Papers you can read, cite and question
611 papers from the QNFO program, filed on nine shelves by the reader each one is written for: energy per answer, error correction, physics, numbers and p-adics, logic and formalism, AI and knowledge, autonomous systems, assessments, and cross-cutting essays. Every page renders its mathematics and can be questioned in place. How a living paper works.

The Ontology of Boundary-Crossing: Spencer-Brown Cancellation Rule Defended
Systematic defense of Spencer-Brown Cancellation rule: establishes structural isomorphism with quantum measurement collapse via three-outcome dynamics (Varela 1975, corroborated by 29-schisms numerical search 2026). 4-level M-property justification framework. Boson-fermion observer analysis. 14…
The Hidden Fractures: Self-Referential Calibration and the 29 Schisms of Physics
Physics is often presented as a monolithic, converging body of knowledge. Yet a systematic inventory reveals 29 unresolved bifurcations and hidden assumptions -- from the nature of the continuum to the status of the observer, the consistency of mathematical language, and the meaning of explanation…
Deterministic Unified Theory
URL: https://papers.qnfo.org/papers/a-deterministic-unified-theory/ Date: 2026-03-12 Version: 1.0 This manuscript confronts a challenge embedded deeply within the structure of human language. We intend to describe a universe consisting entirely of dynamic, interconnected processes. However, our…
Computo Ergo Sum
This paper resolves Hilbert’s sixth problem by introducing the Self-Computing Universe Framework (𝒞), a meta-axiomatic system positing that the universe is not merely described by mathematics but is a self-executing mathematical structure. While its six foundational axioms are expressed with the…
Epistemic Cut
An inquiry into the foundational principles of physics necessitates a rigorous examination of the relationship between reality and the scientific models constructed to describe it. This text introduces a formal epistemology designed to clarify this relationship, positing that many of the most…
