THE MODAL DISCIPLINE OF COSMIC INFORMATION: a critical–propositional analysis of The Universal Theory of Information (TUI): An Emergent Framework for Space, Time, and Gravity, by M. V. Rondet, in confrontation with the Theory of Objectivity

This article presents a critical–propositional analysis of The Universal Theory of Information (TUI): An Emergent Framework for Space, Time, and Gravity, by M. V. Rondet, in confrontation with the Theory of Objectivity (TO). The study examines whether an informational ontology can be considered a sufficient first foundation for the universe, or whether information itself depends on prior modal conditions such as distinction, boundary, observability, composition, and transcendence. Grounded in the foundational, recent, and dialogical bibliography of the Theory of Objectivity, the article argues that Rondet’s proposal contains significant points of convergence with TO, especially regarding the non-primacy of space-time, the relational constitution of reality, and the emergent interpretation of gravity. At the same time, it identifies decisive tensions: under modal discipline, information cannot be accepted as an absolute origin unless its own conditions of possibility are first demonstrated. The article advances a propositional reinterpretation in which information is understood not as the first ontological absolute, but as a transcendent product of atomic relations—equivalent to knowledge, memory, and atomic radiation. On this basis, TUI is repositioned not as a complete primary cosmogony, but as a valuable emergent regime theory capable of describing later stages of cosmic structuration. The study also articulates the discussion with the phenomenic elements of TO, the Inductor Effects, the cosmogonic theorem, the cosmological Eras of the Theory of Objectivity, and recent TO works on testability, operational bridges, and Gödelian discipline. In this sense, the article contributes both to the philosophical clarification of informational cosmologies and to the broader project of establishing the Theory of Objectivity as a modal–ontological framework in dialogue with contemporary physics.
