The Universe as a Continuous Operation on Information

The author is not a professional physicist or a specialist in gravitational theory. This work does not propose a new physical theory, nor does it aim to offer an alternative to existing formal models or to formulate a so-called “theory of everything.” The considerations presented herein are interpretative and conceptual in nature and should be regarded as an invitation to further discussion rather than as a closed theoretical model. The objective of this work is to propose a coherent conceptual framework for reflecting on the role of information in the description of cosmic phenomena. The analysis is based on available observational data, the relevant scientific literature, and an intuitive synthesis of existing physical concepts. All citations and references to the literature constitute an integral and permanent part of the text; they are not merely illustrative but serve to document the origins of the concepts employed and the scientific context of the interpretation presented. This article presents a model of the Universe as a dynamic, self-regulating informational system in which information constitutes the fundamental ontological entity, while matter, spacetime, and consciousness emerge as its derived manifestations. The proposed framework integrates Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity, and Information Theory (Wheeler, 1990; Nielsen & Chuang, 2010). A key premise is the observation that even at the level of individual quanta, information does not exist as a static record but rather as an evolving structure of possibilities, actualized through interactions, an interpretation consistent with the formalism of quantum mechanics (Preskill, 1992). Within this framework, black holes are interpreted as limiting information compressors (Bekenstein, 1973; Hawking, 1975), while the accelerated expansion of the Universe is viewed as a consequence of increasing informational complexity and the corresponding need to expand the capacity of spacetime (’t Hooft, 1993; Susskind, 1995).
