The Self-Defining Universe: A Formal Theory of Transputation and the Meta-Topological Genesis of Mathematics and Physics

Draft monograph presenting a formal theory of non-hierarchical self-reference, transputation, and meta-topological structure—"perfect self-containment" and related themes—bridging logic, computation, category-theoretic and topological perspectives, and implications for how mathematical and physical frameworks can co-emerge. This deposit corresponds to "Draft 6" of the work; the archival publication date matches the first public release of this draft (2025-09-06). The PDF is suitable for curation and peer review; it will be updated in later Zenodo versions as the manuscript matures.
