HOW TO TRY TO FALSIFY THEOPHYSICS

A guide for critics, skeptics, and serious reviewers.

Theophysics is a constraint-based framework, not a belief demand. It explicitly specifies its failure modes in advance. If any of the following succeed, the framework must be revised, demoted, or abandoned.


🏛️ 1. FALSIFY THE ONTOLOGICAL CORE

Target: χ (The Logos Field)

  • Defeat: Provide a non-regressive, non-brute ground of reality that does not require a self-terminating primitive.
  • Defeat: Prove that "information" cannot be ontic (is only epistemic description).

🏛️ 2. FALSIFY INFORMATION PRIMACY

Target: Matter is a derivative of Information.

  • Defeat: Identify a measurable, irreducible "stuff" in physics that possesses non-relational, non-informational primitive content.
  • Defeat: Fully reduce informational states to material state descriptions without loss of explanatory scope.

🏛️ 3. FALSIFY THE MORAL DYNAMICS (R5.1)

Target: Sin functions as Noise/Decoherence.

  • Defeat: Identify a repeatable class of behaviors traditionally labeled "sinful" (deception, betrayal, cruelty) that sustainably increases trust, reduces coordination costs, and expands agency across generations.

🏛️ 4. FALSIFY THE PHYSICAL EMERGENCE

Target: Gravity/Spacetime are emergent.

  • Defeat: Prove that spacetime must be ontologically primitive to avoid logical or physical contradiction.
  • Defeat: Demonstrate physical phenomena inconsistent with informational primacy (e.g., non-informational conserved substance).

🏛️ 5. FALSIFY TERMINAL STATES

Target: Bifurcation into Coherence or Collapse.

  • Defeat: Demonstrate a third stable long-term attractor that is neither coherence-preserving nor collapsing.
  • Defeat: Show terminal collapse can reverse spontaneously without external ordering input.

🛡️ FINAL REMINDER

A framework that cannot specify how it could be wrong is not a theory. Theophysics specifies its failure modes in advance. Targeted falsification is the only valid refutation.
