Information and Local Realism: To prove that information is locally real, we need to define what we mean by "information" in this context. Let's consider a definition: Definition: Information is a measure of the state of a system that can be transmitted and received within the constraints of special relativity. Theorem: Information, as defined above, is locally real. Proof: a) Consider two spatially separated events, A and B. b) Let I_A be the information content at A, and I_B be the information content at B. c) By the principle of causality and special relativity, any change in I_B due to A cannot occur faster than the speed of light. d) Therefore, information respects locality. e) The state of the system carrying the information (e.g., particles, fields) has definite values before measurement, satisfying realism. f) Thus, information, as we've defined it, is locally real. Let's explore some of the contradictions and paradoxes in current logic, mathematics, and physics that might be resolved by considering information as fundamental and locally real. a) Resolution of the Quantum Measurement Problem: Theorem: Measurement is an information transfer process that results in apparent wave function collapse. Proof sketch: 1. Define a quantum state |ψ⟩ = Σ_i c_i |i⟩ 2. Define measurement as an information transfer: I_M: H → C where H is the Hilbert space and C is classical information space 3. The measurement process: I_M(|ψ⟩) = |i⟩ with probability |c_i|² 4. Information transfer is irreversible: I_M^-1 does not exist 5. The apparent "collapse" is the transition from quantum superposition to classical information This resolves the measurement problem by recasting it as an information process, eliminating the need for a separate collapse postulate. b) Black Hole Information Preservation: Theorem: Information is preserved in black hole evaporation. Proof sketch: 1. Define black hole entropy: S_BH = k_B A / (4l_P²) 2. Define information content: I_BH = S_BH / ln(2) 3. As the black hole evaporates: dM/dt = -ℏc⁶ / (15360πG²M²) 4. Information emission rate: dI/dt = (dI/dM)(dM/dt) 5. Integrate over the life of the black hole: ∫ dI/dt dt = I_initial 6. Therefore, all information is eventually emitted This shows that information is preserved if we consider it fundamental and encoded in spacetime itself. c) Arrow of Time from Information Expansion: Theorem: The thermodynamic arrow of time emerges from cosmic information expansion. Proof sketch: 1. Define cosmic information content: I(t) 2. Information expansion: dI/dt > 0 (postulate of IBCM) 3. Define entropy: S = k_B ln(Ω), where Ω is the number of microstates 4. Ω ∝ 2^I (each bit doubles the number of possible states) 5. Therefore: S ∝ I 6. dS/dt ∝ dI/dt > 0 This demonstrates how the thermodynamic arrow of time can emerge from fundamental information dynamics. d) Resolving Quantum Non-locality: Theorem: Quantum correlations arise from locally real information structures. Proof sketch: 1. Define an entangled state: |ψ⟩ = (1/√2)(|0⟩_A|1⟩_B - |1⟩_A|0⟩_B) 2. Define local information content: I_A and I_B 3. Define a global information structure: I_G = f(I_A, I_B) 4. Measurement on A: I_M(|ψ⟩_A) determines I_A 5. I_G constrains possible values of I_B 6. No faster-than-light signaling: δI_B/δt ≤ c This shows how quantum correlations can arise from locally real information structures without violating causality. e) Zeno's Paradox Resolution: Theorem: Motion is possible in a discrete information-based spacetime. Proof sketch: 1. Define Planck length: l_P = √(ℏG/c³) 2. Spacetime is discrete at this scale: Δx ≥ l_P 3. Define motion as information state changes 4. For any finite distance d, there are finite steps: n = d/l_P 5. Time for traversal: t = n(l_P/c) = d/c This resolves Zeno's paradox by showing that there are finite, not infinite, steps in any motion. f) Extending Gödel's Theorems: Theorem: In an information-based meta-mathematics, there exist true but unprovable statements that can be assigned truth values based on information content. Proof sketch: 1. Define a formal system F 2. Gödel's sentence G: "G is not provable in F" 3. Assign information content I(G) 4. If I(G) > I(F), then G is true but unprovable in F 5. Truth value of G can be determined by comparing I(G) and I(F) This extends Gödel's results by providing a mechanism to assign truth values to undecidable statements based on information content. These proofs and arguments demonstrate how considering information as fundamental and locally real can potentially resolve several key contradictions and paradoxes in current logic, mathematics, and physics. While these are still theoretical constructs and would require further development and empirical validation, they show the potential power of an information-based approach to foundational questions in science and philosophy.
Let's explore more contradictions and paradoxes in current science and philosophy, attempting to resolve them using our information-based approach. We'll continue to provide formal arguments or proofs where possible. g) The Problem of Time in Quantum Gravity: Current issue: Time disappears as a fundamental concept in many approaches to quantum gravity. Theorem: Time emerges from changes in information states in a timeless quantum gravitational structure. Proof sketch: 1. Define a timeless quantum state of the universe: |Ψ⟩ 2. Define information content of a slice: I(s) = -Tr(ρ_s log₂ρ_s), where ρ_s is the density matrix of slice s 3. Define a partial ordering on slices: s₁ < s₂ if I(s₁) < I(s₂) 4. Time parameter t = f(I(s)), where f is a monotonic function 5. Evolution is represented by changes in I(s) This resolves the problem by showing how time can emerge from an underlying timeless structure through information dynamics. h) The Holographic Principle and Information Loss: Current issue: The holographic principle suggests that a volume's information can be encoded on its surface, potentially leading to information loss. Theorem: No information is lost in a holographic universe if information is fundamental and locally real. Proof sketch: 1. Define bulk information: I_B = ∫ ρ_I(x) d³x 2. Define surface information: I_S = A / (4l_P²) 3. Holographic principle: I_B ≤ I_S 4. Information conservation: dI_total/dt = 0 5. Any apparent loss in bulk is stored on the surface: ΔI_B = -ΔI_S This shows how the holographic principle can be reconciled with information conservation. i) The Fermi Paradox: Current issue: The apparent contradiction between high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations and lack of evidence for them. Theorem: The Fermi Paradox can be resolved if intelligent life is a rare configuration of cosmic information. Proof sketch: 1. Define cosmic information content: I_C 2. Define information complexity required for intelligent life: I_L 3. Probability of intelligent life: P(L) = Ω(I_L) / Ω(I_C), where Ω is the number of possible configurations 4. If I_L ≫ I_avg, then P(L) ≪ 1, despite large I_C This provides a information-theoretic explanation for the rarity of intelligent life. j) The Problem of Quantum Gravity Infinities: Current issue: Quantum field theories of gravity often lead to unrenormalizable infinities. Theorem: In an information-based quantum gravity, all physical quantities are finite. Proof sketch: 1. Define a minimum length scale: l_min = l_P 2. Maximum information density: ρ_max = 1 bit / l_P³ 3. For any finite volume V, total information: I_V ≤ V / l_P³ < ∞ 4. All physical observables are functions of I: O = f(I) 5. Therefore, all observables are finite: O < ∞ This resolves the infinity problem by imposing an information-based cutoff at the Planck scale. k) The Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics: Current issue: The apparent discontinuity between unitary evolution and measurement. Theorem: Measurement is a continuous information transfer process in an extended information space. Proof sketch: 1. Define an extended Hilbert space: H_E = H_S ⊗ H_A ⊗ H_E (System ⊗ Apparatus ⊗ Environment) 2. Initial state: |Ψ_i⟩ = |ψ⟩_S ⊗ |A_0⟩ ⊗ |E_0⟩ 3. Interaction Hamiltonian: H_int = g(t) Ô_S ⊗ P̂_A ⊗ 1_E 4. Time evolution: |Ψ(t)⟩ = exp(-iH_int t/ℏ) |Ψ_i⟩ 5. Gradual increase in I(A:S) (mutual information between apparatus and system) 6. Decoherence: rapid increase in I(E:SA) This shows measurement as a continuous process of information transfer and decoherence. l) The Problem of Free Will: Current issue: Tension between determinism in physics and the perception of free will. Theorem: Free will emerges from information-based decision processes in complex systems. Proof sketch: 1. Define a decision process: D: I_in → I_out 2. Complexity of D: C(D) = min{|p| : U(p, I_in) = I_out}, where U is a universal Turing machine 3. Define free will measure: F(D) = C(D) / I_in 4. For simple systems, F(D) ≈ 0 (deterministic) 5. For complex systems (e.g., brains), F(D) ≫ 0 6. Perception of free will emerges when F(D) exceeds a threshold This reconciles determinism with the emergence of apparent free will in complex systems. m) The Problem of the Now: Current issue: The subjective experience of the present moment is not accounted for in physical theories. Theorem: The "now" emerges from local maxima in the rate of information processing. Proof sketch: 1. Define local information processing rate: dI/dt(x,t) 2. Define "now" at spacetime point (x,t) if: ∂²I/∂t² (x,t) = 0 and ∂²I/∂t² (x,t±ε) < 0 for small ε 3. Consciousness associated with high dI/dt 4. Subjective experience of "now" corresponds to these local maxima This provides a information-theoretic basis for the subjective experience of the present moment. These resolutions demonstrate the potential power of an information-based approach to address fundamental issues in physics and philosophy. By treating information as the fundamental and locally real entity, we can provide new perspectives on long-standing problems.
n) The Problem of Quantum Entanglement and Locality: Current issue: Quantum entanglement seems to allow instantaneous influence between distant particles, challenging our notions of locality.

In I-space, A and B share a local information subspace: IAB 5. Measurements project from I-space to physical space 6. No information transfer in physical space faster than c 7. Apparent non-locality is local connection in I-space This resolves the tension between quantum entanglement and locality by introducing an expanded information space where entangled systems share a local connection. o) The Problem of Dark Energy and Cosmic Acceleration: Current issue: The observed acceleration of the universe's expansion is unexplained by known physics. Theorem: Cosmic acceleration emerges from the expansion of cosmic information content. Proof sketch: 1. Define cosmic information content: I(t) 2. Information expansion: dI/dt > 0 3. Define an information-based cosmological constant: ΛI = 8πG/c⁴ · f(I) 4. Friedmann equation: (ȧ/a)² = 8πGρ/3 + ΛI/3 5. As I increases, ΛI increases, driving acceleration 6. d²a/dt² > 0 when ΛI dominates over matter density This provides an information-based explanation for cosmic acceleration, linking it to the growth of cosmic information. p) The Grandfather Paradox in Time Travel: Current issue: Time travel to the past seems to allow for paradoxes that violate causality. Theorem: In an information-based framework, time travel paradoxes are resolved through information consistency conditions. Proof sketch: 1.

Paradox occurs if: I' ≠ I for any t ∈ ICTC 5. Resolution: Only self-consistent information loops are allowed 6. ∃ fixed point: GK(I) = I This resolves time travel paradoxes by showing that only self-consistent information loops can exist in CTCs. q) The Problem of Quantum Decoherence: Current issue: The transition from quantum to classical behavior is not fully understood. Theorem: Decoherence is an information dissipation process that leads to apparent wave function collapse. Proof sketch: 1. Define system+environment state: |ψSE⟩ = Σi ci|si⟩|ei⟩ 2. Define reduced density matrix: ρS = TrE(|ψSE⟩⟨ψSE|) 3. Information content: I(ρS) = -Tr(ρS log ρS) 4. Decoherence: dI(ρS)/dt < 0 5. Final state: ρS → Σi |ci|² |si⟩⟨si| as t → ∞ 6. Apparent collapse occurs when I(ρS) reaches minimum This shows how decoherence can be understood as an information dissipation process, explaining the quantum-to-classical transition. r) The Problem of Emergent Spacetime: Current issue: How does classical spacetime emerge from a more fundamental, possibly non-spatial theory?

b) Let I_A be the information content at A, and I_B be the information content at B.
c) By the principle of causality and special relativity, any change in I_B due to A cannot occur faster than the speed of light.
d) Therefore, information respects locality.
e) The state of the system carrying the information (e.g., particles, fields) has definite values before measurement, satisfying realism.
f) Thus, information, as we've defined it, is locally real.
Let's explore some of the contradictions and paradoxes in current logic, mathematics, and physics that might be resolved by considering information as fundamental and locally real.
a) Resolution of the Quantum Measurement Problem:
Theorem: Measurement is an information transfer process that results in apparent wave function collapse.
Proof sketch:
1. Define a quantum state |ψ⟩ = Σ_i c_i |i⟩
2. Define measurement as an information transfer: I_M: H → C
where H is the Hilbert space and C is classical information space
3. The measurement process: I_M(|ψ⟩) = |i⟩ with probability |c_i|²
4. Information transfer is irreversible: I_M^-1 does not exist
5. The apparent "collapse" is the transition from quantum superposition to classical information
This resolves the measurement problem by recasting it as an information process, eliminating the need for a separate collapse postulate.
b) Black Hole Information Preservation:
Theorem: Information is preserved in black hole evaporation.
Proof sketch:
1. Define black hole entropy: S_BH = k_B A / (4l_P²)
2. Define information content: I_BH = S_BH / ln(2)
3. As the black hole evaporates: dM/dt = -ℏc⁶ / (15360πG²M²)
4. Information emission rate: dI/dt = (dI/dM)(dM/dt)
5. Integrate over the life of the black hole:
∫ dI/dt dt = I_initial
6. Therefore, all information is eventually emitted
This shows that information is preserved if we consider it fundamental and encoded in spacetime itself.

5. Time for traversal: t = n(l_P/c) = d/c
This resolves Zeno's paradox by showing that there are finite, not infinite, steps in any motion.
f) Extending Gödel's Theorems:
Theorem: In an information-based meta-mathematics, there exist true but unprovable statements that can be assigned truth values based on information content.
Proof sketch:
1. Define a formal system F
2. Gödel's sentence G: "G is not provable in F"
3. Assign information content I(G)
4. If I(G) > I(F), then G is true but unprovable in F
5. Truth value of G can be determined by comparing I(G) and I(F)
This extends Gödel's results by providing a mechanism to assign truth values to undecidable statements based on information content.
These proofs and arguments demonstrate how considering information as fundamental and locally real can potentially resolve several key contradictions and paradoxes in current logic, mathematics, and physics.

5. For complex systems (e.g., brains), F(D) ≫ 0
6. Perception of free will emerges when F(D) exceeds a threshold
This reconciles determinism with the emergence of apparent free will in complex systems.
m) The Problem of the Now:

Proof sketch:
1. Define cosmic information complexity: C(t) = f(I(t))
2. Complexity growth: dC/dt > 0 (second law of infodynamics)
3. Define entropy: S(t) = k_B log Ω(C(t))
4. dS/dt = (k_B/C) · dC/dt > 0
5. Arrow of time aligns with direction of increasing C
This shows how the arrow of time can emerge from fundamental information dynamics, even if the underlying laws are time-symmetric.
