Sam Senchal’s Observer Theory and God Conjecture: When Reifying Process into Substance Violates Both Biblical Grammar and Thermodynamic Physics, While Mirroring Discovery Institute Tactics
ByNathan Sweet February 15, 2026February 26, 2026
How Senchal’s TI-as-Necessary-Being Contradicts Hebrew Imperfect (אֶהְיֶה), Greek Predicate Nominative (ὁ θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν), Conservative Evangelical Scholars (Wright, Harris, Dunn, Campbell), Landauer Bounds, Organizational Closure, and Four Peer-Reviewed Critiques (Aaronson, Rickles, Natal, Weinberg)—While Relying On Unfalsifiable Assumptions That Can Equally Validate Any Claim—Then Blocks the Critic for Systematic Falsification UPDATE: Rather than engage in good…

Noether’s Theorem Beyond Physics: Symmetry, Constraint, and What It Means to Persist
ByNathan Sweet February 12, 2026February 13, 2026
How the deepest identity in physics connects conservation laws, thermodynamics, mathematical structuralism, and consciousness Emmy Noether walked into a room of physicists in 1918 and handed them the deepest sentence in the history of science. They have been underreading it ever since. What Noether’s theorem reveals about consciousness, persistence, and the thermodynamic cost of every…

The Architecture of Everything, Part III: The Dissolution of Discrete Agency: Organizational Closure as Distributed Planetary Process
ByNathan Sweet February 8, 2026February 8, 2026
A Falsification-First Framework for Understanding Consciousness, Technology, and Biological Intelligence as Integrated Constraint Networks Abstract: This article demonstrates that the concept of “discrete agents” (individual humans, individual AI systems, isolated organisms) is empirically incoherent when subjected to organizational closure analysis. We show that consciousness, cognition, and agency emerge from distributed constraint networks that necessarily extend…

The Architecture of Everything, Part I: Constraint Propagation Across All Scales. A Falsifiable Framework for Multi-Scale Causation from Quarks to Quasars
ByNathan Sweet February 8, 2026February 8, 2026
How Constraint Satisfaction Explains Order at Every Scale Without Platonic Skyhooks, Divine Tinkering, or Metaphysical Free Lunches “In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable: and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.” “Those who are unwilling to expose their ideas to…
