...the CTMU describes reality as a Self-Configuring Self-Processing Language or SCSPL, a reflexive intrinsic language characterized not only by self-reference and recursive self-definition, but full self-configuration and selfexecution (reflexive read-write functionality). CTMU

The CTMU describes reality in such a way that a more basic or generic process is impossible to develop, at least given the known laws of physics.

I should add that without reference to the text's main body, the Abstract portion of the CTMU may be impossible to decipher and that Langan's writing is very difficult to quote directly without also generating a wall of text. The above quote is about as simple as the CTMU gets. Langan uses neologisms, yet these are always clearly defined in the text and accord to generic principles as outlined in the CTMU text.

A cursory search for the CTMU on Googlelag returns a bunch of self-righteous science "fan boys" attacking the CTMU, yet not a single one makes any formal arguments against the CTMU. Without their own "theory of reality" (basis) to argue from, CTMU critics seem only capable of outright naysaying, while promoting themselves or their favorite celebrity scientists as the only possible solution to scientific inquiries.

This hurts my brain just looking at it, so it must be good. I have to email it to myself. Thanks for posting it !

Langan wrote "An Introduction to the CTMU" paper in 1998: https://cdn.website-editor.net/743d4a58f53348a69dd2535a810a7b68/files/uploaded/CL.pdf

The Introduction isn't Langan's best writing by my estimation, but it does offer a simpler description of the CTMUs basic concepts.

John Wheeler's "Beyond the Black Hole" essay/speech is a good study companion or reference for the CTMU, particularly for referencing the problems of Physics outlined by Wheeler which the CTMU addresses. Wheeler's text may be as or more tedious to read than the CTMU itself.
