5.3.2. Information, cost and time
Having described how experience, observation and movement arise through FOCUS, the theory now turns towards some of the most fundamental structures of manifest experience: information, cost, time and space. These phenomena are often treated as fundamental quantities in modern science, but are here understood as consequences of the same underlying dynamics that drive the Experience Circle.
The points that follow examine what information actually is, why stabilisation always entails a cost, how time arises as sequential experience, and why time and space appear as complementary aspects of the same manifestation. At the same time, these questions are linked to Landauer’s principle and the irreversible threshold transitions that make understanding, memory and stable experience possible.
This section thus elaborates the fundamental conditions for manifest existence. What in physics often appears as separate subjects — information, energy, time and space — is here described as different expressions of one and the same relational process. The focus shifts from what these phenomena do, to why they can exist at all.
