This article explores the conceptualization of the Universe surrounding humans, the information it contains, and how humanity, through the perception of this information, creates images of the real, earthly, and imaginary worlds. It is shown that humanity tends to structure its knowledge of the world into specific laws that claim to explain observed phenomena and mental images. Distinguishing three main physical research paradigms in theoretical physics — о field-theoretical (dominant), geometric, and relational — the authors propose universal principles for structuring these paradigms. Particular attention is paid to the information compression algorithm as a recurring feature in various natural processes.
