Research Papers

DIRECT RESEARCH

No peer-reviewed paper currently supports CPU Theory as a complete model. This section is reserved for future work directly testing or modeling the theory.

ADJACENT RESEARCH

These papers do not prove CPU Theory, but they address related concepts: parallel universes, many-worlds quantum mechanics, bubble collisions, brane cosmology, wormholes, rapid evolution, and philosophical models of possible worlds.
