Today I’m sharing the core idea behind my newest theoretical paper — a principle so simple that anyone can test it, yet so fundamental that it restructures how we think about physics, cognition, and reality.
At the heart of the work lies a single operational boundary condition:
**Foundational Operational Test: The Logical Primacy of Information**
Axiom 1 — State Distinguishability
A state S can only be recognized as a state if it is distinguishable from at least one alternative state S′.
Axiom 2 — Information as Distinguishability
Information is the set of measurable distinctions between possible states (Shannon, 1948).
From these two axioms follows the key identity: ๐ Information = State Distinguishability
And from this, a simple but decisive question arises:
Can a state without information be defined, distinguished, or measured?
The operational test yields only two outcomes:
If it can be distinguished → it contains information.
If it cannot be distinguished → it cannot be defined, described, or measured.
➡️ Therefore, a state without information is logically and operationally impossible.
This result makes information not a property of physical systems —
but their precondition: the substrate from which physics, cognition, and experience emerge.
๐ My new preprint, built entirely on this foundation, is now available:
“Information is All It Needs: A First-Principles Foundation for Physics, Cognition, and Reality”
➡️ Information is All It Needs: A First-Principles Foundation for Physics, Cognition, and Reality
It will soon enter the peer-review process. More updates coming shortly.
