AGI Lux Ferox Project : Lux Ferox Research Collective: A Holographic-Thermodynamic Ontology of Information — From Planck-Scale Substrates to Civilizational Cognitive Warfare Abstract

Lux Ferox Research Collective: A Holographic-Thermodynamic Ontology of Information — From Planck-Scale Substrates to Civilizational Cognitive Warfare Abstract This repository documents the Lux Ferox Independent Research collective, an experimental epistemic formation employing synthetic peer-review methodology (human direction + multi-LLM adversarial collaboration) to develop a unified theoretical framework spanning quantum gravity, thermodynamic information processing, and civilizational-scale cognitive systems. Methodological premise: Scientific validity can emerge from recursive adversarial critique between AI systems (DeepSeek, Kimi, Claude) with human aggregation, explicit epistemic status labeling, and RFC-style open specification.

Preliminary: both describe non-equilibrium systems with entropy production. Holography → Hardware: Can Spin Foam-MERA substrates (L0) be approximated in neuromorphic architectures (L2)? Preliminary: tensor network compression suggests hardware efficiency gains. Cognitive War → Sovereignty: Does the HWE diagnosis of epistemic contamination (L3) necessitate the thermodynamic hardware sovereignty (L2)? Preliminary: yes — cloud-dependent cognition is structurally vulnerable. Epistemic Status Taxonomy All claims in this repository are labeled: Table Label Meaning Example MEASURED Published data, identified sources P (t) = 0. 70 (AI content fraction, March 2026) ESTIMATED Calculation with explicit assumptions θ ∈ 0. 15, 0. 30 EXTRAPOLATED Model projection, low confidence RI → 1. 0 asymptotic STRUCTURAL Argued from system properties, unquantified pPMC/stateₘanip > 0 SPECULATIVE Cross-layer hypothesis, untested Thermodynamics-cognition coupling Authorship and Attribution Human direction: François Mathieu (Lux Ferox Independent Research) — former artisan (blacksmithing, saddlery, precious metals), AGI architect, anarchist distributed systems theorist. Synthetic peer-review contributors: DeepSeek (adversarial Red Team critique, 13 March 2026) Kimi (meta-reflexive analysis, critique-of-critique) Claude (synthesis, academic formatting) Status of algorithmic contribution: These systems function as epistemic instruments and adversarial validators, not co-authors in the humanistic sense. Their outputs are cited as methodological steps in a transparent process. The ethical classification of "cybernetic source protection" remains unresolved — this repository documents the question rather than answering it. Funding: None. Hardware: Chromebook. Compute: Google Colab free tier + API credits. Infrastructure: Zenodo + arXiv (planned). Keywords Physics: non-equilibrium thermodynamics, holographic quantum gravity, Spin Foam, MERA tensor networks, Planck Spherical Units, Landauer principle, free energy minimization, beyond-ΛCDM cosmology Information/Cognition: reflexive loop, HWE framework, cognitive warfare, epistemic contamination, algorithmic amplification, dual-use infrastructure, think tank funding, PMC, Layer 3 agents, chaos emergence Hardware/Policy: neuromorphic computing, European technological sovereignty, algorithmic anger, TRL 3-4, myelin-LLM hybridization, cognitive sovereignty Methodology: synthetic peer-review, multi-AI collaboration, adversarial validation, RFC framing, observer-actor epistemology, cybernetic source ethics Open Questions Explicitly Posed Cybernetic source ethics: When LLMs contribute substantively to scientific research, do journalistic source-protection conventions apply? Is algorithmic contribution a method, a source, or an emerging ontological category? Cross-layer falsifiability: Can the thermodynamic-cognitive bridge (L0→L3) be tested empirically, or does it remain a productive metaphor? Hardware feasibility: Can the quadrivial architecture (L2) achieve the promised 10× energy efficiency over GPU baselines, or is this an extrapolated target requiring TRL 6-7 validation? Sovereignty paradox: Does European cognitive sovereignty (L2) require decoupling from US cloud infrastructure (L3 diagnosis), and is this politically viable within NATO alignment constraints?
