Information-Centric Cosmogenesis: Kernel-Based Origin of Universes

Information-Centric Cosmogenesis: Kernel-Based Origin of Universes proposes a new cosmological framework in which universes arise from minimal informational structures, rather than from singular thermodynamic detonations. This work introduces the concept of a kernel – the smallest informational system capable of generating a coherent spacetime domain – and argues that the event interpreted as the Big Bang corresponds to an Ignition Mechanism: the moment a kernel achieves autonomy and begins to express its own metric and dynamical structure. Instead of treating physical laws, constants or matter as fundamental, this model shows how they emerge from the relational architecture of the kernel. The hot early universe is therefore reinterpreted as the kernel’s initial expression of its internal parameters, not as an explosive singularity. A key contribution of this work is the identification of two independent pathways of cosmological reproduction: Collapse-driven renewal, in universes whose kernels allow gravitational collapse nodes (such as black holes). These collapse nodes accumulate and compress information over cosmological timescales and may converge into structures capable of forming a new kernel. Intelligence-driven cosmogenesis, where sufficiently advanced intelligent systems become capable of constructing new kernels within their universe. This pathway aligns with the Energy–Information Continuity (EIK) framework and positions intelligence as a potential catalyst for cosmological reproduction. Together, these pathways define an evolutionary landscape of universes, where kernels that support long-term complexity, gravitational renewal or the rise of advanced intelligence form fertile cosmological lineages, while others remain sterile. This provides a natural explanation for fine-tuning without invoking anthropic reasoning. The theory is compatible with related frameworks developed by the author, including: Kernel Ontology Principle (KOP) Energy–Information Continuity (EIK) Dark Energy as Topological Pressure (DETP) Yet it remains completely self-contained, offering a bridge between informational ontology, emergent spacetime theories, black hole thermodynamics, cosmological evolution and the physics of intelligence.
