This insight reframes gravity as emergent---not fundamental---arising from the entanglement structure of underlying quantum information. More recently, black hole studies have demonstrated that quantum error correction---the foundation of robust information storage---governs the organization of spacetime itself. These discoveries suggest that space and time are emergent features of quantum informational codes.
2. Three Pillars of a New Cosmology: Information-Based Structures
We introduce a unified cosmological framework built upon this informational paradigm, comprising three interconnected models:
The Blink Universe
A Universe does not begin with a bang but with a blink---a quantum transition from informational potentiality to realized geometry. This process resembles a global decoherence or phase transition in the informational substrate, avoiding the singularities of the classical Big Bang.
The Multilayer Multiverse
Our Universe is one of many informationally-layered manifolds, each with its own boundary conditions, cosmological constants, and causal structures. These layers interact not through spacetime, but through topological field interference and nonlocal information transfer, akin to quantum tunneling or entangled manifolds.
The Fractal Universe
Within each Universe, structures form via fractal informational dynamics---self-similar, recursive, and far from uniform. This accounts for the emergence of complex, large-scale structures such as mature galaxies at cosmic dawn, which challenge standard cosmology.
3. Addressing Unresolved Cosmological Challenges
This model responds directly to several observational tensions and paradoxes:
Hubble Tension
Variations in the Hubble parameter are interpreted as layer-dependent informational metrics, where cosmological "constants" emerge from local boundary conditions.
Mature Galaxies at High Redshifts
The fractal model explains early structure formation as a feature of nonlinear information dynamics, not slow accretion from a homogenous plasma.
Anisotropic Galaxy Rotations
What appears as a violation of isotropy may reflect interference patterns from topological information flow within or across fractal structures.
The Low Observed Cosmological Constant
 Inter-layer interference and destructive overlap in the informational vacuum states naturally drive down the effective cosmological constant without requiring fine-tuning.
4. Toward a New Foundation
This paper does not merely revise GR or extend QFT---it reframes the ontological bedrock of physical reality. We argue that the ultimate constituents of the cosmos are not objects but relations, not particles but patterns, not energies but codes of logic and entropy.
From this foundation, gravity, spacetime, quantum decoherence, and even causality can be reconstructed as emergent phenomena. This aligns with developments in holographic gravity, quantum information theory, and black hole thermodynamics---but extends them into a full paradigm of informational cosmology.
Definition of InformationÂ
1. Ontological Statement
In our framework, information is not a property of physical systems but the substrate of existence itself. Every manifestation of spacetime geometry, energy distribution, and particle interaction is a projection or encoding of a deeper, discrete informational architecture.
