Exploring a groundbreaking form of Protophysics, the book reveals a deeper reality that transcends traditional physics. It presents a philosophical framework that connects diverse experiences, such as the structure of the megaverse, cognition, emotion, and the universality of love, into a cohesive understanding. Central to this philosophy is biperspectivism, which highlights the interplay between energy and information as fundamental to both the megaverse and human consciousness. This innovative approach suggests that a new physics naturally leads to a new metaphysics.

The present collection of three essays, while originally intended for different contexts, collectively emphasizes the crucial role of ICONICITY in understanding the evolution of LANGUAGE and INFORMATION. This thesis challenges mainstream linguistic theories, positing ICONICITY as foundational for a holistic view of communication systems and the universe. It suggests that conventional language is deeply rooted in various forms of iconic imagination, implying that very few words are entirely arbitrary in their origins.
