Unified Informational Theory (UiT) is a theoretical manuscript that proposes a new way to understand time, force, mass, gravity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, nuclear decay, and horizon entropy through one common idea: physical reality becomes observable only when possible distinctions are written into physical records. The framework begins from a simple distinction. Before measurement, a physical system may contain real but unrecorded phase structure. Measurement does not create the system; it extracts part of that structure into ordinary record-space, such as a detector event, a track, a position, a momentum record, or an environmental trace. This extraction requires physical work and carries an entropy cost. In UiT, time is not treated as a primitive background that flows by itself. Instead, recorded time appears when physical change is written into stable records. The theory separates two roles usually combined under the word “time”: the metric scale of duration, supplied by the internal phase cycle associated with mass, and the arrow of time, supplied by irreversible record formation and entropy production. The manuscript then applies this idea across several physical domains. Mass is interpreted as closed phase structure with an internal matter-wave cycle. Force is interpreted as a gradient of mismatch between invariant internal phase structure and the local capacity of record-space to write physical change. Inertia and gravity are treated as different readouts of this same mismatch. Gravity is also interpreted as a record-capacity load whose boundary limit gives horizon entropy. Electromagnetism is described as the phase-connection branch of the same structure: charge represents a coupling orientation, while electric and magnetic fields arise as curvature-like readouts of phase transport. Diffusion and thermodynamic irreversibility are treated as the irreversible record-writing branch of the same underlying phase structure. The weak sector is developed as a local identity-rewrite process. This leads to a proposed classifier for which radioactive decay channels can be environmentally perturbed and why. The strong sector is modeled as a three-carrier phase-closure structure that gives a geometric account of fractional charge weights, confinement architecture, and the Cornell-potential form, while leaving full QCD dynamics as an open completion. The manuscript presents three empirical commitments: a weak-decay perturbability taxonomy, a prediction of driven coherent transport above the equilibrium critical temperature, and a photon time-of-flight prediction with no linear Planck-energy term, leading quadratic suppression, and no energy-dependent angular deflection in vacuum. This deposit contains the current manuscript version of UiT, including its informational primitive, two-layer account of recorded time, universal phase-stiffness force law, gravitational capacity interpretation, electromagnetic phase branch, weak-sector classifier, strong-sector closure model, and empirical predictions.
