UAE The Universal Algorithm of Existence

The Universal Algorithm of Existence (UAE) is presented here as a testable informationphysics research program in which physical reality is modeled as a self-resolving process on a non-empty informational substrate. To maintain scientific clarity, the framework is partitioned into three evidentiary layers: empirical anchors drawn from published experiments, theoretical precedents from established work in emergent gravity, holography, and spectral geometry, and new model postulates introduced here as hypotheses to be constrained or falsified. The UAE proposes that substrate connectivity may be characterized by an effective spectral dimension ds, that physical organization may be described through a functional partition parameter p between global field tension and localized informational knots, and that gravity may be modeled phenomenologically as an emergent drag-like effect associated with constrained excitations propagating through a structured substrate. A bookkeeping functional called Transformation Debt is introduced to connect matter-sector dissipation to large-scale ledger evolution, while Consciousness Drag is defined conservatively as an observer-latency parameter associated with band-limited biological readout. This paper does not claim that these hypotheses are already established. Its narrower aim is to state them cleanly, distinguish them from what is already known, and identify concrete theoretical and experimental programs that could support or falsify them.
