Introduction

This CTMU website serves as a venue for the discussion of Chris Langan’s theory of reality, the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe.

So long as reasonable standards of civility and open-mindedness are upheld, members are invited to freely express their questions and opinions. However, it is advised that they refrain from repeatedly expressing opinions which Chris Langan has already refuted, or questions which he has already answered, either in papers or in this forum. Anti-CTMU trolling, or ad hominem attacks against Chris personally, will not be tolerated and will constitute grounds for immediate removal from the group. Just as importantly, erasing of the content of others by erasing any post of one’s own is also grounds for immediate removal.

There is a wide range of valid topics of discussion. In Chris’s words: “As this is the Official CTMU Group, CTMU-relevant contributions are preferred … the more relevant, the better. But as the CTMU is a Theory of Everything, nothing is entirely excluded.” Here, a bit of common sense should suffice.

Posted below is a link to Chris Langan’s book, The Art of Knowing, and links to his published papers. Also included is a link to the sources page of the CTMU wiki, where these same links can be found along with those to related websites, essays, records of online discussions, media coverage (audio, visual, and print), and other material.
