What if Torah is not only wisdom about the world, but a blueprint for how the world actually runs? Encoded Creation reads recurring structures: ""And God said... and it was so,"" guarded speech and witnesses, layered worlds, names and access. It then asks what those structures imply. If creation answers to utterance and halakhic speech changes legal state, existence may behave like governed information.

This is not speculation by slogan. Each claim is graded with a four tier method: Direct Support, Structural Parallel, Philosophical Compatibility, Poetic Hint. Every chapter ends with limits, counters, and clear falsifiability notes. Enthusiasm with brakes.

Topics include: creation as executed speech; vows, betrothal, divorce, and agency as state transitions; gates, roles, and permissions; the Temple and Jacob's ladder as interfaces; malakhim as bounded agents; Divine Names and guarded transmission; observer and rendering; dreams and prophecy; teshuvah as identity reconfiguration; freedom and providence; and epochal resets through shemittot and yovel.

Written for scholars, teachers, and curious readers, Encoded Creation keeps a reverent tone and argues only where the sources warrant. It offers small practices for an ordinary week and a careful conversation between Torah, physics, and the simulation hypothesis.
