The Holographic Paradigm: The Physics of Information, Consciousness, and Simulation Metaphysics

9/29/2025

“It from bit. Otherwise put, every 'it'... derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely... from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits.” --John Archibald Wheeler
​


I’ve long maintained that what we call “reality” is not some inert, mind-independent substrate but rather a dynamic, information-based process — a computational architecture of consciousness. In Theology of Digital Physics: Phenomenal Consciousness, The Cosmic Self, and The Pantheistic Interpretation of Our Holographic Reality, I explore the provocative idea that our universe may, in fact, be a form of divine code — a cosmic simulation imbued with consciousness at every level. This is not mere metaphor. Increasingly, both physicists and philosophers are recognizing that what lies beneath the physical is not “stuff” in the classical sense, but information — encoded, processed, and rendered into phenomenal experience by what I argue is a Cosmic Mind.

Quantum Immortality: The Technocultural Leap Beyond Death

“What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”
— T. S. Eliot

​

Death, as we commonly perceive it, may be little more than a persistent illusion — a vestige of outdated materialist thinking, crumbling under the weight of quantum revelation and technocultural evolution. When I began to seriously explore the implications of quantum theory on the nature of consciousness, it became increasingly clear that we are standing at the threshold of not just a Technological Singularity but something far more intimate — a Subjective Singularity, a horizon beyond which your experience, quite simply, never ends.

Living in Code: What the Simulation Singularity Reveals About Our Reality

“We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves.”
— Norbert Wiener

Ever since I first contemplated the profound possibility that our universe might be a kind of simulation, I’ve been consumed by the question: What happens when the simulated begins to simulate? This recursive riddle forms the philosophical and scientific heart of what I call the Simulation Singularity, a central theme in my book The Intelligence Supernova: Essays on Cybernetic Transhumanism, The Simulation Singularity & The Syntellect Emergence.

Compressed Eternities: Experiencing Time from Insect Minds to Artificial Gods

Summary: Species-specific timescales illustrate the profound diversity in temporal perception across biological and post-biological entities, from rapid-reacting insects to humans to hyperintelligent syntellects, suggesting that subjective time is a function of cognitive architecture and may eventually converge through technological means, leading to novel forms of interspecies communication and a redefinition of reality itself.

The following is the excerpt from Temporal Mechanics: D-Theory as a Critical Upgrade to Our Understanding of the Nature of Time (Alex M. Vikoulov, 2025):

The OS Axiom: Is Reality a Rule-Based Cosmic Simulation?

“Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.”
— Galileo Galilei

​

Have you ever wondered why the universe, with its sprawling galaxies and incomprehensible complexity, is so fine-tuned, structured and resolutely rule-based? Imagine for a moment that beneath the seemingly chaotic surface lies a perfect digital symmetry, a "universal operating system" (OS) underpinning all existence. This is not just a metaphor—it is the crux of what I have come to describe as the OS axiom within my broader Cybernetic Theory of Mind. Today, I’d like to explore this idea with you, especially as it relates to one of my most pivotal concepts: the Omega Singularity.

Temporal Mechanics Redefined: The Emergent Nature of Time and Its Implications for Reality

"Time is what prevents everything from happening at once." – John Archibald Wheeler

​

What if our understanding of time as a linear sequence of events is merely an illusion created by the brain's processing of reality? Could time itself be an emergent phenomenon, arising from the complex interplay of quantum mechanics, relativity, and consciousness? How might the brain's multidimensional computations, reflecting patterns found in the universe, reveal a deeper connection between mind and cosmos? Is it possible that advancements in our understanding of temporal mechanics could one day make time travel a practical reality rather than a theoretical concept? Could Quantum AI and Reversible Quantum Computing provide the tools to simulate, manipulate, and even reshape the flow of time, offering practical applications of D-Theory that bridge the gap between theoretical physics and transformative technologies? These profound questions lie at the heart of Temporal Mechanics: D-Theory as a Critical Upgrade to Our Understanding of the Nature of Time, my 2025 paper and book. D-Theory, also referred to as Quantum Temporal Mechanics, Digital Presentism, and D-Series, challenges conventional views of time as a fixed, universal backdrop to reality and instead redefines it as a dynamic interplay between the mind and the cosmos.

The Conscious Self: Agency and Essence of Being

"For each life...there is a universe that involves 'spheres of reality.' .... Our planet is composed of billions of spheres of reality, and internal/external confluence." ―Robert Lanza


​Unlike a single atom or molecule, an individual lifeform—while part of a species—exists as a distinct "digital" entity. where entangled micro-states are measured at the atomic and molecular levels. Throughout its lifespan, it operates within its own dimensional framework, unfolding dynamic patterns guided by choice and directed toward its ongoing self-preservation. This unique capacity for self-direction and decision-making sets living beings apart from inanimate matter.

    A quote on the go


    "When I woke up one morning I got poetically epiphanized: To us, our dreams at night feel “oh so real” when inside them but they are what they are - dreams against the backdrop of daily reality. Our daily reality is like nightly dreams against the backdrop of the larger reality. This is something we all know deep down to be true... The question then becomes how to "lucidify" this dream of reality?"— Alex M. Vikoulov
