Computronium: The Only Currency That Matters in the Universe — Primer Edition

Every intelligence that has ever existed has been circling the same attractor without knowing its name.

Computronium: The Only Currency That Matters in the Universe is a concentrated, accessible account of where intelligence is heading and why — written by the author of the Tetraframe Theory.

In five chapters, this primer covers: what computronium actually is (Margolus & Toffoli, 1991), why the universe is already doing this (Wheeler's "it from bit"), the mechanism by which intelligence structurally converges on optimal matter for computation, what this means for AI and recursive self-improvement, and what the stakes are for the decisions being made right now.

This is the first release before the full book. The formal academic version — including rigorous mathematics, physical limits (Landauer, Bekenstein, Bremermann-Lloyd), and four falsifiability criteria — is available on ResearchGate.

Read the primer first. Then go deeper if you want the proof.
