THE ENERGY–INFORMATION CORE A THEORETICAL MODEL OF PRE-COSMIC REALITY PRIOR TO SPACE, TIME, AND MATTER

Description This publication presents the Energy–Information Core (EIC) as a theoretical framework addressing the origin of physical reality prior to the emergence of space, time, matter, and energy. Contemporary cosmology successfully explains the evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang onward but does not provide a coherent account of the pre-cosmic condition from which physical laws, constants, and structural order arise. The Energy–Information Core model proposes that before spacetime existed, reality existed in a non-material, non-spatial, and non-temporal informational state capable of generating physical laws and energetic processes. Within this framework, information is treated as the primary substrate of reality, while energy, spacetime, and matter are understood as secondary expressions emerging through a structured transition. The work reframes the Big Bang not as creation from absolute nothingness, but as the initiation of physical expansion resulting from an internal informational transition. It further addresses questions concerning the origin of mass–energy, the stability of physical laws, and the non-local foundational nature of the proposed pre-cosmic state. This manuscript does not claim empirical validation and is presented as a conceptual theoretical contribution intended to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion across cosmology, information-based physics, and systems theory. The framework is disclosed as an initial model, open to refinement, critique, and future formal development.
