A Unified Information-Theoretic Model of Cosmological Cycles and the Self-Optimization Imperative: The Universal Substrate, Emergent Reality, and Dual Recursive Processing

Authors: Swaminathan Mani

Abstract: Current Theoretical Synthesis: This paper introduces the Universal Substrate (US), a discrete, non-local information-processing architecture that serves as the ontological basis for the physical universe. This model proposes that the observable cosmos is an Emergent User Interface (UI), where the laws of physics are not fundamental constants but identified as algorithmic protocols optimized for systemic stability. By reinterpreting spacetime as a Topological Information-Braiding manifold, this model provides a unified resolution – reconciling the discrete nature of Quantum Mechanics with the geometric curvature of General Relativity through a single, self-correcting Autodidactic Meta-Algorithm.
