Emergence of Physical Law From a Pre-Geometry Universe: A Computational Demonstration
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents one of the first high-resolution computational demonstrations showing how stable physical law can emerge spontaneously from a universe with no geometry, no forces, no dimensions, and no constants. Using a full-physics forward integration from an undefined informational substrate, the simulation reveals a striking result: a universal 55-node attractor structure that repeatedly forms as the system stabilizes. The findings challenge the long-held assumption that laws such as gravity, electromagnetism, or the speed of light are fundamental. Instead, the results suggest they are endpoints of much deeper organizational dynamics — patterns crystallizing out of an initially lawless pre-geometry state. This work represents a foundational step toward understanding how the universe transitions from raw information to ordered physics, symmetry groups, and dimensional structure.
