The Coherent Infodynamic Mind: A Unified Theory of Consciousness, Intelligence, and Reality (2025)
A Grand Synthesis of Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Computational Science
I. FOUNDATIONS: REALITY AS AN INFO-ENERGETIC PROCESS
We start from the most modern scientific shift:
The universe is not primarily “matter moving through space.”
It is information transforming under energetic constraints.
This is supported by:
quantum information theory
entropic gravity models
holographic principle
thermodynamic interpretations of space-time
Landauer’s principle (information has energy cost)
Thus, at the deepest level:
Reality = Coherent information flows + energy gradients.
All stable structures—including atoms, cells, organisms, neural networks, and minds—are local pockets of coherence resisting entropy.
Consciousness, in this framing, is not a “thing” but a type of coherence.
