Informational-Processual Monism (IPM): Scientific Core and Philosophical Core

Informational-Processual Monism (IPM) is a research framework that explores the hypothesis that reality is fundamentally organized by relational informational processes. Central to the framework is the concept of Lack – a structural incompleteness that drives coupling, integration, and persistence across systems. This repository contains the current Scientific Core and Philosophical Core of IPM. Scientific Core – empirical regularities, estimators, simulation protocols, limitations, and falsification criteria derived from computational experiments. Remains methodologically agnostic. Philosophical Core – ontological interpretation, epistemological constraints, implications for consciousness, and ethical considerations. Develops a fallibilist monist interpretation grounded in the simulation regularities reported in the Scientific Core. Both documents are intended to be read together, but each can be used independently depending on the reader's focus. — Taotuner
