CH-ToE: A Theory of Everything Rooted in Structured Entropy Reduction
The Cernuto–Hobbey Theory of Everything (CH-ToE) proposes that structured entropy reduction is the fundamental mechanism by which reality acquires form. Not energy. Not matter. Not even information in the abstract — but the physically constrained compression of uncertainty into coherence.
In this framework, knowledge is not semantic, symbolic, or subjective. It is defined as a quantifiable reduction in entropy that is compressible, recurrent, and predictive — a process that underlies the formation of particles, organisms, and thoughts alike.
CH-ToE identifies a universal structuring cadence:
\[ \lambda = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{\varphi} \approx 1.748 \]
This constant marks the threshold at which a system ceases to dissipate and begins to organize. It recurs at the tipping point of phase transitions across physical, biological, and artificial systems. Lambda emerges from deep geometric constraints — and reveals when entropy becomes structured enough to activate coherence.
CH-ToE unifies diverse phenomena under this single principle:
- Wavefunction collapse in quantum mechanics
- Punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution
- Plateau transitions in machine learning
- Concept formation in cognition
Each instance, though physically distinct, obeys the same informational geometry.
CH-ToE is not a metaphorical reinterpretation of knowledge. It is a falsifiable, mathematically derived, and experimentally testable theory. It proposes that structure itself emerges when entropy is reduced in accordance with a universal cadence — and that this emergence defines the boundary between coherence and chaos.
Where entropy is reduced below the structuring threshold \( \lambda \), reality stabilizes. Where it isn’t, coherence collapses — and Subreality emerges.
CH-ToE repositions knowledge: not as the crown of cognition, but as the mechanism by which reality itself coheres.
Human intelligence is a late expression of this universal process.
