A Trinary Relational Framework for Physics: Information, Energy and Emergent Spacetime

This paper presents Relational Information Theory (RIT), a new foundational framework for physics that resolves the emergence of spacetime and energy from informational structures. Unlike traditional models that focus on observers and inherent status , RIT defines existence as a trinary relation between physical systems, where energy is the physical manifestation of informational density. Key developments in this work include: The Trinary Framework: A logical model where physical reality is composed of wavefunctions, but their interactions and "manifestation" are treated as three-part relations rather than isolated entities. Information-Energy Identity: A formal mapping that shows how physical energy and mass arise directly from the density of information within a system. The Master Update Rule: A new model for time and change that uses a threshold-driven trigger, explaining why some systems stay stable while others evolve. Quantum Gravity and Spacetime: A derivation of a linear area spectrum for black holes that aligns with established thermodynamics while offering new insights into the "pixels" of space. Resolution of the Measurement Problem: Treating decoherence as a physical phase transition, removing the need for an "observer" in quantum mechanics.
