The Universe Exists Only in This Instant

Based on the author's previously proven Closed-System Self-Update Paradox (Chen, 2026a), this paper extrapolates the conclusion to a cosmological model. We first clarify the conditionality of this extrapolation: if the universe satisfies (1) finite information capacity and (2) ab...

Closed System Self-Update Paradox

This paper proves a fundamental theorem concerning the impossibility of self-memory in finite closed systems. Suppose the total information storage capacity of a system consists of a finite number of information atoms (indivisible minimal semantic units). We prove that any non-tr...

The Origin and Necessity of Cosmic Quantization

Previous work (Chen, 2026b) established the uniqueness of cosmic presentness and stipulated that the single-step state difference is physically semantically indivisible (Axiom 6), but did not prove why the values of such changes must be discrete. This paper rigorously fills that...
