How the Universe Thinks – and Becomes Everything
What if information is not just data, but the fundamental substrate of reality itself? In this series, I explore how the universe processes, transmits, and transforms information across scales, from quantum mechanics to biological systems to human consciousness. Infogenesis traces the emergence of complexity and meaning through natural computation, feedback, and evolution. It’s a scientific and philosophical investigation into how structure arises, how systems adapt, and how intelligence may be a property of the universe itself.
