The Universal Information Field and the Resolution of Quantum Paradoxes in the SV0 Framework

This manuscript is the sixteenth paper in a series establishing the Signed-Volume Effective-Fluid (SV0) model. In Papers I-XV, we introduced the SV0 model, derived its microphysics, analyzed its perturbations, established its dynamical stability, provided a string-theoretic embedding, constructed a unified cosmological history with an early-universe bounce, resolved the cosmological constant problem, analyzed CMB signatures, explored its quantum cosmology, provided a discrete spacetime derivation, explained baryogenesis, and discussed the emergence of gauge symmetries. In this sixteenth work, we propose a fundamental extension to the SV0 model by introducing a Universal Information Field (UIF). The UIF is a pre-geometric, spacetime-independent structure that encodes the complete history of the universe. While independent of spacetime, the UIF is coupled to the discrete space packets (Paper XIII) and serves as a passive ledger that guides the evolution of quantum states without altering causality. We show that this framework naturally resolves the measurement problem, the delayed-choice quantum eraser paradox, the non-locality of quantum entanglement, and the black hole information paradox. This work unifies the discrete quantum geometry of the SV0 model with a global information space, completing the Theory of Everything.
