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.
