Physics as Informatics

We propose a hypothetical dual description in which physics and informatics represent the same quantum process. Physics describes probability, energy, motion, geometry, and biological organization, while informatics describes phase, spin, interference, projection, and reconstruction. For a two-state system, P(0) = cos²(θ/2) and P(1) = sin²(θ/2). The same orientation angle may define projected motion through vₓ = c cosθ and vᵧ = c sinθ. Its rate of change is ω = dθ/dt, with ω = 2πf, E = ℏω = hf, and m = ℏω/c². The hypothesis begins with a nonlocal information field whose states carry phase, frequency, orientation, and coherence. Their projection onto a horizon produces interference described by Ψ = ΣᵢAᵢeⁱφⁱ and intensity I = |Ψ|². A single projected state contains probability, intensity, orientation, and velocity, while comparisons between successive states introduce acceleration, curvature, motion, and temporal order. The intensity map may be reconstructed into geodesic pathways and binary state transitions. Ordered tubulin dimers within microtubules are proposed as biological qubit-like registers that couple to local interference and reconstruct coherent informational geometry. This complements Orch OR: Penrose objective reduction selects a physically realized state, Hameroff’s microtubule architecture orchestrates that reduction, and the present hypothesis proposes that microtubules reconstruct the selected geometry into a unified conscious moment. Physics describes the rendered projection, informatics describes the generating and reconstructive process, and information is proposed as fundamental while coherent geometry and rhythm emerge as space and time.
