The historical disconnect between symbolic traditions, cognitive science, and theoretical physics has prevented a unified understanding of how information organizes physical reality. This paper presents Otiogenesis, an integrative theoretical framework proposing that reality exhibits a code-like informational structure — a structured substrate underlying and organizing the tangible — that can be read and actively modulated through symbol, number, and form. The framework is grounded in four interdependent foundational axioms and supported by twenty-two interdisciplinary convergences drawn from quantum physics, mathematical biology, ecology, neuroscience, clinical medicine, linguistics, philosophy of computing and information, algorithmic information theory, philosophy of physics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of biology, biomimetics, philosophy of cognitive science, metaphysics, ethics, and traditional knowledge systems. A transversal Principle of Otiogenic Correspondence is introduced, establishing that what occurs at one level of reality occurs simultaneously at all other levels, because all levels are co-expressions of one code. An inferred Otiogenic Coherence Field is proposed as the structural condition that maintains this correspondence as a dynamic, active process. Four falsifiable hypotheses are derived from the axioms, each paired with explicit refutation conditions. The convergence of independent systems under a single otiogenic principle generates a higher-order implication that this work identifies and leaves open for scientific and philosophical inquiry: if reality exhibits code-like structure with properties consistent with design, the question of the origin of that code is not theological in derivation — it is structural, and it is logically unavoidable.
