The quest to understand the Universe—its structure, origin, and behavior—has driven scholars to search for principles that unify phenomena across scales, from fundamental particles to galaxies, from quantum chaos to consciousness. A compelling philosophical-scientific framework proposes that the Universe is governed by three deeply interwoven principles: emergence, computation, and medium. Each principle brings insights from physics, cosmology, complexity science, and information theory, yet their true explanatory power arises through their mutual interaction. This framework challenges reductionism, foregrounds the dynamic interplay of information and structure, and situates the physical substrate—be it spacetime, quantum fields, or computational grids—as the generative ground upon which complexity unfolds.
This report develops a detailed analysis of each principle—defining its scope, e
