Cognitive Projection and Observer Entropy: A Minimal Model of Subjective Physics

We propose a formal model of cognitive projection under epistemic constraints. A perceptual threshold ε determines the observer’s resolution, leading to entropy generation via indistinguishability. We define a projection operator F_ε acting on a stochastic process in ℝ^M, simulate its effects, and examine the scaling behavior of cognitive entropy and distinguishability metrics. This provides a minimal computational framework for subjective physics grounded in information theory.

Abstract

We propose a formal model of cognitive projection under epistemic constraints. A perceptual threshold ε determines the observer’s resolution, leading to entropy generation via indistinguishability. We define a projection operator F_ε acting on a stochastic process in ℝ^M, simulate its effects, and examine the scaling behavior of cognitive entropy and distinguishability metrics. This provides a minimal computational framework for subjective physics grounded in information theory.
