Non-Equilibrium Informational Field Theory Axioms

This treatise presents the Non-Equilibrium Informational Field Theory (NIFT) Axioms, a
foundational framework positing that the universe is fundamentally composed not of matter or
energy, but of physically real patterns of information evolving within a dissipative substrate. We
establish a comprehensive set of axioms across three categories: Ontological, defining the informational pixel  and the asymmetry principle as the origin of time; Dynamical, describing
the universe through telegraph causality and the informational coherence law; and Structural,
explaining the emergence of spacetime geometry via holographic constraints and soliton closures. NIFT unifies the arrow of time, quantum mechanics, and gravity under a single coherent
paradigm: that continuity is the macroscopic vote of a substrate too fine to be outvoted, and reality is the bridge between equilibrium and non-equilibrium states.
