This theoretical paper explores information ontology and its implications for consciousness and existence, suggesting new frameworks for understanding reality.
This paper adopts a specific metaphysical stance rather than providing a proof based on physical theorems. From the philosophical perspective of information ontology, it proposes and demonstrates the essential characteristics of the universe as an absolutely self-consistent information system. The core thesis argues that: all existence itself is the instantiation of rules rather than the execution result of rules; both consciousness and matter are the inevitable unfolding of the universal rule set. The article establishes a clear ontological hierarchical structure, demonstrating that pure logical rules take precedence over physical laws, and thermodynamic entropy increase is merely an inevitable byproduct of the instantiation process. By introducing hidden variable theory to reconstruct quantum uncertainty, this paper maintains the integrity of the absolute determinism framework and elevates the halting problem to the philosophical height of cosmic finality. Within this framework, the possibility of "jailbreaking" (breaking through the rule system) constitutes the ultimate paradox of ontology. The article further explores the multi-level sandbox nesting model, the logical dilemma of consciousness jailbreaking, and the fundamental differences between carbon-based and silicon-based life. This study attempts to provide a coherent theoretical framework for understanding the informational nature of the universe, the boundaries of consciousness, and the classification of intelligence forms.
