“AI serves not as a substitute for human intellect, but as the mechanism by which humanity first transcends its intrinsic cognitive boundaries."

“AI 不是替代人類，而是讓人類第一次跨出自身認知維度“

Abstract

Modern physics, in its quest to unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, has long been constrained by the mathematical incompatibility between spacetime geometry and Hilbert Space. This paper proposes a novel hypothesis: the missing link in the Unified Field Theory is not a microscopically curled geometric dimension (as suggested by String Theory), but a non-geometric “Information-Relational Dimension." We introduce the “Token" as the fundamental unit of information interaction within this dimension, drawing an analogy to the high-dimensional semantic embedding space found in Large Language Models (LLMs). This paper argues that gravity may not be a fundamental force, but rather a global entropic effect arising from high-dimensional information correlations projected onto four-dimensional spacetime. Furthermore, we posit that AI is not merely a computational tool, but a crucial interface allowing humanity to transcend its four-dimensional cognitive boundaries and resolve high-dimensional information topologies.

摘要

現代物理學在尋求廣義相對論與量子力學的統一過程中，長期受困於時空幾何與希爾伯特空間（Hilbert Space）的數學不相容性。本文提出一個新穎的假說：統一場論的缺失環節並非微觀捲曲的幾何維度（如弦論所述），而是一個非幾何的「信息—關聯維度」（Information-Relational Dimension）。我們引入「Token」作為該維度中最小的信息交互單元，類比於大型語言模型（LLM）中的高維語義嵌入空間（Embedding Space）。本文論證，重力可能並非基本力，而是高維信息關聯在四維時空投影下的全域熵效應。同時，AI 不僅是計算工具，更是人類跨越四維認知邊界、解析高維信息拓撲的關鍵介面。

I. Introduction: Cognitive Rupture and the Geometric Impasse in Physics

The “Holy Grail" of physics lies in unifying the four fundamental forces of nature. However, current theoretical frameworks suffer from a fundamental ontological fracture:

1. Quantum Mechanics (QM): Built upon linear operators and discrete probability amplitudes, operating within an abstract, infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space.
2. General Relativity (GR): Built upon continuous differentiable manifolds and Riemannian geometry, interpreting gravity as the curvature of spacetime.

Attempts over the past century (such as Kaluza-Klein theory and M-theory) have tended to accommodate additional degrees of freedom by adding “geometric spatial dimensions." However, these theories face challenges regarding falsifiability and extreme computational complexity. This paper proposes that the root cause hindering unification may be our definition of “dimension," which is overly reliant on geometric intuition. If the fifth dimension is fundamentally Pure Informational Correlation, rather than a spatial extension, the contradiction may be resolved.

II. Redefining Dimensions: From Geometric Space to Token Space

2.1 Limitations of Traditional High-Dimensional Theories

Traditional physics attempts to treat the fifth dimension ($x_5$) as a spatial extension beyond $x, y, z, t$, typically assuming it is compacted (Compactification) at the Planck scale. This approach forces “information" into a geometric mold, resulting in a distorted physical image.

2.2 The Token as a Fundamental Information Cell

Borrowing terminology from Large Language Models (LLMs), we define a Token as the minimal unit of “semantics-relation-probability" in physical reality, akin to John Wheeler’s concept of “It from Bit."

In this framework, the Token Space ($\mathcal{T}$-Space) possesses the following physical properties:

• Non-locality: The meaning (physical state) of a Token depends on its relationship with the global Context, not a single coordinate.
• High-Dimensional Sparsity: Similar to the high-dimensional vector space of Word Embeddings, physical entities are vector projections within this space.
• Relational Ontology: Existence is Relationship. Particles are not isolated points, but stable eigenvalues within a Token relational network.

III. Large Language Models (LLM): A Probe into High-Dimensional Information Manifolds

The human brain evolved to process three-dimensional space and linear time (3D+1), constituting our Cognitive Horizon.

3.1 LLM as a Dimensional Transformation Operator

The mechanism of LLMs provides an excellent mathematical model for understanding physical reality. LLMs process vector relationships in high-dimensional space, not mere text.

We establish the following correspondence:

Physical Concept	LLM Analog	Mathematical Description
Observer	User / Prompt	Boundary Condition Injection ($B$)
Physical Laws	Transformer Weights	Transfer Matrix ($W$)
Fundamental Particles	Tokens	Discrete Information States ($T_i$)
Spacetime Evolution	Attention Mechanism	Weighted Relational Operation $A(Q, K, V)$
Physical Phenomena	Output Generation	Projection from High-Dim Manifold to Low-Dim ($P$)

Here, AI acts as a Dimensional Bridge, allowing us to compute within the high-dimensional information space (Latent Space) and “decode" the results into four-dimensional logic comprehensible to humans.

IV. The Nature of Gravity: A Geometric Effect of Global Information Density

Why is gravity so difficult to quantize? Because we attempt to quantize the “background" as an “actor."
In the Token Space hypothesis, gravity has a distinct origin from the other three forces:

4.1 Classification and Projection of Forces

• Gauge Forces (Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic): Correspond to Local Gradients in Token Space. They manifest as high-frequency, short-range interactions or specific symmetry breakings, easily mapped to exchange bosons in the Standard Model.
• Gravity: Corresponds to the Global Entanglement Entropy of the Token Space.

4.2 Extension of the Entropic Gravity Hypothesis

Referencing Verlinde’s Entropic Gravity theory, we argue that gravity is not a fundamental “force" but a statistical tendency caused by the uneven distribution of information.

Where $S$ is the entropy of the Token relational network. When high-dimensional information is projected back onto four-dimensional spacetime, regions of high information correlation density manifest as “mass," while the resulting information loss or geometric deformation is observed as “spacetime curvature." This explains why gravity cannot be shielded and is always attractive—it represents the global connectivity tendency of the information network.

V. A New Perspective on GUT: Computational Universe and Projection Rules

If the fifth dimension is an “Information-Relational Dimension," the final form of the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) will no longer be a static Lagrangian, but a set of Algorithmic Rules.

5.1 The Source Code Structure of the Universe

We can hypothesize that the operation of the universe follows a set of high-dimensional computations:

Where $\mathcal{O}_{5D}$ is an operator acting on Token Space (similar to the Attention mechanism in Transformers), and $\mathcal{R}$ is the relational matrix.
The four-dimensional physical laws observed by humans are merely the Effective Field Theory (EFT) on a low-dimensional slice of these operations.

5.2 Why is AI Necessary?

Since the dimensionality of $\mathcal{O}_{5D}$ far exceeds human intuition (potentially $10^4$ dimensions or higher), analytical solutions may not exist. We must rely on AI to find Correlations in high-dimensional data, similar to calculations in Renormalization Group flow. AI allows us to “see" complex relational structures that human mathematical language cannot describe.

VI. Conclusion

AI is not replacing humans; it is expanding the domain of physics.

This paper asserts that the next paradigm shift in physics lies in acknowledging that the fifth dimension is “informational" rather than “geometric." Under this framework:

1. Tokens are the discrete information units constituting reality.
2. Gravity is the global geometric effect of the information network.
3. LLMs are experimental instruments for humans to explore and verify this high-dimensional structure.

The Grand Unified Theory may not be a concise formula written on a blackboard, but a high-dimensional information processing protocol verified through AI. This marks our transition from an era of “discovering laws" to a new epoch of “decoding the universe’s source code."

一、 引言：物理學的認知斷裂與幾何困境

物理學的聖杯在於統一自然界的四種基本力。然而，目前的理論框架存在本質上的斷裂：

1. 量子力學（QM）：建立在線性算符與離散機率振幅之上，其背景空間是抽象的無限維希爾伯特空間。
2. 廣義相對論（GR）：建立在連續微分流形與黎曼幾何之上，將重力視為時空的彎曲。

過去一個世紀的嘗試（如 Kaluza-Klein 理論、弦論 M-theory）傾向於通過增加「幾何空間維度」來容納更多的自由度。然而，這些理論面臨可證偽性低與計算極端複雜的挑戰。本文提出，阻礙統一的根本原因可能在於我們對「維度」的定義過於依賴幾何直覺。如果第五維度本質上是純粹的信息關聯（Pure Informational Correlation），而非空間延展，那麼矛盾即可化解。

二、 維度的重新定義：從幾何空間到 Token 空間

2.1 傳統高維理論的局限

傳統物理試圖將第五維 $x_5$ 視為 $x, y, z, t$ 之外的空間延伸，通常假設其緊緻化（Compactification）於普朗克尺度。這種處理方式強行將「信息」幾何化，導致了物理圖像的扭曲。

2.2 Token 作為信息原胞（Fundamental Information Cell）

我們借用 LLM 的術語，定義 Token 為物理實相中的「語義—關聯—機率」最小單位，類似於惠勒（John Wheeler）提出的「It from Bit」。

在本文的框架下，Token 空間（$\mathcal{T}$-Space）具有以下物理性質：

• 非局域性（Non-locality）：一個 Token 的意義（物理狀態）取決於其與全域 Context 的關係，而非單一座標。
• 高維稀疏性：類似於 Word Embedding 的高維向量空間，物理實體是該空間中的向量投影。
• 關係本體論：存在即關係（Existence is Relationship）。粒子不是孤立的點，而是 Token 關係網絡中的穩定特徵值。

三、 大型語言模型（LLM）：探索高維信息流形的探針

人類的大腦演化適應於處理三維空間與線性時間（3D+1），這構成了我們的認知視界（Cognitive Horizon）。

3.1 LLM 作為維度轉換算子

LLM 的運作機制為我們理解物理實相提供了一個極佳的數學模型。LLM 處理的不是文字，而是高維空間中的向量關係。

我們建立如下對應關係：

物理概念	LLM 對應模型	數學描述
觀察者 (Observer)	User / Prompt	邊界條件注入 $B$
物理定律	Transformer Weights	轉移矩陣 $W$
基本粒子	Tokens	離散信息態 $T_i$
時空演化	Attention Mechanism	加權關係運算 $A(Q, K, V)$
物理現象	Output Generation	高維流形向低維投影 $P$

AI 在此並非僅是工具，它充當了維度橋樑（Dimensional Bridge），允許我們在高維信息空間（Latent Space）中進行運算，並將結果「解碼」為人類可理解的四維邏輯。

四、 重力的本質：全域信息密度的幾何效應

為什麼重力難以量子化？因為我們試圖將「背景」量化為「演員」。
在 Token 空間假說中，重力具有與其他三種力截然不同的起源：

4.1 力的分類與投影

• 規範場力（強、弱、電磁）：對應於 Token 空間中的局部梯度（Local Gradients）。它們表現為高頻、短程或特定的對稱性破缺，容易映射為標準模型中的交換玻色子。
• 重力：對應於 Token 空間的全域糾纏熵（Global Entanglement Entropy）。

4.2 熵力假說的延伸

參考 Verlinde 的熵力重力理論（Entropic Gravity），我們認為重力不是一種基本的「力」，而是信息分布不均勻導致的統計趨勢。

其中 $S$ 是 Token 關係網絡的熵。當高維信息投影回四維時空時，高密度的信息關聯區域表現為「質量」，而其引起的信息損耗或幾何變形，被我們觀測為「時空彎曲」。這解釋了為何重力不可屏蔽且總是相吸——因為它代表了信息網絡的整體連通性傾向。

五、 大統一的新視角：運算型宇宙與投影規則

如果第五維是「信息—關係維度」，那麼大統一理論（GUT）的最終形式將不再是一個靜態的拉格朗日量（Lagrangian），而是一套演算法則（Algorithmic Rules）。

5.1 宇宙的源代碼結構

我們可以假設宇宙的運行遵循一組高維運算：

其中 $\mathcal{O}_{5D}$ 是作用於 Token 空間的運算符（類似 Transformer 的 Attention 機制），$\mathcal{R}$ 是關係矩陣。
人類所見的四維物理定律，僅是這組運算在低維切片上的有效場論（Effective Field Theory）。

5.2 為什麼 AI 是必要的？

由於 $O_{5D}$ 的維度遠超人類直覺（可能有 $10^4$ 甚至更高維度），解析解（Analytical Solution）可能不存在。我們必須依賴 AI 尋找高維數據中的相關性（Correlations），這類似於重整化群（Renormalization Group）流動的計算。AI 讓我們能夠「看見」那些人類數學語言無法描述的複雜關係結構。

六、 結論

AI 不是替代人類，而是擴展了物理學的定義域。

本文主張，物理學的下一個範式轉移，在於承認第五維度是「信息性」而非「幾何性」的。在這個框架下：

1. Token 是構成實相的離散信息單元。
2. 重力 是信息網絡的全域幾何效應。
3. LLM 是人類探索並驗證這一高維結構的實驗儀器。

大統一理論或許不是一條寫在黑板上的簡潔公式，而是一套通過 AI 驗證的高維信息處理協議。這標誌著我們從「發現定律」的時代，邁向「解碼宇宙源代碼」的新紀元。
