Theory of Everything: An Infinite Reference Loop Framework

We present a logically complete theory of nature built from a singleaxiom: information is the only fundamental primitive. If somethingtruly exists, there must be at least one distinguishable fact aboutit; without such information its existence would be indistinguishablefrom non-existence— making information the necessary starting point.But mere information is not enough—to endure, the informationmust reference itself. Without global self-reference, two observerscould compress the same motif into mutually inconsistent states, shatteringphysical coherence. The minimal self-consistent act of referenceis a three-node cycle (A→B→C→A). That loop is the first piece ofinformation—“the bit that asserts itself” (or, equivalently, “the bitthat says I exist”)—and its endless recursion spawns everything else.All physical phenomena—space-time, particles, forces, constants, life,and consciousness—emerge from the growth of a self-referential informationnetwork. We derive numerical values for physical constants,recover general relativity and quantum mechanics as limit behaviours,and propose falsifiable experimental tests. Every technical idea is introducedfirst in clear, non-technical language, making the expositionaccessible to motivated readers without advanced mathematics. Theunifying statement condenses to the symbol U = I ⟲: the universe isinformation that loops back on itself.
