General Architecture: An Information-Theoretic Framework for Quantum Dynamics
Description
The role of information in physical reality has become an increasingly important topic in
modern theoretical physics. This study proposes General Architecture (GA), an information-
theoretic framework in which physical systems are interpreted as active information-
processing structures. Within this framework, quantum fields, spacetime geometry,
and matter particles form the physical substrate (”hardware”), while physical laws, sym-
metries, and environmental interactions act as governing instructions (”software”). A
mathematical model based on an architectural evolution operator is introduced and
evaluated through numerical simulations of a two-level quantum system using QuTiP.
Simulation results demonstrate stable coherent oscillations, entropy generation,
preservation of quantum coherence, maximal Bell-state entanglement, and robust quan-
tum Fisher information. The model yields an energy gap of 2.088, an oscillation period
of 3.009, a maximum Shannon entropy of 0.411 bits, a peak coherence of 0.275, and
maximal entanglement entropy of 1.000 bit. Although the framework remains fully
consistent with conventional quantum mechanics, it provides a unified information-
processing interpretation that may serve as a foundation for future investigations into
the informational structure of physical reality.
