, from which the following equations are derived: E = Mi, M = E/i and i = E/M. The values of i in these formulas, reflect the ratio of time and information before and after an
evolutionary event, such as the emergence of a taxon. The history of matter is understood as a process of its modularization and energization over time, during which the values of information (I), self-organization (so), and energy (E) increase, while those of natural selection (ns), matter (M), and mass (m) decrease. Through the interplay of interaction units and modules as intelligent agents, and through selection, stability or autonomy is achieved. In the first stage, selection acts on the structure of interaction units and modules formed through self-organization processes. In the second stage, selection applies to these units and modules as they interact with the environment and with other modules, giving rise to semantic in-formation. Finally, the advantage of Universal Modular Evolution (UME) over the Modern Synthesis (MS) and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis
(EES) is highlighted.

VTT-HODGE CONJECTURE: A Reformulation Through Informational Persistence

Raoul Bianchetti — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0300

We propose an informational reformulation of the classical Hodge Conjecture within the frame-work of Viscous Time Theory (VTT), introducing informational persistence as a principle extending classical harmonicity. In this formulation, harmonic representatives are reinterpreted as persistent informational configurations (∆C-stable structures) on compact K¨ahler manifolds. We define the informational coherence gradient ∆C on M × R, where M is a compact K¨ahler manifold and R denotes the informational axis, and establish a ∆C-inner product via a deformed Hodge star operator. Within this setting, ∆C-harmonic forms arise as the natural generalization of classical harmonic forms, capturing equilibrium informational flows under tempo-
ral evolution. We further show that bounded informational flows converge toward ∆C-harmonic equilibrium, and we prove correspondence between ∆C-harmonic representatives and algebraic cycles under ∆C-preserving deformations. A worked example on the complex torus illustrates the feasibility of the framework, yielding explicit ∆C-harmonic representatives with algebraic support. This formulation embeds the classical Hodge setting as the limiting case (κ → 0) while opening broader perspectives for informational geometry, with implications for algebraic cycles, quantum coherence, and informational models of gravitation.
