The Universal Gravito-Informational Theory (TGIU): Universe Simulations, Entropic Cost of Collapse, and a Falsifiable Test of the 2D Informational Substrate

This paper presents the first comprehensive articulation of the Teoria Gravito-Informațională Universală (TGIU), a framework proposing that our universe is not particle-based but emerges from the collapse of a 2D informational substrate into 3D spacetime. Using full-scale simulations from 10% to 100% collapse, we demonstrate that cosmic structures such as filaments, galaxies, dark matter, and dark energy arise naturally, not from exotic particles, but from informational collapse residues. A key invariant across all simulations is the constant η = 0.783, not as a measure of collapse efficiency, but as the universal entropic cost of manifestation. Thus, reality itself—time, motion, matter—is not the ordered product of collapse, but its entropic receipt. The simulations reproduce observational benchmarks of ΛCDM cosmology (CMB anisotropies, MOND a₀ constant, dark energy effects) without requiring unobserved particles. Within TGIU, dark energy emerges as the finite manifestation of the infinite potential (Λ) from 2D, appearing in 3D as spacetime points generated at the speed of light. Dark matter corresponds to partial collapses (Θ_C ≈ 92°–95°), while ghost dark matter represents memory zones of failed collapse (analogous to post-black hole evaporation). This approach resolves the cosmological constant problem naturally: the observed 10¹²⁰ discrepancy reflects the difference between infinite 2D potential and finite 3D manifestation. Beyond simulations, TGIU introduces the concept of pre-Chrona recoherence: acting before the Chrona threshold can recover part of the “lost” potential, raising effective manifestation temporarily beyond η, offering a falsifiable prediction testable with interferometers, PNCP modulations, and ANITA-style radio experiments. Ontologically, the relationship between 2D and 3D is not linear (collapse from one to the other) but nested, like a circle enclosing its infinite circumference within finite space. We describe this with the metaphor of the Fish Bowl Tank Universe: 3D spacetime is the inner, finite bowl; 2D informational infinity is its unbounded boundary. TEF (TGIU Equilibrium Force) stabilizes this relationship, preventing both absolute collapse and infinite dispersion. In conclusion, TGIU reframes existence: we are not the efficient outcome of creation but its entropic cost—a finite fish bowl floating in an infinite informational ocean. This perspective unifies paradoxes of quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology, while offering testable experimental pathways toward validation.
