Abstract
This paper presents the FRAME model (Frequency of Real-Time Actualisation via Metastable Entropy), an informational interpretation of the speed of light as the universal refresh rate of classical reality. Developed within the Feldt–Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) framework, FRAME proposes that spacetime arises through discrete cycles of collapse in which quantum potential is rendered into classical structure. The model interprets c not only as a propagation constant but as the upper limit of collapse frequency that defines the tempo of spacetime actualisation. Each act of observation represents a partial resolution of quantum uncertainty, constrained by entropy and coherence thresholds. By expressing c as Δx / τ₍collapse₎, FRAME links light, information, and perception within a single operational cadence. The paper explores how metastable entropy maintains temporary coherence, allowing matter and geometry to stabilise as a synchronised informational process. Comparative analysis with Gheorghe’s Event-Driven First Passage Model (EPFPM) identifies parallel structures connecting informational decay, coherence limits, and quantum-to-classical transitions. This correspondence suggests empirical pathways for testing collapse viability through interferometric, optical, and coherence-based experiments. FRAME thus extends the F-HUB ontology from theoretical to measurable domains, interpreting reality as a dynamic field of continuous informational rendering where light is the medium, entropy the driver, and observation the sustaining mechanism.

Title
Death of Reality: The Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) Theory, Part Three: Through the Quantum-to-Classical Passage, De-Collapse and the Return to Light
Description
Death of Reality presents the final movement of the F-HUB Theory, completing the informational cycle initiated in Birth and Life. It extends the F-HUB framework to describe the phenomenon of de-collapse: the dissolution of coherent structure when observation ceases and informational stability fails. Within this formulation, reality is not destroyed but gradually unravels as organised light returns to the quantum potential. Building on Frequency of Real-Time Actualisation via Metastable Entropy (FRAME) and IEG, this paper models death as a recursive reversal of collapse governed by exponential decay laws for mass, coherence, curvature, and entropy. These processes are defined by the observer-interface coupling (Λₒ), whose viability determines whether quantum information remains classically resolved. When Λₒ < 1, coherence fails and form returns to potential. A worked example demonstrates how the dimensionless parameter εₒ (expressing coherence, entropy gradient, and decoherence resistance) could be estimated experimentally in optical or biological systems.

Birth of Spacetime: The Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) Theory, Part One - A Universal Informational Framework for Mass, Gravity and Entropy
Description
For over a century, physics has been divided between two dominant theories: General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. While both are highly successful, they remain fundamentally disconnected. To address this, the Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) introduces a new paradigm. Specifically, it proposes that mass, gravity, and spacetime are not fundamental properties, but instead emerge from structured quantum information. This model draws upon the Holographic Principle, black hole thermodynamics, and quantum information theory. As a result, F-HUB offers a cohesive framework in which mass arises from quantum energy stabilised by information, and gravity becomes an entropic effect—rather than a fundamental force. Moreover, the master equation derived from this model is both dimensionally consistent and thermodynamically grounded. Crucially, it is also testable, offering new experimental pathways that challenge the need for dark matter and dark energy.

Life of the Cosmos: The Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) Theory, Part Two -Observation, Information, and the Expanding Universe
Description
Life of the Cosmos extends the Feldt-Higgs Universal Bridge (F-HUB) framework by proposing that the accelerating expansion of the universe arises from the cumulative impact of conscious observation. Life advances the hypothesis that observation itself stabilises reality and drives cosmological growth. Each act of conscious measurement collapses quantum wavefunctions and irreversibly encodes information into spacetime, requiring expansion to accommodate the increasing informational load. The model suggests that spacetime behaves more classically in regions of high observational density and more quantum-like in low-observation zones. It provides testable predictions, including redshift anomalies linked to under-observed regions and prolonged coherence in deep space. The optimised Life Equation demonstrates improved empirical alignment, achieving a reduced χ² of 0.62 compared to 1.03 for ΛCDM. This framework challenges prevailing interpretations of dark energy and positions consciousness as a fundamental driver of physical reality.
