The Theory of
Canonical Relativity

The Theory of Canonical Relativity (TCR) proposes that physical law is not a set of arbitrary axioms imposed on the universe, but the emergent result of a single information-theoretic constraint: reality is the maximal set of histories that can be rendered without contradiction. By treating the vacuum as an active medium with finite processing bandwidth, TCR demonstrates that the fundamental structures of physics (from the curved geometry of General Relativity to the unitary evolution of Quantum Mechanics) arise naturally as optimal compression strategies required to maintain consistency under informational load.

At the core of the framework is the Master Equation, $\delta I_{tot} = 0$, which unifies gravity, matter, and thermodynamics into a single variational principle based on coherence cost. In this view, gravity is the minimization of informational strain (geometric divergence); the Standard Model's specific gauge groups and three fermion generations emerge from the unique algebraic constraints of octonionic coherence; and Dark Energy is derived not as a cosmological constant, but as the thermodynamic Landauer cost of erasing incoherent quantum histories to maintain a classical present.

Crucially, TCR extends beyond interpretation to offer concrete, falsifiable predictions in regimes where the vacuum's bandwidth saturates. It predicts specific anomalies in high-density quantum processors—such as sub-linear decoherence scaling and power-law error correlations—which standard models cannot explain. Furthermore, it unifies the "Dark Sector" by describing Dark Matter and MOND effects as different phases of a single "resolution field" reacting to the universe's evolving informational debt, eliminating the need for new particles.
