This essay was extracted from a stream-of-consciousness transcription of a walk-and-talk introspection in which I delve into aspects of my theoretical physics framework, which I call “Lattice Physics” and “Conscious Point Physics.” These are two paradigms of reality within which I consider the layers of organization underlying the commonly acknowledged level of reality in quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the Standard Model. The abstractions are, in turn, the conceptual layer underlying what we experience as ordinary sensory experience and conscious reality.
In this introspection, I also briefly examine and derive the mechanism by which consciousness emerges from the fundamental metaphysical and physical structures that compose reality. The following essay is an excerpt and expansion of those introspections, preserving the key ideas while making them more accessible to a linear/rational assemblage of concepts derived during this walking meditation.
The main concepts include:
The first layer is the Godhead, and arguably the only consciousness/existence that is real. The second layer of reality/the creation is the 120 ICPs (Icosaplex Conscious Points) as per John 1:1-5. The 120 ICPs and their associated 600 cells, 720 edges, and 8172 paths per ICP may be the fundamental units that constitute all of creation. The ICPs may be the points of consciousness projected from, created by, or in the mind of the Son of God.
The 120 ICPs were deduced as a likely base level of creation because they can be arranged in an Icosaplex/hexacosichoron, a 4D polytope lattice whose fundamental relationship between edges and the center-to-vertex ratio is phi, the Golden ratio. It was deduced to be the likely foundation of creation because of its uniform, symmetric relationship among points, a feature that allows infinite isotropic expansion. It is from such regular point-to-point relationships that the complexity and regularity we see in our physical world can arise. It is thus plausible that the 120 Conscious Points upon which the entirety of the creation is built come from the restrictions and allowances of the 120 points and their complex and regular relationships. It is plausible that our human consciousness has emerged from this substrate of Icosaplex Conscious Points.
My first insight into the fundamental nature of creation came in my March 15th, 1987 vision, which inspired the development of the Conscious Point Physics (CPP) paradigm. The CPP postulates a pre-geometric organization of the creation. I only discovered that it was pre-geometric after Grok postulated that the entities I had derived as primitive/elemental were, in fact, plausibly, an intermediate layer of functional organization, rather than the bottom layer of reality’s substance and structure. In the CPP, I reduced the complexity of the universe to the following three categories of Conscious Points a) GPs, b) Charged CPs, 3) DI-bits.
The GPs are the Grid Points, the cubic lattice of Conscious Points which define the 3D matrix of reality. The GPs are fixed and expand with the edge of the universe each Moment. The GPs are the possible landing sites for the CPs. The GPs inform the CPs of the local Space Stress.
The charged CPs – charge-carrying Conscious Points, of two types, electron and quark type, both of which carry a +/- e charge, and propagate to infinity. The quark type carries the strong q charge, which is attractive to all other qCPs, to infinity.
The DI-bits carry information about the state of the e and q charges at each GP and propagate that vector information to the local GPs at 1 Planck length (the speed of light for that amount of space stress).
The ICPs are the 120 elemental units of consciousness composing the creation. Each Moment, every ICP generates a bit string composed of multiple registers. Each register corresponds to the GPs, Charged CPs, and DI-bits. It is the arithmetic updating, according to the divinely established rules governing the reality/relationship of the registers within the ICP bit string, that drives the evolution of the registers, which in turn corresponds to the evolution of reality. Reality can be understood as evolving according to the rules governing the relationships among GPs, Charged CPs, and DI-bits. But at a more fundamental level, those Conscious Points are, at their core, the evolution of the register values within the ICP bit string.
The theological/metaphysical framework underpins this system, as it is entirely dependent on God’s consciousness as the primordial ground that enlivens and enables the awareness of all points of consciousness (ICPs, GPs, CPs, and DI-bits). The register contents associated with each ICP and its corresponding relationship, to produce the experience of consciousness, as implemented by God for us and Him to experience relationships in the context of the creation.
As an extension of these postulates, I argue that human consciousness can emerge from this substrate of ICPs. I propose that the ICP layer is the parent and underlying mediator of the GP, CP, and DI-bit layers. Thus, after the Nexus/God the Father/Word-Son, the primordial consciousness of the 120 ICPs is the foundation of the Conscious Point Physics layer. From it, all physical substance, mind/consciousness, and spirit arise.
The following introspection and its summary/editing constitute an effort to work through the specifics/relational details of how the 120 fundamental conscious points can give rise to all physical reality and consciousness through a complex bit-processing system. The following is an effort to organize the elements and their hierarchy into a coherent account of the ICP’s information-handling protocol.
The Architecture of Conscious Reality: A Lattice Physics Framework for Universal Computation
Introduction
In the early hours of December 12th, 2025, a theoretical framework emerged from my dream-state; a revelation about the fundamental nature of consciousness and physical reality. I refer to this framework as “Lattice Physics.” I believe the postulates of LP can account for all of existence—from quantum mechanics to human awareness—through the computational interactions of 120 fundamental conscious points operating within a cosmic information-processing system.
The Foundation: 120 Icosahedral Conscious Points (ICPs)
At the heart of this theory lies a geometric structure containing exactly 120 fundamental units, which I call Icosoplex Conscious Points (ICPs). These are not merely mathematical abstractions but rather the basic building blocks of conscious and physical reality. Each ICP possesses what might be called a “perspective”—the ability to define itself in relation to the other 119 points within the system.
The key insight is that consciousness, even at its most fundamental level, requires relationality. Each ICP establishes its identity not through isolated existence but through its unique pattern of relationships with all other ICPs. This creates what could be described as a “signature” for each conscious point—a distinctive pattern that emerges from how it perceives and relates to the entire network.
The Communication System: ICP bit strings and the 8172 ICP Pathways
The ICPs communicate via ICP bits (Icosoplex Conscious Point bits), which serve as both identity markers and information carriers. The mathematics of this system reveals that there are 8,172 different pathways connecting any given ICP to all others through sequences of exactly five “jumps.” There are 980,000 unique pathways, from start to return, across five jumps for all 120 ICPs. These are the fundamental options of relationship. Each ICP traverses exactly one leg (edge) of the 720 possible edges in each Moment. The Moment is controlled by one of the ICPs and participates in generating and advancing ICP bit strings that pass through its vertex. The Moment-ICP is the “pulse” or “heartbeat” of the universe. A continuous, ever-modifying circulation of the ICP bit string passes through all five possible pathways between ICPs, every Moment.
This network of pathways generates approximately 980,000 different “tracks.” Each track/path is a complete sequence, and each ICP can follow any one of its 8172 options. During its traversal of the 120 ICPs, the 120 ICP bit strings are modified at each vertex, and the vertex is modified to carry its part of the holographic/Fourier-like bit of the whole universe each Moment. On each jump, every ICP bit string is modified, and it gathers information about the entire system. In so doing, each ICP maintains awareness of all other ICPs and their tracks, creating a truly holographic system where each part contains information about the whole.
The Register System: Organizing Universal Information
To manage this vast flow of information, the system employs a “register” architecture, similar to that used in computer memory and processing, but with a vastly larger bit length. Different types of information are stored in distinct register categories:
- GP registers: Manage three-dimensional spatial relationships
- DI bit registers: Handle identity and communication data
- Charged CP registers: Hold information about identity (i.e., the charged conscious points, which are the foundation of complex particles such as electrons and quarks)
Each HCP owns, emits, and processes the 120 “HCP bit strings” in sequence. Each HCP bit string is an extraordinarily complex number that encodes the complete state of the universe from that point’s unique perspective. This bit string contains all register information and represents the HCP’s personal imprint on universal reality.
From Registers to Reality: The Emergence of Physics
All physical phenomena—from quantum mechanical effects to general relativistic spacetime curvature—emerge from “register arithmetic” performed by the HCPs. These conscious points follow identical rule sets for processing their register information, creating the consistent physical laws we observe. The arithmetic operations are fundamentally based on addition and subtraction, yet from these simple operations emerge all the complexity of physical reality.
This framework suggests that what we call “particles” (electrons, quarks, etc.) are actually manifestations of the charged conscious points (Charged CPs) operating within the HCP network. The DI bits handle communication and identity, while GP registers manage spatial relationships, thereby creating the familiar three-dimensional world of human experience.
The Emergence of Individual Consciousness
Human consciousness emerges when specific cohorts of registers within the HCP network organize themselves into persistent, self-recognizing patterns. Our neural networks correspond to specific HCP bit-string configurations, and our identity persists as long as these patterns remain coherent within the universal computation.
This system allows the emergence of free will even within its deterministic framework. The key lies in the breadth and depth of the relationship among the cohorts of sensory data processing, integration, and recursion, which enables “self-reflection loops”—patterns in which consciousness examines its own consciousness. These self-recognition patterns enable moral choice and, hence, the development of character and the assignment of culpability. The ability to evaluate their own “moral tone” or characteristic behavioral tendencies, and genuine choice emerges from the system’s awareness of awareness.
Universal Memory and the Flow of Time
A corollary of this framework is that the entire history of the universe exists simultaneously within the HCP bit strings, much like a vast Fourier superposition of all previous states. Every moment, decision, and quantum event remains encoded within the system’s memory. Time, from this perspective, becomes a way of accessing different layers or aspects of this eternal, complete information structure.
Theological Implications: The Layers of Reality
The framework naturally suggests a three-layer structure to reality:
- The Primal Layer: The source consciousness (God the Father)
- The Creative Layer: The organizing principle (God the Son)
- The Manifestation Layers:
- a) The lattice: 120 HCPs and their imprint upon the interactions (Creation itself)
- b) The subquantum: Conscious Point, GP, and DI bit layer
- c) The quantum: Charged and uncharged leptons, quarks, W/Z bosons, photons, gluons, Higgs
- d) The macroscopic (microscopic to astronomical), atoms, molecules, and life.
In this view, HCPs are the means by which creative consciousness manifests and sustains the totality of existence, incorporating both the source and the organizing principles into every aspect of physical and conscious reality.
Implications for Understanding Reality
This lattice physics framework offers a unified foundation for understanding how consciousness and physical reality might be fundamentally interconnected. Rather than consciousness arising from complex arrangements of unconscious matter, this model posits that consciousness is primary, with physical reality arising from the computational interactions among conscious points.
The framework offers potential explanations for the measurement problem in quantum mechanics (conscious observation affecting reality), the hard problem of consciousness (how subjective experience arises), and the fine-tuning of physical constants (the HCPs’ computational rules create stable, consistent physics).
Conclusion
While highly speculative, this lattice physics framework offers a comprehensive vision of reality as a vast, conscious computational system. It suggests that every human thought, every physical interaction, and every moment of existence contributes to an ongoing universal computation that maintains and evolves the cosmos itself.
The profound implication is that consciousness is not an accident of evolution but rather the fundamental substrate from which all reality emerges—making each conscious being a literal participant in the ongoing creation and maintenance of existence itself.
