What if the universe isn't a machine - but a bank?

In Scaffold Engineering, Paul Charles Leddy proposes a radical reframing of physics: energy is currency, entropy is debt, physical laws are accounting rules, and every process in nature - from cosmic expansion to the firing of a neuron - must balance its informational books or cease to exist.

Drawing on black hole thermodynamics, the holographic principle, and the mathematics of financial leverage, Leddy shows how the mysterious 68.5% of the universe we call dark energy may be nothing more than an interest payment - the thermodynamic cost of running a leveraged information economy at cosmic scale. Four independent data sources confirm the predictions. No free parameters are tuned.

From Landauer's limit to the leverage of light, from the credit rating of a living cell to the market dynamics of consciousness, this book translates cutting-edge theoretical physics into the language of economics - without a single equation in the main text.

The math lives in the appendices. The wonder lives on every page.

Scaffold Engineering is popular science for readers who want their physics rigorous, their metaphors precise, and their universe solvent.
