The Computed Universe (CU) Model

Overview

The CU model offers a radical and coherent interpretation of physical reality, grounded in the computational structure of spacetime itself. It provides fresh insight into longstanding questions around why mass-energy equivalence includes c^2, and proposes a causal, tick-driven propagation framework that unifies GR and QM concepts.

This technical note derives a compact exponent map demonstrating that all Planck quantities, together with the gravitational coupling constant, can be expressed exactly as a unified monomial Q = t_P^a · ℏ^b · cⁿ , with integer exponents (a, b, n). This representation exposes a closed algebraic structure with integer exponent closure underlying the Planck system and provides a foundational structural result for the Computed Universe (CU) framework.
