The Roebuck Architecture: A Minimal-Assumption Computational Model of the Lazy Universe
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The Roebuck Architecture presents a unified theoretical framework that models the universe as a single, strategically lazy computational system. Built on eleven rigorously interconnected principles, the architecture explains a wide range of phenomena — from the sudden emergence of recursive symbolic language to emergent material hierarchies — with minimal assumptions and high internal consistency. The model generates specific, testable predictions and offers greater parsimony than existing simulation hypotheses. This preprint contains the full paper.
