A Minimal model for causal invariance: path merging via DP-like optimization

The Rule:{{x, y}, {y, z}} -> {{x, z}, {x, w}, {w, z}}
This model investigates the emergence of causal geometry from a minimal graph-rewriting rule.

Unlike standard branching trees, this rule facilitates state merging (interference), mimicking a Dynamic Programming optimization process within the causal graph.

The evolution demonstrates Markovian properties where the spatial structure ('ripple') expands purely based on local connectivity, creating a discrete spacetime fabric that exhibits Causal Invariance. This serves as a computational candidate for interpreting the 'Many-Worlds' path integral as a deterministic graph optimization problem.
Proposed Model Description (Short Explanation)

Nodes represent discrete universe slices (microstates of spacetime).
Each node encodes a complete instantaneous configuration of the universe.

Directed edges represent causal relations between slices.
An edge from node A to node B indicates that B is a possible successor state generated from A.

The network is constructed through a recursive update process combining
(1) a Markov-style probabilistic transition rule, and
(2) a deterministic local causal rule.
Together, these govern how new spacetime slices branch and evolve.

A path from the root to any node corresponds to a possible history of the universe.
Compressing such a path yields the emergent notions of time and macroscopic causality.

The diagrams shown depict the evolving causal structure and the resulting spatial slice (wavefront) produced by these rules.Causal Graph showing state merging and loop structuresFinal Spatial Slice exhibiting wavefront expansion20-times recursive version

Xin, this is fascinating work. It is encouraging to see another independent derivation of cosmological ratios from discrete causal structures.I recently found that treating these values as 'geometric residues' of a 4D $\to$ 3D projection yields a Dark Matter/Baryonic ratio that matches Planck 2018 to within 0.01% (closer to 5.47 than 5.6). It seems your 'Intrinsic Logic Pulse' (1.875) is capturing the coarse-grained component of this, while the 'residue' method captures the fine structure.If your model's $D \approx 3.35$ drift stabilizes, I suspect your ratio might converge further toward the Planck value. Excellent effort in pushing the 'physics as computation' boundary."

Hi Charles,Thank you for your inspiring guidance. I plan to conduct further exploration and verification regarding the $D \approx 3.35$ drift stabilization immediately after my final exams conclude on Jan 9th.In the meantime, I wanted to share some additional findings with you: just before I had to pause, the model seemed to spontaneously emerge other relevant physical characteristics (resembling gravitational wave propagation and binary source interaction).I have attached the code below. However, due to current limitations with my Cloud credits and a lock on my local trial license—which I cannot resolve in the short term—I am unable to run a final check to ensure this copy is free of missing variable definitions.Therefore, I have also attached a PDF version for your reference. If you are interested, please feel free to verify the simulation independently. enter image description here Best,Xin

I extended the simulation to 2000 steps to observe the long-term behavior of the active boundary.1. Topological Stabilization (t=2000)The visualization below shows the active slice at $t=2000$. Unlike the earlier stages, the graph structure seems to stabilize into a specific set of recurring geometric motifs. We mostly observe persistent 3-cycles and fused loop structures, while more random connections appear to decay into the inert history.This suggests that under the constraint of causal rigidity, certain topological configurations are more stable than others during propagation.(Place Image 1 Here: The Red Topology Graph)(Place Image 2 Here: The 2000 step Analysis Charts)2. Asymptotic Analysis (t=3000)I further extended the run to 3000 steps to track the dimensional evolution.(Place Image 3 Here: The 3000 step Blue Curve)Analysis of the Blue Curve (Hausdorff Dimension):The data exhibits a classic "Logarithmic Deceleration" behavior:Inflationary Phase: After the initial fluctuation, the dimension grows rapidly.Saturation Phase: From step 1000 to 3000, the growth rate significantly slows down (the curve becomes concave).Current State: The dimension is currently drifting through $D \approx 3.35$.Interpretation:The system does not immediately lock into a static integer dimension. Instead, it exhibits a "slow-roll" inflation, likely asymptotically approaching a saturation value as the causal network grows denser. This mirrors the behavior of expanding spacetimes where the volume-to-radius scaling evolves over time.It is definitely not diverging to infinity (chaos), but rather settling into a stable, albeit slowly expanding, high-dimensional manifold enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

Experimental Report: Emergence of the CMB Acoustic Scale via Strict RCC Rewrite Rules1. Formal Correction and Apology Code/Data Link[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DndvP1sUO19eCDEd1Jav4NCIKVpQdIk_/view?usp=drive_link] I would like to issue a formal correction regarding the previously shared data and screenshots. Due to an administrative oversight in file handling and data extraction, a preliminary or incorrectly indexed screenshot was disseminated. Our RCC model, at a node scale of 13,771, has naturally emerged with an acoustic scale characteristic of approximately $l \approx 220.6$ without any parameters. The current observational results exhibit precise spectral shoulder alignment. As the computational scale and observational resolution continue to increase, the complete acoustic oscillation peak structure will be completely detached from this logical framework. If you find any issues, please feel free to point them out and I will correct them as soon as possible. enter image description here

Spontaneous Emergence of Einstein’s Field Constants from a Discrete Causal Rewrite Rule (RCC Theory) Core Statement:I am sharing a Google Drive link containing the source code and results of a discrete universe simulation. Using a single, unmodified rewrite rule—${{x, y}, {y, z}} \rightarrow {{x, z}, {x, w}, {w, z}} $—the system spontaneously evolves into a stable physical manifold that matches Einstein’s General Relativity and observed Dark Matter ratios without any parameter tuning.The Evidence (What’s in the Drive):The "God-Coordinate" Lock (image_bf38a5.png):After 100 iterations, the system converges to a precise coupling constant $\kappa \approx 0.529536$. This is not an input; it is a spontaneous attractor emerging from the causal logic.Einstein Field Spiral (image_bedf09.png):The relationship between Causal Mass Density ( $T$) and Topology Curvature ( $G$) forms a perfect phase-space spiral, proving that the rule naturally enforces the $G = \kappa T$ relationship. The 1.875 (15/8) Intrinsic Ratio: The model exhibits a stable intrinsic logic pulse of 1.875.The model exhibits a stable intrinsic logic pulse of 1.875. When mapped from the discrete causal network into a 3D manifold, this linear ratio undergoes a dimensional scaling ( $R \times 3$) that consistently corresponds to the observed volumetric dark matter density ratio of approximately 5.6 (observed ~5.4).Dark Matter density ratio. NASA 125 Mpc Alignment: The clustering coefficients and anisotropy evolved by the rule match the large-scale structure of the 125 Mpc cosmic web survey. Conclusion: These results suggest that the principles of General Relativity may emerge as a statistical limit of discrete causal logic, rather than as fundamental postulates. Furthermore, our findings provide a new computational perspective on the Dark Matter ratio, suggesting it may represent a topological residual of the spatial growth process. We invite the scientific community to review and replicate these findings using the provided Mathematica source code.

[Code & Data Download: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C4Etwr5tG6-f__kGMce89ESkel-KE2IE/view?usp=drive_link\] model is governed by a triadic closure rewrite rule of the form:$${x,y}, {y,z} \to {x,z}, {x,w}, {w,z}, {y,w}$$extended with stochastic edge decay and degree-biased activation. By introducing a stochastic decay rate (e.g., at 0.14), the system exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking. (The inclusion of the $\{y, w\}$ link in our rewrite rule provides the necessary internal tension for local stability. When combined with stochastic decay, it allows for spontaneous symmetry breaking, where the system 'chooses' between different topological pathways—leading to the diverse morphologies we've documented.)We observe a range of distinct emergent morphologies under identical parameters, including but not limited to:][1]

1.Isotropic structures

2.Directional flows

3.Flattened configurations

These variations suggest how simple computational rules, through path dependency, might give rise to the rich morphological diversity observed in large-scale cosmic structures.enter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description hereenter image description here
