The Illusion of the Cartesian Container: Topological Collapse in R³ and a New Simulation Paradigm Based on the Metric Co-construction of Reality
Dany D. Ruiz
This article addresses the physical, ontological, and computational implications of metric position determination in R³, building on the theoretical results established in "Minimal Configurations for Generic Position Determination in R³: Tetrahedron vs. Orthogonal Ambiguity" (Ruiz, 2026). We posit that spacetime is not an absolute Cartesian container of pre-existing coordinates, but a dynamic relational structure that emerges from the distance signatures among physical observers. 1. We analyze the collapse from the bimodal ambiguity of Theorem 3.1 to the unique solution of Theorem 3.3, characterizing this phenomenon as a discrete topological jump, a macroscopic analogue of wavefunction collapse. 2. We expose the epistemological bias of contemporary computational simulation engines, which assume a global Cartesian grid of divine origin (false absolute space). 3. We propose a new standard for relational, panperceptual simulation where physical positions are co-constructed and resolved strictly through the metric interactions of the network.
