Indexicus

Indexicus is a hypothetical concept explored in speculative fiction and theoretical discussions. It refers to a potential universal index or registry, often imagined as a system capable of cataloging and cross-referencing all available information, knowledge, and possibly even consciousness within a given universe or dimension. The idea suggests that such an index could exist as a fundamental aspect of reality, or be a technologically or supernaturally created entity.

Discussions around Indexicus often touch upon themes of omniscience, control, and the nature of information. If such an index were to exist, it could theoretically provide answers to any question, predict future events, or even allow for the manipulation of reality itself, depending on its capabilities. Conversely, the existence of an all-encompassing index raises concerns about privacy, free will, and the potential for absolute authoritarianism. Some narratives explore the quest to find, access, or understand Indexicus as a central plot device. The concept itself is not tied to any specific scientific theory but serves as a narrative tool to explore complex philosophical and existential questions.
