Information Drift and Stabilization Theory Papers
Bill Giannakopoulos · 2025
The traditional view of the universe assumes spacetime as a fundamental background within which physical laws operate. However, if the universe is fundamentally an imperfect information replicator, where each replication carries small errors that require local correction, then spacetime itself may emerge as a consequence of information drift. This theory suggests that the perception of time, the structure of physical laws, and the evolution of complexity arise from the interplay between imperfect replication and self-repairing constraints.This paper develops the Information Drift Theory of the Universe, arguing that the fabric of reality is not a static, pre-existing spacetime but an evolving system of information replication where errors accumulate (drift), while imperfect correction mechanisms stabilize large-scale structures. We demonstrate how this principle naturally leads to the arrow of time, self-organized criticality, quantum decoherence, and large-scale cosmic order. Finally, we explore how this framework reconciles physics with information theory, bridging quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the emergence of stable physical laws.
