Joanna Accordi

In The Perceptory Force, Joanna Accordi advances a bold structural theory: that beneath gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear forces lies a single deeper principle, the Perceptory Force. From a single premise, that for nothingness to exist it must be perceived, the book derives ten interlocking laws that carry one line of reasoning across the full hierarchy of nature: from the quantum scale and the four fundamental forces, through the structure of spacetime and the large-scale structure of the universe, to the role of the observer within it.
The book commits to falsifiable predictions: a signature in particle-antiparticle annihilation, the restoration of parity at high energy, a three-fold regularity in the large-scale structure of the universe. Accordi's work states plainly what it establishes, what it predicts, and what it leaves for the mathematics to confirm. Along the way her work recasts the concepts physics is built on: gravity, as the entanglement of perceptory networks; space, as the gradient of asymmetry; time, as perception itself; and the observer, no longer outside the universe but woven into what it observes.
A unifying framework. A single principle beneath gravity and the quantum forces, offered to physicists and mathematicians, to be tested and finished.
