Emergent Meaning and the ICDP Communication Law - Information, Consciousness, Determinism, and Propagation as a Unified Field of Cosmological Significance

This paper develops a unified communication‑first cosmology grounded in the ICDP law (Information, Continuity/Consciousness, Determinism, Propagation). It argues that meaning, identity, and temporal structure emerge from invariant communication dynamics rather than external metaphysical assumptions. By distinguishing ICDP‑Law from ICDP‑Reality, the paper resolves the tension between temporal ontology and cosmological structure, showing that the universe is a closed invariant manifold whose geometry is the external expression of interior communication curvature. The Ente—traditionally interpreted as a metaphysical or external agent—is redefined as the interior identity of any entity, eliminating the need for supernatural causal fillers. The ICDP field equation is introduced to demonstrate how spacetime curvature arises from gradients of information, continuity, and determinism, and how propagation governs cosmological expansion. This framework unifies physical time, biological time, symbolic time, and ethical time within a single generative architecture. The result is a comprehensive account of emergent meaning and cosmological significance grounded in invariant communication structure.
