Unified Informational Theory (UiT) is a theoretical manuscript that proposes a unified physical framework for understanding time, mass, inertia, gravity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, nuclear decay, strong-force closure, and horizon entropy from one common principle: physical systems carry real informational structure, and ordinary physics is the readout of how that structure appears as position, motion, phase, force, field, record, or boundary capacity. The framework begins with information and distinction. Information is not restricted to measured detector records. A physical system can carry information as position, change of position, velocity, phase, momentum, clock rate, field response, or environmental trace. Measurement does not create this information; it exposes or extracts part of an already physical structure into an ordinary record-facing form. UiT distinguishes three record-facing branches of information. The first is distinguishable work-capable information: information that can appear as separable configurations, usable records, ordered physical work, or ordinary distinguishable states. The second is repetitive conservative information: cyclic phase information that is real and physically readable, but whose closed repetition does not by itself create new free configurational distinctions. Static gravity and electrostatics belong to this branch. The third is dissipative information: information that has become unavailable as ordered distinction through irreversible writing, heating, erasure, diffusion, radiation, coarse-graining, or loss of accessibility. Time is then treated as an informational readout rather than as a primitive background that simply flows. The metric scale of duration is tied to phase cadence and Lorentzian readout. The arrow of time is tied to irreversible record formation, erasure, coarse-graining, and entropy production. Recorded time appears when physical change becomes accessible as stable ordering, but physical information can exist before it becomes an ordinary record. The manuscript then gives an informational reading of special relativity. Velocity is information about position and change of position. The Lorentz factor expresses a quadratic informational relation, (v²/c²), between spatial change and proper-time rate. In ordinary three-dimensional motion, this information remains part of the kinematics of position change. When the same Lorentzian informational structure is carried as closed internal phase motion rather than as open spatial displacement, its averaged readout becomes mass, inertia, spin and gravity. Mass is interpreted as closed light: a closed phase carrier with a Compton-scale internal cycle. It is not a point substance moving through space. Each cycle carries repetitive Lorentzian phase information. This information is real and physically readable, but it is not freely work-capable configurational information. After phase averaging, the closed phase is read outward as an isotropic record-capacity load. Gravity is the radial readout of that repetitive Lorentzian information. A closed carrier rotates through internal phase directions; the phase-averaged second-moment readout projects this internal Lorentzian structure into ordinary record-space as a radial load. Clocks run slower near mass because part of the local informational capacity is already occupied by repetitive closed-phase Lorentzian information, leaving less available capacity for ordinary distinguishable record formation. The Newtonian force law, Schwarzschild exterior, reciprocal radial metric coefficient, PPN value (gamma=1), horizon limit, and gravitational entropy count are treated as consequences of how closed phase information is distributed, averaged, and saturated in record-space. Force is interpreted as the gradient of registered phase mismatch. When an internal phase structure, transport phase, closure condition, or rewrite relation fails to close consistently across record-space, the mismatch becomes physically readable as force, field, action, or transition cost. The dynamical action is the ledger cost of registered phase misclosure. The stationary-action principle is therefore reinterpreted as a stationary registered-mismatch principle: physical paths are those for which the total registered mismatch closes consistently under the allowed physical constraints. Electromagnetism is developed as the phase-connection branch of the same framework. Charge represents a coupling orientation in (U (1) ) phase transport. Electric and magnetic fields arise as readouts of phase connection, holonomy, and registered electromagnetic compaton phase shifted by alpha radians degree of mismatch. Static electromagnetism is conservative because its underlying phase information is cyclic and repetitive. Time-dependent radiation belongs to transport mismatch, where phase closure is broken and information propagates outward. Thermodynamics enters when record-facing information becomes irreversible or unavailable as ordered work-capable distinction. Heat is not treated as absence of information, but as physical information that is macroscopically readable while microscopically unavailable as useful configurational distinction. Diffusion, erasure, coarse-graining, entropy production, and thermalization are treated as dissipative branches of phase mismatch and record formation. The weak nuclear sector is developed as a local identity-rewrite process. Weak decay is not a conservative repetitive force. It is a transition in which one identity structure is locally rewritten into another. This leads to a proposed classifier for which radioactive decay channels can be environmentally perturbed and why: a decay can be shifted only when the external handle participates in the relevant rewrite mismatch. The strong sector is modeled as a phase-closure structure. Three phase carriers form a closed color-singlet configuration with zero closure mismatch. Fractional charge weights arise from projection of this three-carrier phase structure into ordinary record-space. Confinement is interpreted as the cost of trying to separate a closed repetitive phase structure: separation writes accumulated closure mismatch. This gives a geometric account of fractional charge weights and confinement architecture, including the Cornell-potential form, while leaving full QCD dynamics as an open completion. The horizon limit is treated as saturation of repetitive gravitational registration. As the gravitational capacity load approaches the horizon, ordinary distinguishable exterior writing closes. The remaining exterior access to the closed carrier is counted as boundary registration. Horizon entropy is therefore interpreted not as lost information, but as saturated repetitive gravitational information counted at the boundary. The manuscript presents several empirical commitments. These include 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.
