Correct on both counts.

I sense you are trying to point to a flaw in my reasoning, or is it just my imagination?

There is no doubt that there are real physical entities that possess and process information.

I don't claim otherwise. In fact, that's exactly what the theory claims. Maybe you are referring to a theory title that 'information is fundamental'. Yes, after a fashion, and in exactly the way you described. I took a bit of a poetic license in a title only. Perhaps poorly chosen.

But again there is no doubt that information is a logical concept. However, the idea that fundamental physical matter can possess and process information is quite real.

The premise here is very simple: there is something physical that has information in it, and can process it to change its state of motion. Pretty much that's all it is. Nothing else is assumed.

What's exciting is that from that simple premise you get

1. the notion of light, i.e. the speed limit

2. the notion of mass and gravity

3. the equations for gravitational and kinematic time dilation

4. law of gravity

5. the necessity of quantum behavior

The exciting part is that none of the above exist a priori, yet emerges not only conceptually but in their known mathematical forms. Meaning, this isn't circular reasoning. More so because in some fringe cases, the results diverge from known ones - this is only for cases currently not covered by any experiments ever performed. These experiments must be done in deep space. No one has ever done that.

To differentiate the theory there is a prediction that kinematic time dilation declines with distance. Not so much that we could possibly detect it on Earth, but a simple experiment can prove it.

This experiment is a rudimentary space probe that is moving on a trajectory that takes it as far away from any mass as possible, all the while accelerating. After a certain distance, the kinematic time dilation will be significantly lower than expected, and in deep space the probe can reach much higher speeds without ever increasing time dilation and mass increase.

That would explain why some galaxies apparently move faster that light. There is no need for a space expansion hack.

The theory is really quite simple, both in premise and in mathematical unravel.

Hi Sergio, I have taken a look and read your interesting introduction to your model. I'm afraid after that the 'essay' becomes inscrutable to me. Until the very end. Hopefully you will get some readers who can really appreciate what you have presented. You have identified what you consider fundamental, which counts in its favour. Kind regards, Georgina

    Thank you Georgina. Because of that very end, and the interesting consequences, I hope everyone gives it a look, even a quick one.

    Dear Sergio Michelson,

    You wrote: "The final layer of reality You'll notice that while we speak of information, particles and avatars, we don't go into much details as to what the "physical structures" may be that support this world-view and this hypothesis. This is because we don't care what the physical structure is, only that it exists. Why?"

    My research has concluded that Nature must have produced the only real physical structure obtainable. The earth had a real visible surface millions of years before any English language fluent man, woman, child, or parrot ever appeared on the earth's surface. It would be illogical for Nature to devise different physical conditions in different places at different times. The real Universe consists of only one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated by mostly finite non-surface light.

    Hello Sergio...

    Your Mathematical presentation rates a 4E... i.e. Explanation Elegantly Explicit to Equation.

    Although I am not qualified to verify all your premises, or check your Math, the Spatial/geometry relationship expressions utilized ... e.g. the distance between 2 points... are apparently derived from the combined Cartesian/Radian coordinate system, and yes, with the equation craft mastery you demonstrate, one should be able to configure those relationships in a plethora of theories that verify C and G... i.e. C and G were derived utilizing a combined Cartesian/Radian coordinate system.

    Transformations to any geometry "bench model" are essentially infinite, but inferences derived from transformations do not necessarily retain the constraints of the Spatial relationships of the "bench" geometry, and in a "fundamental" discussion, a distinction must be made between theoretical minimum units, and geometry "bench model" verifiable minimum units.

    Although the Radian coordinate system facilitates point ray analysis, it eliminates the elegance of a unified Spatial volume unit CAD environment/quantization.

    REF: Graphic Illustration of Radian/Cartesian/UQS Geometry Comparative http://www.uqsmatrixmechanix.com

    The Cartesian coordinate system supports unified Spatial volume unit quantization... i.e. Cartesian Spatial quantization is infinitely divisible by scaled Cubic units as the Base Volume units of the Cartesian geometry quantization, but not all logic derived Spatial points can be projected onto a 3 axis-dimensional Cartesian coordinate grid.

    A Cube unit has no centroid to facilitate an Origin Singularity... i.e. Energy point source that expands in all directions equally... and therefor a Cartesian CAD

    environment/quantization cannot support Spatially defined unified minimum units of Space (QI) and Energy (QE) required for analysis of Origin QE/QI Emission and subsequent Distribution.

    Although the Radian coordinate system facilitates point ray analysis, it eliminates the elegance of a unified Spatial volume unit CAD environment/quantization.

    REF: Graphic Illustration of Radian/Cartesian/UQS Geometry Comparative http://www.uqsmatrixmechanix.com

    Also it should be noted that not all Spatial volume unit quantization's that have a centroid to facilitate an Origin Singularity, support unified minimum units of Space (QI), required for Emission Distribution equal in all directions from a single point.

    REF: UQS Origin Singularity Geometry http://www.uqsmatrixmechanix.com/UQST-TVNH.php

    Why would particles not be comprised of the same fundamental unit of Space as are the Avatars?

    If info requires a Spatial definition, there can be no point particles, only interaction Event Points (IEP) on a Node Network (NN) channel... i.e. points/nodes/vertices have location but no spatial definition in which to contain Energy Information choreographies.

    To fundamentally relate distance and time as speed, the geo-coordinate system underlying the Space/Time relationships must have a geometry coordinate verifiable

    minimum unit of Space and Time... i.e. a minimum unit of Space (QE) and minimum unit of Time (QT) must be supported by the "bench" geo-coordinate system used in the analysis.

    If event Spatial effect is a factor of accumulated QE/QI Information Energy choreographies contributing, at Point Interaction Event, at specified QT, there can be no limit to speed w/o verifying a limitation of QE/QI.

    As per my interpretation of World Science Festival: Topic: "Limits of Understanding" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfY-DRsE86s,

    the instability w/ current Space/Energy/Time/Info Physics, is as a consequence of the current instability of Mathematics.

    My assessment is that the APPARENT current instability of Math is as a consequence of a geometry coordinate system, in which the fundamental Spatial relationships of the geometry do not support application of minimum units of Energy/Space/Time/Info, to Space/Energy/Time/Info analysis.

    Thanks Sergio, for sharing your insights and thus making an opportunity for comment... I would read with attention your comments on my essay entry Title: Knowledge Base (KB) Access as Fundamental to Info Processor Intelligence.

    Will return to rate after I read as many essays as I have time.

      Dear Sergio,

      Contests are contests of new ideas that involve overcoming the current crisis of interpretation and representation, a crisis of understanding in fundamental science. You give new ideas for a deep discussion about the nature and role of information in the universe. This is very valuable. I believe that the modern Information Revolution will force physicists to reconsider their views on the foundations of the Universum. I invite you to see my ideas.

      Successes in the contest!

      Yours faithfully,

      Vladimir

        Hi Sergio Michelson,

        - Many predictions of Dynamic Universe Model came true....Have a look at

        http://vaksdynamicuniversemodel.blogspot.in/p/blog-page_15.html

        I request you to please have a look at my essay also, and give some of your esteemed criticism for your information........

        Dynamic Universe Model says that the energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation passing grazingly near any gravitating mass changes its in frequency and finally will convert into neutrinos (mass). We all know that there is no experiment or quest in this direction. Energy conversion happens from mass to energy with the famous E=mC2, the other side of this conversion was not thought off. This is a new fundamental prediction by Dynamic Universe Model, a foundational quest in the area of Astrophysics and Cosmology.

        In accordance with Dynamic Universe Model frequency shift happens on both the sides of spectrum when any electromagnetic radiation passes grazingly near gravitating mass. With this new verification, we will open a new frontier that will unlock a way for formation of the basis for continual Nucleosynthesis (continuous formation of elements) in our Universe. Amount of frequency shift will depend on relative velocity difference. All the papers of author can be downloaded from "http://vaksdynamicuniversemodel.blogspot.in/ "

        I request you to please post your reply in my essay also, so that I can get an intimation that you replied

        Dear Sergio Michelson,

        Reliable evidence exists that proves that the surface of the earth was formed millions of years before man and his utterly complex finite informational systems ever appeared on that surface. It logically follows that Nature must have permanently devised the only single physical construct of earth allowable.

        All objects, be they solid, liquid, or vaporous have always had a visible surface. This is because the real Universe consists only of one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated mostly by finite non-surface light.

        Only the truth can set you free.

        Joe Fisher, Realist

        Nature has always been informational. We should not avoid exploring this idea just because we have computers now. The same idea and math could have been made a hundred years ago.

        I have a feeling some people shy away from informational premise simply as a consequence of computers being all around us, trying not to appear "swayed by the obvious". Read it as it is, and imagine this is the year 1800.
