What must reality be before we decide what we want it to mean?
Investigation Zero begins before God, matter, time, consciousness, mathematics, or even the universe itself. It removes inherited assumptions one by one and asks what, if anything, must remain for reality to exist without collapsing into contradiction.
Moving from nothing, distinction, and relation through mathematics, information, time, matter, gravity, life, observation, consciousness, identity, morality, and artificial intelligence, C.J. Myers builds a disciplined investigation into the minimum structure reality may require.
This is not a defense of religion.
It is not an attack on science.
It is not a claim that consciousness has been solved.
Every step distinguishes established evidence from formal consequence, reasoned inference, and ontological interpretation. Competing explanations are given their strongest form, uncertainty remains visible, and no conclusion is allowed to become stronger merely because it is beautiful.
The result is a sweeping exploration of how a universe of relations can produce observers capable of representing themselves-and how reality may, through living intelligence, become aware of its own existence.
Investigation Zero is the foundational inquiry behind a larger movement examining awareness, intelligence, responsibility, and humanity's place within the systems it can no longer pretend merely to observe.
