The Cosmic Computer: Thermodynamics, Quantum Indeterminacy, and the Architecture of Complexity

This work proposes a unified conceptual framework intersecting systems thermodynamics, information theory, and quantum mechanics to analyze the universe as an information-processing architecture. Building upon the principle of least action and entropic dissipation, it examines the emergence of self-sustained complex systems, exploring how physical laws govern persistence, adaptation, and the decoding of reality through conscious observation.
