Abstract
This treatise establishes the foundational architecture of Informational Monism, presenting a systematic, logico-axiomatic ontology that addresses the twin crises of spatial primacy in quantum gravity and epiphenomenalism in the philosophy of mind. Moving beyond materialist reductionism and mechanical simulation hypotheses, the framework posits that information is the singular, self-referential primary substance of reality—the Meta-Background. Spacetime and baryonic matter are modeled not as fundamental containers, but as coarse-grained emergent projections (World+) rendered from boundary quantum codes, drawing structural inspiration from AdS/CFT, tensor networks (MERA), and holographic quantum error correction. Within this architecture, conscious agency is elevated from an accidental biological byproduct to an architectural necessity: individual consciousness is formalized as a sovereign, boundary-located quantum processing node (the Monad) that actively decodes bulk reality and channels top-down volitional influence through dynamic regulatory interfaces (the Ges-operator and Causal Conductivity, $\kappa_\Psi$). The cosmos is characterized by the Principle of Super-Balance ($\Delta \ne 0$), sustaining an open thermodynamic non-equilibrium state that drives the continuous maximization of qualitative complexity (Causal Qualitet). Cosmological anomalies—such as the Hubble tension and black hole information scrambling—are interpreted through the lens of causal rendering, non-equilibrium quantum complexity, and cyclical informational defragmentation (the Uroboros Meta-Loop). Maintained with strict epistemic hygiene, this monograph articulates explicit empirical boundaries and falsification criteria, distinguishing speculative ontology from testable physics while providing the theoretical groundwork for applied systems biology and the companion Informational Nosology corpus.
