The Roebuck Architecture: A Minimal-Assumption Computational Model of the Lazy Universe

The Roebuck Architecture presents a unified theoretical framework that models the universe as a single, strategically lazy computational system. Built on eleven rigorously interconnected principles, the architecture explains a wide range of phenomena — from the sudden emergence of recursive symbolic language to emergent material hierarchies — with minimal assumptions and high internal consistency. The model generates specific, testable predictions and offers greater parsimony than existing simulation hypotheses. This preprint contains the full paper.

Abstract

The Roebuck Architecture presents a unified theoretical framework that models the universe as a single, strategically lazy computational system. Built on eleven rigorously interconnected principles, the architecture explains a wide range of phenomena — from the sudden emergence of recursive symbolic language to emergent material hierarchies — with minimal assumptions and high internal consistency. The model generates specific, testable predictions and offers greater parsimony than existing simulation hypotheses. This preprint contains the full paper.
