The Creator Paradox: A Recursive Information-Theoretic Model of Intelligence and Cosmogenesis

This preprint introduces The Creator Paradox, a unified theoretical model proposing that intelligence is not an evolutionary accident but a structural consequence of an information-based universe. The paper argues that human cognition, artificial intelligence, and cosmological evolution all reflect a shared generative architecture. According to the Creator Paradox, the universe produces minds capable of discovering the same informational structures that originally produced the universe itself, creating a recursive loop in which creator and creation converge. Drawing from physics, cosmology, cognitive science, information theory, complexity science, and artificial intelligence, the paper develops a multidisciplinary argument for intelligence as a convergent attractor in complex systems. It explores parallels across scales, including quantum information conservation, the structure of neural computation, predictive processing in biological systems, the emergence of artificial reasoning systems, and the possibility that cosmological cycles embed informational blueprints that enable their own reconstruction. This work is presented as a speculative but academically grounded framework. It does not claim empirical proof but aims to synthesize existing scientific and philosophical research into a coherent meta-theory of intelligence and cosmic recursion. The Creator Paradox proposes that intelligence and universes co-evolve across cycles of collapse and renewal, making the boundary between origin and outcome fundamentally recursive. This preprint is intended to contribute to discussions in theoretical cosmology, philosophy of mind, AI theory, complex systems, and speculative future studies. It is released publicly to establish authorship, provide an accessible citation, and invite interdisciplinary critique.
