Abstract
It is striking that Physics is still without a universally accepted concept of the relation between the Cosmos, the Particles that compose it, and the field of Energy from which all entities and processes emerge. This situation is not entirely surprising, however, for an even greater uncertainty exists regarding Information – specifically, the exact nature of its manifestation as a component of the Cosmos. This clearly imposes significant limits upon the use of Information as a tool of discovery and definition. Indeed, so long as Physics persists without an all-inclusive Paradigm with regards to foundational phenomena, it must necessarily be restricted to only a part of reality. Therefore, the purpose of this essay is to identify certain assumptions that have till now prevented the development of a Paradigm that would enable the various branches of Physics to examine the Inorganic, Organic, and Sensory-Cognitive phenomena of the Cosmos within a single mathematical and empirical framework. This Paradigm will then be developed in detail, based on new assumptions that reveal the Observer and the Cosmos as being involved in a 'gear-mesh' system that establishes their reciprocal interaction, in both the immediate and evolutionary time planes.
