Acta Universi: Where Ethics Becomes Physics

Abstract The traditional separation between physics (what is) and ethics (what ought) remains one of the most stable distinctions in modern thought. This paper examines whether the Acta Universi (AU) hypothesis—an informational-entropic ontology centered on irreversible recordings (thought-forms), the theta-entropy field S_Θ, and coherence C—allows certain ethical regularities to be reformulated as structural constraints on the dynamics of the archive. Three candidate regularities are identified: the tendency of systematic amplification of entropic discord to produce instability; the correlation between sustained coherence and longevity of systems; and the differential weight of recordings according to their irreversibility and scope. The framework is explicitly non-normative. It does not derive moral obligations from ontology and does not collapse the is–ought gap. Its contribution is limited to a possible redescription of selected ethical phenomena in the vocabulary of an informational-entropic field, offered for further conceptual and, eventually, empirical scrutiny.
