The Fractal Information Principle: A Coordinated Inquiry Into a Unified Logic of Existence — Revision R4.8

Key Points

The research aims to investigate the fundamental principles that may underlie the emergence of various aspects of existence, including structure and consciousness.
Developed an interdisciplinary framework for analysis of informational processes.
Expanded on previous revisions to consolidate ideas related to boundaries, recursion, and relational structures.
Proposed testable experimental directions for further exploration.
Strengthened the understanding of informational distinction and its role in structuring reality.
Clarified the relationships between matter, light, and information as resonant phenomena.
Highlighted the importance of consciousness as an interpretive interface in the framework.

Abstract

The Fractal Information Principle is an independent interdisciplinary conceptual framework exploring whether informational distinction, recursive organisation, relational coherence, and boundary behaviour may underlie the emergence of structure, matter, spacetime, consciousness, and recursive intelligence. This upload includes the stable PDF manuscript, the editable DOCX source file, and a SHA-256 checksum file for verifying the digital integrity of the uploaded files.Revision R4.8 expands and consolidates The Fractal Information Principle as an interdisciplinary conceptual framework. This version strengthens the treatment of informational distinction, recursion boundaries, pinch points, singularities, time as informational change, matter and light as informational resonance, quantum relational structure, consciousness as an interpretive interface, metaphysical parallels, recursive intelligence, and testable experimental directions.
