A Native Record-dynamical Framework for the Emergence of Matter, Causal Structure, and Gravity
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper presents a proposed foundational framework in which matter, causal structure, and gravitational geometry are not assumed as primitive ingredients but are intended to emerge from a deeper dynamical organization of physical states and persistent physical records. The framework begins with a native physical state, \[ \mathfrak R=\{R_i,\mathcal Q_{ij},\rho_{ij},\ldots\}, \] where \(R_i\) denotes a physical matter state, \(\mathcal Q_{ij}\) denotes physical records generated by physical interactions, and \(\rho_{ij}\) denotes quantum correlation structure. A central distinction is made between causal records and quantum correlations: correlation is not automatically treated as a signaling or dynamical interaction.
