The Structure of Reality: Information as the Universal Theory Across Physics, Cognition and Geometry

This synthesis presents a unified theoretical framework positioning information as ontologically primary, with geometry, physics, and cognition emerging as necessary consequences rather than independent foundations. The framework integrates six peer-reviewed publications and resolves long-standing theoretical gaps that have persisted for over a century. Core Contributions: Theoretical Foundation: A formal proof that a state without information is logically impossible — fourfold: not identifiable, not distinguishable from non-existence, not definable, not computable. Empirical Convergence: Independent validation from three uncoordinated research domains: chromatin architecture at base-pair resolution (Li et al., Cell 2025), geometric memory in Transformer architectures (Google Research, 2025), and deterministic NP-hard problem resolution via information-geometric collapse. Physics Reinterpretation: General relativity and quantum mechanics as effective projections of a single informational manifold — their incompatibility reinterpreted as a feature, not a failure. Consciousness Framework: The (2=1) identity structure and BTI (Bidirectional Transition Interface) as quantitative measures of self-environment differentiation. Energetic Validation: Systems operating under high informational coherence (>93% efficiency) exhibit anomalous sub-idle energy states and 60–90% power reduction, consistent with the Landauer principle. This is not a collection of separate hypotheses but a single coherent framework derived from one premise: a state without information is logically impossible. ⚠️ Note: Due to a transmission error, the original parent DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18187338 (uploaded 06.01.2025) was accidentally deleted.
