Occam’s Ruler

Physics has known for decades. The assumptions are borrowed. The infinities are papered over. The missing mass is invented. The extra dimensions are unfalsifiable. The virtual particles are mathematical ghosts promoted to physical fact.
And the profession said nothing. Published anyway. Collected the prizes. This is not ignorance. Such would be forgivable.
These are indulgences — sins pre-paid, anomalies pre-forgiven, contradictions absorbed into the framework before any outsider could name them.
The Church sold forgiveness for money. Physics sells dark matter for tenure. The reformation does not ask permission.
Occam’s Ruler is the indictment and the replacement. Time is not fundamental — it is an artefact of entropic descent. Forces are not forces — they are geometry. Particles are not objects — they are persistent informational structures in a non-orientable block universe. One by one, the load-bearing fictions are named, tried, and discharged.
What replaces them is BEIPE: a framework built from a single primitive — information — from which quantum behaviour, gravity, and cosmology emerge without remainder. No dark scaffolding. No fudge. No entities beyond necessity.
The argument is on every page. The physics is in the appendix.
