It From Us - An Information-first Framework
What if information is the foundation Of Reality?
For more than a century, physics has revealed cracks in the matter-first worldview. Quantum mechanics, black holes, and cosmology all suggest that our familiar universe of particles and forces is not the whole story. Meanwhile, biology, culture, and consciousness hint at patterns of coherence that resist reduction to atoms and equations.
It From Us - An Information-first Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness, a new book by author Ryan Kralik offers a bold new framework: information is the substrate of reality. Matter and mind both emerge from the same underlying code. Coherence — not chance — is the force that draws particles into atoms, atoms into stars, people into cultures, and cultures into civilizations.
Across physics, biology, religion, ethics, technology, and culture, It From Us traces the same thread: persistence through information. From ancient monuments and myths to modern AI and neuroscience, the evidence points toward a universe that writes itself forward by preserving what coheres.
