Abstract

Framing Infinity extends the framework of Intelligence Frame Theory (IFT): A Unified Model of Evolving Intelligence. Building on its core tenets—information transfer, competition & collaboration, finding limits, and Eureka—this work applies them to provocative contexts, including modular entropy collapse, recursive AI self-awareness, and the "empty set" as a birth-state of new intelligence. Integrating concepts from systems philosophy, thermodynamics, and symbolic computation, this framework does not purport to offer definitive claims, but rather to articulate a heuristic model for examining liminal and underexplored dimensions of intelligence. The paper investigates how frame-based intelligence might emerge, recurse, or self-modulate across diverse physical and conceptual substrates—from stellar primordial beginnings to quantum-scale recursion across the universe—positioning Intelligent Frame Theory as a speculative scaffold for interdisciplinary inquiry into the evolution of intelligence across time, embodiment, and abstraction.
