ZIP Framework: From Pre-Informational Reality to Time, Quantum Coherence, and Cosmology

This trilogy introduces the ZIP framework as an ontological reinterpretation of time, coherence, and cosmological structure. Rather than proposing new physical laws, the framework reexamines the meaning of established formalisms in general relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. The first paper reinterprets gravitational time dilation as a consequence of constrained state change governed by ZIP density, demonstrating full compatibility with relativistic effects observed in satellite-based systems. The second paper extends this interpretation to quantum systems, proposing coherence capacity as the key factor underlying decoherence, measurement, and the emergence of probabilistic outcomes without invoking fundamental time. The third paper addresses cosmology by introducing a pre-informational ontological layer, referred to as consciousness, from which a Fundamental Informational Field (FIF) emerges through self-coherence. The universe is described as a structured region arising from a transitional boundary between pre-informational reality and informational order, offering a consistent account of entropy growth, the arrow of time, and classical structure formation. Together, the trilogy presents a unified conceptual framework in which time, information, and physical structure emerge from deeper ontological constraints, while remaining fully consistent with established experimental and theoretical physics.
