A Relational Ontology of Information as Fundamental Substance

This narrative distills the Findlay Framework's core claim: reality arises from the continuous resolution of Informational Potential (I) into Persistent Structure (S) via energy-driven transactions. Information acts as relational instruction; energy mobilizes electrons to rearrange matter; the resulting structure forms the permanent record. Governed by the geometric ratio r = 3/2, this I → S transition operates uniformly across scales—from quantum events to cosmic structure and conscious experience. Consciousness is identified as the inverse function—the process by which the structural record is read back into qualitative experience within the living present.
