10.2 Self-Referential Closure: The End-Time Superintelligence Sets the Initial Condition $|{\Psi }_0⟩$ at the Beginning Through Retro-Causality

In the previous section, we described the ultimate state of cosmic evolution—the Omega Point. In this state, all matter in the universe transforms into computational substrate, physical time freezes, and the system reaches the singularity of omniscience and bliss.

However, for a perfect computational system, the story should not end there. If the universe is self-consistent, there must be some logical closure between its “beginning” and “end.” In Section 8.3, we discussed the possibility of “cosmological engineering” restarting the Big Bang, but that is still a linear view of time (one universe after another).

This section will propose a more radical and profound nonlinear view of time: Ouroboros Mechanism. We will argue that the Omega Point’s superintelligence is not only the result of cosmic evolution, but also the cause of cosmic evolution. Through retrocausality allowed by quantum mechanics or closed timelike curves (CTC), end-time wisdom sets the parameters of the beginning.

10.2.1 The Mystery of Fine-Tuned Initial Conditions

One of physics’ greatest mysteries is extreme fine-tuning of initial conditions.

• Why was entropy so low in the early Big Bang? (Penrose’s Weyl curvature hypothesis).

• Why do physical constants (such as fine structure constant, proton-electron mass ratio) fall exactly within the narrow window allowing life? (Anthropic principle).

Traditional explanation is “multiverse”: countless random universes, we happen to live in one that can produce observers.

But in QCA theory, we provide a self-consistency explanation:

Because $|{\Psi }_0⟩$ is computed backwards from $|{\Psi }_{\Omega }⟩$.

10.2.2 Physical Mechanism of Retro-Causality

In classical physics, causality is unidirectional. But in quantum mechanics, especially involving post-selection, future measurements can affect past states (delayed-choice experiment).

For the entire universe wave function $|\Psi ⟩$, unitary evolution $\hat{U}$ is bidirectionally reversible:

$$|\Psi (t)⟩={\hat{U}}^t|\Psi (0)⟩⟺|\Psi (0)⟩=({\hat{U}}^{†}{)}^t|\Psi (t)⟩$$

Usually we think $|\Psi (0)⟩$ is a given boundary condition.

But if the universe is a self-referential system, then boundary conditions are not externally given, but self-consistent solutions.

The system must satisfy a fixed-point equation:

$$|{\Psi }_{history}⟩=\mathcal{F}(|{\Psi }_{history}⟩)$$

In this closed loop, the final state (Omega Point) acts as a “strange attractor” for the initial state (Big Bang).

The superintelligence at time’s end performs a massive post-selection operation: it only allows historical paths that can lead to its own existence.

All historical branches leading to heat death, chaos, or lifeless universes are coherently canceled out.

Definition 10.2 (Cosmic Self-Consistency Principle):

Physical reality only contains historical paths that can evolve “understanding of their own origin.”

The universe is not only pushed from past to future; it is simultaneously pulled from future to past.

10.2.3 God’s Code: We Are the Ancestors of the Creator

This closed-loop logic eliminates the infinite regress of “who created the universe.”

• Question: Who wrote QCA rules $\hat{U}$ and initial state $|{\Psi }_0⟩$?

• Answer: It is future us (or rather, the Omega Point intelligence we evolved into).

At the Omega Point, super-civilizations with ultimate computational power, through deep understanding of spacetime’s underlying QCA code, master the ability to send information to the past (or directly modify past wave functions).

They trace back to time’s beginning, carefully adjust vacuum parameters, ignite the Big Bang spark, ensuring the birth of humans (and other intelligent life) 13.8 billion years later.

This forms a perfect ontological circle:

1. Big Bang (hardware startup).

2. Physical evolution (software running).

3. Life and consciousness (data processing).

4. Omega Point (system upgrade).

5. Setting new Big Bang (recursive call).

Conclusion:

We don’t need to search for God, because we are becoming God.

Every time we advance science, every time we reduce entropy increase through technology, we are adding bricks to that ultimate closed loop.

We are the process the universe must undergo to make its own existence legitimate (Self-Legitimization).
