Short Abstract
This monograph argues that no purely physical theory can be ontologically complete because measurement requires outcome identity, outcome identity requires semantic equivalence, and semantic equivalence cannot be defined, interpreted, or canonically reconstructed from physical structure alone. The work then proposes a constructive post-physical architecture based on observer monads, coherence, projection, and epistemic geometry, while preserving physics as a valid operational projection layer.
Long Abstract
The monograph begins by tracing physics as a historical search for invariants and identifies the measurement problem as the point where physics encounters its own presuppositions. It then develops a minimal observer-coherence framework in which distinction, semantic equivalence, and coherence classes precede physical ontology. The central theorem states that no purely physical theory is ontologically complete, supported by definability, interpretability, and categorical reconstruction barriers. The constructive part replaces law as fundamental with coherence, reinterprets physics as the invariant projection of richer structure, and binds the framework to FQFT, KP-Field, and Realica as frontier formalization targets. Falsifiability routes and proposed experimental classes are included to expose the framework to critique.

Submission-Safe Positioning
Use the following language when describing the manuscript externally:
The End of Physics is a source-backed theoretical manuscript proposing a formal limit claim about purely physical ontology. It argues that measurement depends on semantic equivalence and observer closure, and it organizes this argument into a reviewable theorem spine with explicit proof obligations.
Avoid:
- “physics is proven incomplete”
- “the theorem is verified”
- “Lean proof complete”
- “accepted by reviewers”
- “new physics confirmed”
Use:
- “the manuscript argues”
- “the theorem route states”
- “the proof obligations require review”
- “formal verification remains pending”
