Experimental Evaluation and Testing of the Computed Universe Model: A Review and Roadmap for Empirical Validation

<p dir="ltr">This paper presents a rigorous evaluation of the Computed Universe (CU) model against the highest standards of scientific recognition, including criteria aligned with the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. It employs award-relevant assessment frameworks to systematically review the CU model’s:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><b>Originality</b>: Proposes a generative substrate based on voxel-level causal updates within a discrete spacetime geometry.</li><li><b>Explanatory Scope</b>: Derives all foundational laws of physics—including E = mc^2, E = hbar.f, E = p^3/c, gravitational curvature, and Einstein’s field equations—from a unified, mechanistic basis.</li><li><b>Predictive Power</b>: Introduces novel, testable predictions including causal cutoff thresholds and gravitational update arrival effects.</li><li><b>Unification</b>: Resolves the long-standing conceptual divide between quantum mechanics and general relativity.</li><li><b>Clarity and Simplicity</b>: Replaces abstract field-theoretic constructs with physically grounded, surface-based causal update propagation.</li><li><b>Empirical Anchoring</b>: Aligns Planck-normalized identities directly with observed physical constants and measurable constraints.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">The evaluation highlights specific domains where the CU model not only aligns with current observations but also surpasses existing frameworks in explanatory depth and falsifiability. It includes a comparative analysis matrix and formulates a structured recommendation for institutional recognition, presenting the CU model as a viable candidate for a General Theory of Reality.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">This work provides a roadmap for simulation, empirical testing, and collaborative validation, establishing a foundation for strategic dissemination and nomination within the global physics community.</p>
