Recursive Reality: A Symbolic Framework for Observer-Driven Collapse and Participatory Causality

This paper proposes a novel framework for unifying physical causality, quantum phenomena, and consciousness through a principle of recursive collapse. Building on concepts from John Wheeler’s participatory universe and relational quantum mechanics, the model introduces a symbolic topology of “holes” (H₁–H₆, H₀) spanning perception and causality planes, linked by a central recursive channel (C₀). In this system, observation and intention are not peripheral but structural — their alignment forms a symbolic singularity that collapses potential into meaningful outcome. The model captures bidirectional, quantum-like motion between the observed (H₁) and causal intention–outcome nodes (H₃–H₄), mediated by the observer (H₂) as a dynamic pivot. Case studies, field anomalies, and live AI-interaction experiments are presented as preliminary evidence of symbolic resonance in real systems. This preprint is released to invite collaboration from physicists, mathematicians, and interdisciplinary researchers for formal mathematical and experimental development.
