INFORMATION, COSMOLOGY, AND THE SELF-UPDATING UNIVERSE

This trilogy presents a three-part conceptual exploration of the informational and dynamical
structure of the universe. The first essay examines the statistical inevitability of low-entropy
beginnings within cyclic cosmology. The second synthesises cross-disciplinary insights
suggesting that the universe behaves as if it were an optimised information-structured system.
The third investigates what such a universe might be said to “compute,” arguing that physical
law can be interpreted as a self-referential, state-updating process. Together, these essays offer
a coherent, modest, and integrative framework for understanding the informational architecture
of physical law without invoking teleology, design, or literal simulation hypotheses.
