Divine Names as Cosmological Code: How Izanami, Izanagi, and the Kojiki Creation Deities Encode the Fine Structure Constant $\alpha=1/137$ and the Structure of Physical Reality

This paper proposes that ancient Japanese cosmological narratives—specifically the Kojiki’s account of the Zōka Sanshin (three deities of creation) and the Izanami-Izanagi polarity—function as sophisticated encodings of fundamental physical principles. Building on the "Observer Imperative" (Paper 32), we hypothesize that the interaction between Izanami and Izanagi represents the primary coupling between the invisible (information/yomi) and visible (matter/utsushiyo) realms. Remarkably, the structural and phonetic analysis of these names, alongside the Katakamuna system, reveals a direct correspondence to the fine structure constant $\alpha \approx 1/137$ as the "coupling strength" of this interface. This study suggests that ancient Japanese civilization possessed an advanced understanding of the consciousness-matter interface, preserved not in equations, but in the indestructible medium of sacred narrative.
