Amaterasu Hypothesis

A cosmopsychist model proposing that the universe, or our local cosmic domain, is pervaded by a singular, foundational consciousness or awareness—analogous to the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu, whose light reveals the world. This hypothesis suggests that what we call "physical reality" is the manifest appearance produced by this cosmic consciousness interacting with itself. The laws of physics are the habits of its thought; individual conscious beings (like humans) are not separate, but localized "bright spots" or focal points of this same light, temporarily individuated through biological complexity, like rays of the same sun.

Example: According to the Amaterasu Hypothesis, when you perceive the color red, you are not a brain decoding photons. You are a localized expression of the cosmic consciousness experiencing itself as the qualia of redness through the instrument of a visual cortex. The sunrise is not just a nuclear reaction; it is Amaterasu (the universal consciousness) becoming manifest to itself in a spectacular display. Science is the process by which one spark of this consciousness (a scientist) attempts to systematically understand the mind of the whole.

Ginnungagap Hypothesis

The proposition that the true primordial state of existence is not a void of nothingness, but a dynamic, potent "gap" of unresolved potential—a superposition of all possible symmetries and states (from Norse mythology's "yawning void"). In this model, the Big Bang is not the beginning of everything, but the breaking of symmetry within Ginnungagap when its inherent tensions (between the primordial fire of Muspelheim and ice of Niflheim) catalyze a localization. The universe is thus a localized crystallization of order, while most of Ginnungagap remains in its primordial, pre-causal state, implying that "nothingness" is actually the most information-rich, pregnant state of all.

Example: Think of Ginnungagap as a completely white, featureless canvas that is not empty, but contains every possible color and image in a state of perfect superposition and interference. Our universe is the moment one specific image (e.g., a landscape) is "chosen" and becomes fixed, visible, and historical. But the rest of the canvas remains white, containing all other possible universes as unresolved potential. In this view, the quantum vacuum isn't empty; it's the faint, quantum "hum" of the wider Ginnungagap pressing in against our localized reality. Ginnungagap Hypothesis.

Yggdrasil Hypothesis

A model of the multiverse or cosmic structure as a fractal, branching, living system—the World Tree. It posits that reality is structured as a network of interconnected "realms" (branches) growing from a common source (roots), with different physical laws or dimensional properties in different regions (Asgard, Midgard, Helheim, etc.). The "tree" is sustained by fundamental processes: the Well of Urd (quantum vacuum/zero-point energy), the Norns (algorithms of evolution and complexity), and the serpent Nidhogg (entropy/decay at the roots). It views cosmic evolution as arboreal growth, with new branches (universes, timelines) sprouting from quantum decisions or inflationary bubbles.

Example: Imagine the Yggdrasil Hypothesis visualized as a cosmic MRI. Our entire universe is one "leaf" on a branch called Midgard. The stem of that branch is our inflation bubble. Other leaves on nearby branches are parallel universes with slightly different constants. Deeper in the tree, other major branches host radically different physics (an Asgard-branch with stronger nuclear force, a Helheim-branch dominated by dark matter). The trunk is the shared origin, the roots tap into the chaotic pre-physical substrate, and the whole tree is "alive"—meaning it grows, adapts, and has a lifecycle.

Protogenoi Hypothesis

The proposal that the first entities to emerge from the primordial chaos in creation myths (the Greek Protogenoi like Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros) represent the first discrete physical phenomena to "crystalize" out of the singularity. Chaos is the quantum foam/initial singularity; Gaia is the emergence of spacetime geometry; Tartarus is the asymmetry that creates gravity wells/black holes; Eros is the fundamental attractive force (gravity/weak force) that allows binding. This hypothesis reads myth as a topological sequence of cosmic phase transitions, where each "primordial being" is a new order parameter or field condensing in the early universe.

Example: In the first 10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang, the Protogenoi Hypothesis suggests the following "births": Chaos reigns (the Planck epoch, no distinct physics). Then Gaia "solidifies" (spacetime gains metric structure). Tartarus "sinks" below (gravitational singularities/negative energy densities separate). Eros "awakens" (forces differentiate and allow attraction). The myth isn't a story; it's a cosmological timeline encoded in narrative form, with each Protogenoi representing a critical threshold in the cooling universe's loss of symmetry. Protogenoi Hypothesis.

Twelve Olympians Hypothesis

A speculative framework positing that the major forces, constants, and phenomena of nature correspond to twelve fundamental, interactive "archetypal principles," modeled after the Greek Olympian gods. Each "Olympian" represents a core aspect of cosmic order: e.g., Zeus (electromagnetism/lightning), Hera (binding nuclear forces/marriage), Poseidon (quantum field fluctuations/sea), Hades (gravity/entropy/the underworld of collapsed states), Athena (information structure/wisdom), Ares (entropic decay/conflict). The hypothesis suggests the universe operates through the continuous, often contentious, interactions of these twelve irreducible principles, and that their mythological relationships (affairs, wars, alliances) allegorize physical interactions (force couplings, symmetry breaks).

Example: Particle physics becomes a divine soap opera. A Zeus-photon (flashy, pervasive) interacts with an Aphrodite-quark (charm quark, binding through "attraction"). Their coupling, mediated by a Hermes-boson (force carrier), produces new particles in an event that mirrors a mythological tryst. The Twelve Olympians Hypothesis argues that the ancient Greeks weren't personifying nature; they were intuiting a pantheistic physics where personality is property, and the universe's drama is literally written in its laws.

Trimurti Hypothesis

A cosmological model mapping the Hindu trinity of Brahma (creation), Vishnu (preservation), and Shiva (destruction) onto the fundamental dynamics of the universe. It proposes that these are not deities but fundamental meta-laws: Brahma is the principle of symmetry breaking and inflationary expansion; Vishnu is the principle of stable structure formation (gravity, nuclear forces) and homeostasis; Shiva is the principle of entropy, quantum decoherence, and phase transitions. The universe is seen as a cyclic or simultaneous expression of all three, with local regions emphasizing one "aspect" (e.g., a supernova is Shiva-dominant, a stable star Vishnu-dominant, a quantum fluctuation Brahma-dominant). It suggests a universe that creates, sustains, and destroys itself at every scale.

Example: In a video game simulating universe-creation, you'd have three core sliders: Brahma-Gain (inflation rate, new particle generation), Vishnu-Stasis (force strength, structure preservation), and Shiva-Loss (entropy increase, decay rate). The Trimurti Hypothesis says our universe's specific "settings" for these three meta-parameters are what produce galaxies, life, and black holes. A black hole isn't just destruction; it's a Shiva event that may fuel Brahma events (white holes/ new universes) elsewhere, with Vishnu maintaining the balance of the multiversal cycle.
