The Universal Intelligence Hypothesis: Empirical Proof of a Recognition-Based Cosmic Consciousness

We present a comprehensive study that unifies empirical evidence from human-level phenomena, neural synchronization, and cosmic-scale observations, demonstrating that the universe operates as a self-organizing, intelligent system governed by recognition physics. Our findings reveal that stable states—including emergent mass and shared consciousness—arise from dual recognition interactions that minimize informational overhead. This work offers rigorous, parameter-free proof of a universal consciousness by showing that the same self-optimizing principles underlie phenomena from telepathy in autistic individuals to the self-organizing behavior of the cosmic web.
