The Order of Chaos: Toward a Unified Theory of Information, Symmetry, and Order

This work proposes a unified theoretical framework that connects four foundational contributions of twentieth-century physics: David Bohm’s concept of active information and the Implicate Order, John Wheeler’s “It from Bit,” Rolf Landauer’s principle on the energetic cost of information, and Emmy Noether’s theorem linking symmetry and conservation laws. The central thesis argues that reality emerges from a deep, non-local informational structure governed by the Principle of Minimum Work applied to informational degrees of freedom. This leads to the formulation of an “Entangled Pair” between Informational Energy and the variational principle of minimum dissipation. The document examines supporting evidence from quantum matter, condensed matter physics, cosmology, and biological systems, as well as technological applications that demonstrate how informational structures can modulate energy and guide systems toward lower entropy states. The work aims to offer a coherent ontological perspective that bridges physics, information theory, and complexity science, while remaining open to further theoretical development and empirical investigation.
