Research Program

DAGI Project

Research on informational structure, higher-order dependence, and multiscale models across quantum systems and selected living-systems studies.

The DAGI Project develops and tests a research framework in which informational events, causal structure, and higher-order dependencies are treated as first-class objects of analysis. The work combines conceptual modeling with multiscale information decomposition and selected empirical validation studies.

Overview

What this project studies

The project asks whether complex phenomena can be described more clearly by combining two ideas:

  1. Informational events and records as a way of describing physical and observational structure.
  2. Higher-order information as a way of measuring what is genuinely collective rather than reducible to single variables or pairwise interactions.

Across different tracks, DAGI is used to study how structure appears across scales, how collective information can be decomposed, and how these tools behave in controlled quantum settings, simulation environments, and selected biological datasets.

Recent validation output related to higher-order structure in hardware benchmarks is now available on arXiv: arXiv:2603.20542.

Framework

Two closely related strands

DAGI is presented as an umbrella research program with two closely related strands: a foundational strand focused on informational events, records, branching, and observation, and a methodological strand focused on Möbius-based multiscale decomposition of lower- and higher-order informational structure.

Why the framing matters

The site distinguishes stronger and weaker claims clearly so foundational, methodological, validated, and exploratory work do not collapse into a single claim-cloud.

Core concepts

Orientation first, formal depth in the papers

Informational events

The project models systems in terms of events, records, and their relations, rather than treating observation as an external add-on.

Higher-order structure

Many systems cannot be understood from single variables or pairwise links alone. DAGI studies irreducible multi-part dependencies and collective organization.

Multiscale decomposition

A Möbius-based decomposition separates lower-order and higher-order informational contributions so genuinely collective structure can be studied explicitly.

Research tracks

Distinct strands with explicit labels

Each track is presented according to its role in the program, from foundational work to empirical validation and exploratory extensions.

FoundationalTrack 1

Quantum foundations

DAGI explores DAG-based descriptions of informational states, records, branching, decoherence, and quantum erasure to make measurement and observer-relative structure more explicit.

MethodologicalTrack 2

Multiscale information methods

A central technical strand develops Möbius-based decompositions of total correlation and related observables to isolate higher-order informational structure.

ValidationTrack 3

Empirical validation studies

The framework is tested on controlled quantum hardware experiments, code and simulation settings, and selected biological datasets, including living-systems network studies, to identify which signatures are robust and which remain data-limited.

ExploratoryTrack 4

Exploratory extensions

Some project tracks investigate more speculative questions, including emergent geometry, generalized record-rate ideas, and information-based descriptions of complex system organization.

Selected outputs

Representative papers and validation studies

A compact selection from the broader publication list, including validation work in both physical and living-systems settings. The full record is maintained on the DAGI Zenodo community.

Tools / Demos

Interactive tools are presented as supporting research interfaces rather than as the primary framing of the project.
