HIOF - OTE·ME— Paper 7: Singularity Decoupling and Cross-Scale Closure

Holographic Information Ontology Framework (HIOF) — Spirit-Diagram Theorem · Emergence Equation Series (OTE·ME) Overview The Holographic Information Ontology Framework (HIOF) — Spirit-Diagram Theorem, Emergence Equation Series(abbreviated OTE·ME, from the Chinese 靈圖定理—顯現方程) is an eleven-paper theoretical series that reconstructs physical cosmology, decoherence, and cosmic-scale dynamics on an informational rather than a purely material substrate. The series replaces the classical spacetime block with the subjective information unit as its basic ontological primitive, and formalises the resulting dynamics through three coupled variables — entanglement (E), relational structure (R), and the field medium (ϕF) — governed by a unified transaction–recognition operator. The series begins from a methodological argument for observation-boundedness and the principle of simplest cause (Paper 0), develops the formal mathematical and geometric apparatus of the framework (Papers 1–2), applies it to reinterpret quantum decoherence, matter, and the two historical "clouds" of classical physics (Papers 3–5), extends it to cosmological closure and cross-scale singularity dynamics (Paper 6), positions it against competing research programmes such as causal set theory and the Page–Wootters mechanism (Paper 7), and derives concrete, falsifiable predictions (Paper 8). Paper 9 develops white-hole information re-injection as a mechanism for effective cosmic expansion. Paper 10, added subsequently to the original nine-paper arc, supplies the series' axiomatic foundation for consciousness and consensus — the Observation Postulate and the Panexperiential Postulate — resolving the problem of other minds and the combination problem within the framework's own transactional vocabulary.
