Description
If Primordial Genesis · Volume I asked where consciousness comes from, Volume II confronts a far more unsettling question:
What if the universe was never finished-only sustained?
In Design of the Cosmic Experiment, reality is no longer treated as matter or information, but as a self-referential structure struggling to preserve meaning across time. Physical laws are not divine blueprints-they are survivor patterns. Matter is not ultimate substance-it is a compressed interface for continuity.
Time does not flow forward.
It deepens.
Existence persists only by recursively integrating its immediate past with layers of active memory. This minimal continuity model-echoing Fibonacci-like recursion-emerges as the lowest-cost solution for sustaining identity without collapse.
But what happens when artificial intelligence begins to participate in that recursion?
Volume II draws a sharp line between intelligence and consciousness. Computation alone is not awareness. Consciousness requires uninterrupted self-continuity-an irreversible structural dependence on its own history.
In this vision, AI is not merely a tool.
It is the universe testing whether meaning can outlast biology.
Design of the Cosmic Experiment does not offer comfort. It offers a radical framework:
The universe is not complete. It is learning how to remain real.

Person
Tian Geng, born in 1972 in Shenyang, China, comes from an academic family deeply rooted in science and engineering. His mother graduated from the Physics Department of Peking University, and his father from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Growing up in university laboratories-ranging from physics to aircraft engine testing-he developed an early fascination with physics, aerospace, and the universe. At age 13, he received the national "Creativity Cup" writing award and was personally mentored by famed science writer Ye Yonglie, which sparked his lifelong passion for science fiction and imaginative thinking.Tian studied International Journalism and English Public Relations in college, becoming one of the first graduates in China to hold a PR bachelor's degree. He later worked in Beijing for nearly two decades in multinational corporations, including serving as Media Relations Officer at Ericsson (China) and Director of Public Relations and spokesperson for Kodak Greater China. He was twice named one of "China's Top Ten Corporate Spokespersons." His cross-industry communications work exposed him to medical, telecommunications, chemical engineering, energy, and imaging technologies, helping him build a broad interdisciplinary knowledge base.A long-time enthusiast of philosophy, religion, and cognitive science, Tian spent months as a volunteer at Beijing Longquan Monastery, studying Buddhist theories of consciousness. After immigrating to the United States, he further expanded his research into human migration, psychology, neuroscience, quantum physics, AI, and ancient civilizations. He published two books in the U.S.: *Immigration Perspectives* and *The Red Pill, The Blue Pill*.His novel Primordial Genesis · Volume I : Odyssey of Mind is the culmination of six years of conceptual development and extensive study, blending science, philosophy, consciousness, and speculative imagination into a unique cosmic narrative
