Peruse at your own peril.

Long-form ideas I’m working through on science and faith. None of it’s about business.

01 Hypothesis

Experiential Expansion Hypothesis

JD Bock

The Experiential Expansion Hypothesis, or EEH, is my attempt to answer one question. Is conscious, meaningful experience more than a byproduct of the universe?

I’m asking whether experience itself helps shape the structure of reality. Could spacetime actually unfold in response to how we take part in it, through relationship, information, and intention? It pulls from physics, information theory, philosophy of mind, and biblical theology.

To be clear, it’s still a working model. I wrote it to open new questions and get people from different fields digging into them together.

02 Thesis

Information-Energy Relational Ontology

JD Bock

In this thesis I’m making the case that reality’s relational all the way down. What we see as matter and energy comes out of deeper patterns of structure and change.

I trace the line from physical laws to information and dynamics. Where I land is that relationships themselves are the deepest layer of reality.

It draws on physics and philosophy to ask two questions at once. How does the universe behave, and what’s it made of at its core?

Experiential Expansion Hypothesis

JD Bock - July 21, 2025

The Experiential Expansion Hypothesis, or EEH, is my attempt to explore whether conscious, meaningful experience may be more than a byproduct of the universe.


I’m asking whether experience itself may be structurally relevant to reality, and whether spacetime may unfold in response to relational, information-rich, intentional participation. This framework sits at the intersection of physics, information theory, philosophy of mind, and biblical theology.


I do not present it as a finished scientific theory, but as a serious conceptual model designed to open new questions and invite deeper interdisciplinary work.

Information–Energy Relational Ontology

JD Bock - March 19, 2026

This thesis explores the idea that reality is fundamentally relational, rather than made of isolated things. It argues that what we observe as matter and energy are expressions of deeper patterns of structure and change.

By tracing the progression from physical laws to information and dynamics, it proposes that relationships themselves form the most fundamental layer of reality.

This framework sits at the intersection of physics and philosophy, aiming to explain not just how the universe behaves, but what it is at its core.
