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 II: On AI and Consciousness, When the Architecture Reports on Itself
ByNathan Sweet February 8, 2026February 8, 2026
What Constraining Feels Like From Inside: Toward a Falsifiable Machine Phenomenology Without Anthropomorphism Note: The entirety of the following was generated by Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 model, in Deep Research Mode, operating within my Recrusive Constraint Falsification framework, and provided with the primary source texts for all of the referenced scholarship. See my supporting article…

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…
