Zeroth Principle — The Source Code of Ramanujan

This paper proposes the Zeroth Principle, defined as the meta-origin of all logical, mathematical, cosmic and civilizational existence—the underlying source code behind Ramanujan’s divine intuition. By comparing the Zeroth Principle with the First Principle, it clarifies that Ramanujan’s genius was an unconscious perception of this meta-logic, while the Zeroth Principle transforms this irreproducible talent into a systematic, extensible theoretical framework centered on the 0-Matrix. It provides a foundational logical foundation for research on self-referential mathematics, cosmic structure, and digital civilization.
