Papers you can read, cite and question
710 papers from the QNFO program, filed on nine shelves by the reader each one is written for: energy per answer, error correction, physics, numbers and p-adics, logic and formalism, AI and knowledge, autonomous systems, assessments, and cross-cutting essays. Every page renders its mathematics and can be questioned in place. How a living paper works.

Disaggregating the Photonic‑Substrate Claim: A Falsifiability‑First Audit of Sub‑Hypotheses H1–H4
The proposal that photons constitute a pre‑geometric substrate from which electrons emerge as photonic knots challenges the conventional ontology of three‑dimensional space. Existing literature supplies isolated arguments for representational aspects (e.g., electromagnetic knot solitons) but offers…
Layered Ontology as an Information‑Theoretic Filter: Formal Model, Derivation, and Testable Predictions
Altered states of consciousness—near‑death experiences, psychedelic intoxication, and deep meditation—produce striking phenomenology (loss of self‑model, timelessness, unity) but lack quantitative links to measurable neural dynamics, hampering clinical design and theoretical discrimination. We…
Meta-Pattern of Reification in Physics
The practice of physics, like all scientific inquiry, operates through a delicate interplay between the observable world and the conceptual frameworks we construct to understand it. At the heart of this interplay lies a persistent cognitive trap: the tendency to mistake our mathematical models,…
Thermodynamics of Knowing
This paper re-frames the physical basis of knowledge as a non-equilibrium thermodynamic process. We reject equilibrium models and identify the “Epistemic Cut” as a dissipative phase transition in a driven open quantum system, specifically the Dicke Model. Through mean-field simulations, we…
Proton Football
How the “God Particle” Was Demoted to Just a “Mechanism” in the Standard Model of Particle Physics*** A profound epistemological schism exists at the foundation of contemporary high-energy physics: a systemic conflict between its operational reality as a relativistic quantum field theory and the…
Re‑Founding Information: An Autaxic Ontological Framework with Quantitative Illustrations
The absence of a unified, ontologically grounded theory of information hampers interdisciplinary research, obscures the design of data‑centric technologies, and inflates costs in fields ranging from quantum physics to artificial intelligence. Existing syntactic accounts such as Shannon’s theory and…
Philosophy of Science
Previous chapters have critically examined the foundations of modern physics, revealing deep challenges to our understanding of reality, substance, causality, structure, methodology, and even the process of scientific knowing itself. These challenges suggest limitations in our current scientific…
