On the Physics of Information
We propose a foundational framework in which spacetime, gauge symmetries, and physical dynamics emerge from the constraints of finite information across relational quantum subsystems. By modeling the universe as a network of informational frames connected by locally consistent perspectives, we derive curvature, causal structure, and gauge freedom as consequences of bounded resolution and composability. In the low-resolution limit, informational holonomies yield Einstein’s equations and Yang–Mills dynamics without assuming a smooth background manifold. The framework predicts a conserved entropy budget governing gauge couplings and derives the Standard Model symmetry group as the minimal decomposition consistent with internal saturation. Dark matter emerges as unresolved informational structure deforming external curvature without gauge registration. This approach unifies gravitational and gauge phenomena as entropic constraints on distinguishable correlations and offers falsifiable predictions for the evolution of physical constants and the topology of quantum fields.
