Glenn Layne Stoner

Writer. Researcher. Quantum Cowboy.

By some accounts, a supervillain connecting energy, information, and thermodynamics.

The Theory of Emergence proposes that coherence is undifferentiated information potential and that reality unfolds as this potential resolves into record. It links quantum measurement, thermodynamic cost, and the origin of structure.

Plain site on purpose — no fluff. If you need fancy, look elsewhere.

About the idea

Short explainer in human words — coherence as potential, measurement as resolution, Landauer as the cost of knowing.

Coherence: undifferentiated information potential. Not a field in space — a pre-structured unity of possible outcomes.

Decoherence: resolution into record. Measurement is the act that converts potential into outcomes.

Cost: resolving information produces heat. At minimum, kBT ln 2 per unbiased bit — the Landauer bound.

Claim: structure — energy, spacetime, matter — emerges as coherence resolves. The universe keeps score in entropy.

If that reads clean, you got the point. If not, read the preprint.
