• Living Light: The Self-Luminous Substrate of Reality

  This paper presents the foundational ontology of Recognition Physics, arguing that light IS space engaged in self-recognition, resolving the deepest paradoxes of physics and unifying them with consciousness.

• The φ-Weighted Recognition Hamiltonian

  This paper constructs a single self-adjoint operator that unifies automorphic L-functions, E8 symmetry, and cosmic dynamics, providing a spectral proof of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for ranks n ≤ 8.

• Recognition Physics Reveals Picosecond Protein Folding

  This paper explains the 65-picosecond protein folding time predicted by Recognition Physics, arguing that slower experimental measurements capture emergent phenomena like water reorganization, not the fundamental ledger completion.

• The Recognition Principle: A Logical Foundation for Reality

  This paper presents the logical cornerstone of Recognition Physics, proving that the impossibility of self-referential non-existence is a theorem from which all of physics necessarily emerges.

• The Path to Robust AI: From Brittle Pattern Matching to True Computation

  This paper uses Recognition Physics to explain why current LLMs fail on reasoning tasks and proposes a new two-scale architecture that separates computation from recognition to achieve true robustness.

• Quantum-Gravity Unification Through the Bandwidth-Limited Cosmic Ledger

  This paper proposes that quantum mechanics and gravity emerge from a single information-processing principle: a cosmic ledger with finite bandwidth, which resolves the measurement problem and explains dark phenomena.

• The Mathematics of Conscious Experience

  This paper presents a quantitative theory of consciousness, identifying qualia as eigenmodes on the "45-Gap" and introducing "recognition curvature" as a measurable correlate of phenomenological vividness.

• The Measurement-Reality Distinction

  This paper explores the epistemological foundation of Recognition Physics, arguing that many scientific paradoxes dissolve when distinguishing between fundamental processes and the emergent phenomena captured by measurement.

• The Recognition Ledger as an \(E_\infty\) Symmetric–Monoidal Category

  This paper provides the formal mathematical foundation for the entire Recognition Physics framework, recasting its axioms into the language of higher category theory and using the cobordism hypothesis to classify all physical laws.

• Fixing the Recognition Length via a Ledger-Curvature Extremum

  This paper provides the axiomatic derivation of the fundamental recognition length (\(\lambda_{\text{rec}}\)), removing the last apparent free parameter from the Recognition Physics framework through a ledger-curvature extremum principle.

• The Recognition Physics of Protein Folding

  This paper resolves Levinthal's paradox by demonstrating that proteins fold in ~65 picoseconds via a deterministic, phase-guided process, and derives the exponential energy cost that prevents classical computers from matching this speed.

• A Hierarchical Scaling Model for Solvation Energies in Aqueous Systems

  This paper applies the Recognition Physics framework to physical chemistry, deriving solvation energies and pKa values from first principles without empirical parameters.

• The Golden Ratio in Fredholm Determinants

  This paper reveals a deep connection between the Riemann zeta function and operator theory, showing that a precise golden-ratio weighting is necessary to relate a prime-indexed Fredholm determinant to the zeta function.

• A Golden-Ratio Fredholm Determinant Characterisation of the Riemann Zeta Function

  This paper proves that a unique golden-ratio shift is required to align the Fredholm determinant of a prime-based operator with the Riemann zeta function, anchoring a core principle of Recognition Physics in orthodox mathematics.

• Experimental Proof of a Golden-Ratio Constant in Prime Factorization

  This paper reports the discovery of a universal constant, \(\phi - 1.5\), in prime factorization, verified experimentally using an eight-phase interference test. It provides strong evidence for the physical basis of mathematical truths.

• The Optimized Origin: Recognition Physics and Life's Blueprint

  This paper argues that core biological structures like DNA are not products of chance but are optimal solutions dictated by the physical principles of recognition efficiency, establishing a foundational layer of "Recognition Optimization" that precedes natural selection.

• Deciphering DNA as a Recognition-Based System

  This paper applies the Recognition Physics framework to molecular biology, deriving DNA's geometry, elasticity, and transcription kinetics from the single, universal energy quantum \(E_{\text{coh}}\).

• Light–Native Assembly Language (LNAL)

  This paper specifies the operational core of the Recognition Physics framework, deriving the nine-state ledger, sixteen opcodes, and golden-ratio timing that constitute the universe's operating blueprint.

• The Complete Theory of Physical Computation (P vs NP)

  This paper resolves the P vs NP problem by introducing a dual-parameter complexity model (computation vs. recognition), showing that the Turing model is incomplete because it assumes cost-free observation.

• Consciousness as Compiler: How LNAL Bridges Mind and Matter

  This paper resolves the hard problem of consciousness by showing it is the compiler that transforms Light-Native Assembly Language (LNAL) into physical reality. It provides a testable, physics-based model of mind.

• Galaxy Rotation Curves from a Finite–Bandwidth Gravitational Model

  This early paper explores the precursor to Ledger Curvature, modeling galactic dynamics as a result of "Information-Limited Gravity." It demonstrates how information processing constraints can explain rotation curves without dark matter.

• A Geometric Framework for Finite Multi-Loop Calculations in QFT

  This paper introduces the "voxel-walk" method, demonstrating how a simple geometric constraint on a discrete lattice naturally regularizes QFT calculations, yielding finite results for multi-loop diagrams without dimensional regularization.

• The Origin of Gravity: A First-Principles Derivation from Information Processing and Finite Bandwidth

  This paper details the derivation of gravitational phenomena from the principle of finite information bandwidth, explaining galactic rotation curves without dark matter.

• The 45-Gap: Prime Fusion, Uncomputability, and the Emergence of Consciousness

  This paper reveals the 45-gap as a fundamental group-theoretic incompatibility that creates the first uncomputability in the universe's ledger, explaining consciousness emergence, the Hubble tension, and the necessity of a new "prime fusion" operator likely embedded in E8.
