Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) , developed by Christopher Langan, is a "Self-Configuring Self-Processing Language" (SCSPL) that views reality as a reflexive, self-modeling system. It identifies the "syntax" of the mind with the "state" of the physical universe, suggesting that reality is essentially a language that "talks to itself about itself".

The CTMU resolves this by asserting that the universe is its own cause. Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) , developed
