Wepresent the Information Coherence Hypothesis (ICH), a comprehensive ontological framework proposing that information understood not as Shannon-theoretic data but as a fundamental substrate of distinctions and relations constitutes the primary fabric of reality. The ICH articulates a multi-level architecture of nested informational spaces, connected through informational resonance, and governed by twenty foundational principles ranging from informational substantiality to creative individuation. We introduce the information spectrum, a ve-tier ontology from structural to transcendent information, and characterize consciousness as a local metapattern of maximal integrated information. We develop the concept of informational attractors as teleological organizing principles, propose temporal integration as an emergent property of informational dynamics, and analyze beauty, creativity, play, humor, and ethical phenomena as expressions of informational organization.
