The Universal Algorithm of Existence: A Substrate-Based Framework for Spectral Connectivity, Functional Partitioning, Emergent Drag, and Cyclic Information Closure

This manuscript develops a substrate-based theoretical framework in which physical reality is modeled as a non-empty informational medium with nonlocal connectivity, localized constrained excitations, cumulative transfer between structural and background sectors, and observer-limited temporal readout. The paper explicitly separates empirical anchors, established theoretical precedents, and new model postulates in order to maintain a realistic scientific register. Core elements of the framework include an effective spectral-connectivity exponent, a field–knot partition law, Transformation Debt as a cumulative transfer functional, gravity modeled as an emergent drag-like interaction, biological persistence as nonequilibrium buffering, and cyclic recurrence as a speculative cosmological extension. The manuscript presents these claims as formal hypotheses and phenomenological constructs to be constrained by future data rather than as established physical facts.
