The Invisible World of Ki: A Physical Definition of the Spiritual Realm

If the universe contains a pre-embedded design structure — the Ki network — that precedes the formation of matter, then the material world is merely the projection of that design onto observable reality. This paper proposes that what human civilizations have called 'the invisible world,' 'the afterlife,' or 'the spiritual realm' is the Ki network itself: a non-material domain in which the design of all matter pre-exists and persists. Death is reinterpreted not as annihilation, but as the dissolution of material manifestation while the design pattern in the Ki network persists. This framework integrates Eastern spiritual cosmology with information-first physics. Related: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19691010. AI Dialogue: https://katayama-works.github.io/hikariplay/
