Beyond the "G" Frontier: A Time Traveler's Century-Long Vision for Wireless Intelligence

TL;DR

This paper envisions a future wireless ecosystem from 2025 to 2125, driven by a curvature-managed integration of multiple disciplines, leading to a self-aware information ecology that transcends traditional generation-based evolution.

Contribution

It introduces the Information--Curvature Efficiency Law (ICEL) as a novel framework for understanding long-term wireless evolution beyond incremental generations.

Findings

Wireless evolution will be driven by interdisciplinary integration.

A global self-aware information ecology will emerge by 2125.

Traditional generation-based wireless improvements will be superseded by curvature-managed systems.

Abstract

This article travels one century into the future--from 2025 to 2125--through the analytical lens of the Information--Curvature Efficiency Law (ICEL). It contends that wireless evolution will not proceed through incremental generations such as 6G or 7G, but through a curvature-managed integration of electromagnetics, biology, thermodynamics, and cognition. The resulting infrastructure will constitute a global ecology of self-aware information flow, where geometry and communication converge to sustain both technological and biological life.
