General Theory of Information: A New Paradigm for Understanding Our Universe

What if everything you thought you knew about reality was only half the story?Bernard Vancil takes readers on a bold intellectual journey across science, mathematics, philosophy, and beyond - uncovering a powerful idea hidden in plain sight: information is not just a byproduct of the universe, but a fundamental force shaping it. From the laws of physics to the code of life itself, invisible instructions govern the behavior of matter, pointing to a deeper layer of reality that cannot be seen, touched, or measured in traditional ways.Blending rigorous reasoning with vivid, accessible examples, this book challenges the dominance of materialism and invites readers to reconsider the role of mind, meaning, and purpose in the structure of the world. As the argument unfolds, a provocative question emerges: if information always comes from a mind, what is the source of the vast information embedded in nature?
