A Basic Model for Mind in a Physical Universe

This thread starts not with my own ideas, but with new theoretical ideas that can kick-start a change in the paradigm - the inclusion of information science as an equal to physics .  However, it is inspiring and posits ideas that are supportive of an Informational Environment.  If the computational results pan out, it seems to answer a lot of the harder questions.

 Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles and fields. Both work brilliantly in their own domains. But put them together and contradictions appear – especially when it comes to black holes, dark matter, dark energy and the origins of the cosmos.

My colleagues and I have been exploring a new way to bridge that divide. The idea is to treat information – not matter, not energy, not even spacetime itself – as the most fundamental ingredient of reality. We call this framework the quantum memory matrix (QMM).

At its core is a simple but powerful claim: spacetime is not smooth, but discrete – made of tiny “cells”, which is what quantum mechanics suggests....

That led us to a broader principle that we call the geometry-information duality. In this view, the shape of spacetime is influenced not just by mass and energy, as Einstein taught us, but also by how quantum information is distributed, especially through entanglement.
