Description
The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe, or CTMU, is a model claimed by its creator Christopher Langan, to be a theory of everything. At the most abstract and base level, the paper shall examine whether or not the fundamental high-level purpose and point of the CTMU can be classified as a theory of everything, or if metaphysics could be considered a more appropriate realm of classification for the model.
