“The world consists of facts, not things.” — Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Russell envisioned the world as constructed from “logical atoms”—basic facts combined into complex truths. Informational Projection Theory (IPT) brings this concept into the 21st century, replacing “atoms” with 0/1 informational bits, organized across an evolving graph.
Russell’s emphasis on structure over unknowable “substance” directly parallels IPT’s rejection of matter as a base layer. In IPT, particles, mass, and forces are emergent from entanglement and constraint structures.
In Principia Mathematica, Russell attempted to reduce all mathematics to logic. IPT echoes this by building the laws of physics from rule-based updates, parity constraints, and graph topology.
Russell claimed we only know entities through their relations. IPT makes this literal: everything observable is a projection from entangled, constrained bits.
Where Russell’s ideas were once philosophical, IPT is operational. It reinterprets quantum behavior, gravity, and spacetime as emergent from structured information.
Had Bertrand Russell lived in the age of quantum computing, he might have seen Informational Projection Theory as the direct successor to his worldview.
“IPT is not a departure from Russell—it is his philosophy, unfolded through the structure of reality itself.”
