The Neural Network of Ki: A Pre-Material Design Hypothesis of the Universe

This paper proposes that the universe contains a pre-embedded design structure — a network of Ki — that precedes the formation of matter. This network, analogous to the neural network of living organisms through which bioelectric signals propagate, divides the universe into two fundamental domains: Ku (void) and Ma (interval). Matter does not arise spontaneously; rather, it emerges at the nodal points of this Ki network, following a design that already exists. Gravity is understood as the distortion of this network, particles as the resonance of its nodes, and the speed of light as a structural constant of the boundary layer between the Koku Universe and the Genki Universe. This hypothesis was originally conceived by the author at age 30 and is now formalized as an information-first cosmological model. Part of the TheYKHC research series.
