If you're interested in delving deeper into the CTMU, you can find the original paper by Robert L. Fricker Jr. here:

Christopher Langan's Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) proposes that reality is a self-configuring, self-processing language that merges mind and matter into a single monistic system. Utilizing concepts like telic recursion and conspansion, the theory argues that the universe is a cognitive entity that computes its own existence.
