COSMIC Framework: An Information-Theoretic Approach to Grand Unification
Description
We present a theoretical framework for unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity through information-theoretic principles, motivated by rigorous analysis of cosmic microwave background data demonstrating exceptional systematic control (0.15% false positive rate). The COSMIC (Computational Optimization of Spacetime through Mathematical Intelligence and Constants) Framework proposes that information processing serves as the fundamental bridge between quantum and cosmic scales through thermodynamically consistent mechanisms. We introduce dual energy-momentum tensors representing both mass-energy and information-energy contributions, operating within established thermodynamic constraints. The framework incorporates dynamic mathematical constant fields, modified Einstein field equations, and testable experimental predictions focused on fine structure constant variations at the 10⁻¹⁵ level. All theoretical components maintain rigorous dimensional consistency and reduce to established physics in appropriate limits.
