UNIFIED THEORY OF BIOCENTRIC GRAVITY AND PHOTONIC CONSCIOUSNESS 2.0 EXTENDED EDITION

ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION: THE TRILEMMA OF CONTEMPORARY PHYSICS Contemporary physics finds itself fragmented into paradoxically incompatible islands of theoretical success. General Relativity describes the macroscopic "stage," while Quantum Mechanics describes the microscopic "actors," leaving the role of the observer open. This unified thesis presents a resolution to this "trilemma" through three fundamental axes: Theoretical Foundation: Introduction of an “Active Information” term into Einstein’s field equations (Biocentric Gravity). Observer Mechanism: Definition of the biological entity as a hybrid matter-light system capable of non-computable wave function collapse (Photonic Nature). Empirical Validation: Reinterpretation of James Webb Space Telescope data as evidence of non-local topological updating (Participatory Cosmology). The commissioning of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has exposed significant discrepancies between the predictions of the hierarchical galaxy formation model and observations at high redshift. The presence of massive, dynamically relaxed structures at epochs merely 300 to 500 million years after the Big Bang suggests a fundamental theoretical gap requiring an ontological reinterpretation of the observational process. Addendum to Version 2.0: The present revision fully preserves the definitions, hypotheses, and conceptual framework of the original December 2025 version (published in January 2026 on Zenodo.org). The additions focus on deepening the role of photonic collectives, non-locality, angular momentum composition, the hypothesis of an effective spin-2 sector, the relationship between gravity and inertia, and the possible dispensability of an independent fundamental graviton. These additions do not replace the original propositions; they expand upon them.
