ChronoGravity deepens quantum biology by treating mesoscopic quantum effects as resonances and instabilities in the 5D ψ-field. Photosynthetic coherence emerges from ψ-time dilation harvesting chrono-flux gradients, avian magnetoreception from ψ-screw twists in cryptochromes, and neural computation (e.g., microtubules) from ψ-fraying events that enable non-local braid linking. The same framework extends seamlessly to macroscopic biology: trees function as self-assembling chrono-conveyors, with DNA acting as a ψ-fractal antenna that tunes resonant attachment of levitated atoms and molecules. The framework derives directly from the refined 5D master action (cuscuton + Chern–Simons) — no exotic matter or new forces are required. A single coupling constant λ is fixed at the cosmic scale and used uniformly across all biological regimes. Lindblad simulations (FMO complex, cryptochrome radical pairs, microtubules) and L-system models (tree growth) demonstrate qualitative signatures: prolonged coherent oscillations, distinct ψ-screw dynamics, controlled topological fraying, and buoyancy-enhanced branching. These are deliberately toy models chosen to illustrate the predicted effects with minimal computational overhead; full quantitative matching is left for future work. Predictions include measurable ψ-signatures such as excess redshift in bio-photon spectra, tunable coherence under time-dilation perturbations, topological biomarkers in microtubule disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s), and fractal-dimension shifts in living structures. This preprint unifies quantum biology as topological phenomena at the biology-physics interface, extending ChronoGravity from cosmic scales through macroscopic biology to subcellular processes.

Abstract This work develops a process-based framework for quantum gravity in which physical space is rigorously described as the topology of a dynamically evolving graph of discrete quantum processes called P-tacts. A P-tact is defined as the primitive unit of quantum evolution, unifying local superposition and entangling operations into a single indivisible process step. Within this formalism, spacetime is not assumed as a pre-existing background but emerges from the connectivity structure of entanglement relations between P-tacts. The present study synthesizes and extends a coherent research program published throughout 2026. The foundational definition of the P-tact as the primitive unit of quantum theory was introduced in: Pavlov, M. (2026). P Tact (П-такт) as the Primitive Unit of Quantum Theory.

Everett Interpretation Formalized via P-Tact (П-такт) Path Graphs.https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18524745 The present work integrates these results into a unified topological model in which space is identified with graph connectivity, curvature corresponds to dynamic restructuring of entanglement relations, and gravitational phenomena emerge as large-scale patterns of connectivity evolution. In this framework, geometry is not fundamental but process-derived. The theory is fully compatible with Everettian quantum mechanics and eliminates the need for wavefunction collapse. Branching structures correspond to graph bifurcations in the P-tact network, providing a structural representation of many-world dynamics. Gravity is thus interpreted not as a fundamental interaction but as an emergent property of quantum process topology. This approach proposes a formally consistent, unitary, and experimentally testable pathway toward quantum gravity grounded entirely in discrete quantum processes. Potential experimental implementations include quantum simulators and BQM platforms capable of modeling evolving entanglement graphs.
This paper constructs a logically self-consistent emergent structural frameworkfor the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) based on decoherence theory, quantum information geometry, and self-referential dynamics. Within this framework,a ”world” is rigorously defined as a quasi-classical branch formed in Hilbert spacethrough environmental decoherence and information-geometric boundaries. Its independence is quantitatively characterized by the branch separation degree Dab defined by the quantum relative entropy between branches. When Dab exceeds a critical value Dc determined jointly by the energy scale of environmental fluctuationsand the decoherence time, the branches separate irreversibly in the informationgeometric sense, constituting independent ”worlds”. Furthermore, by introducingthe concept of a self-consistent observer, this paper demonstrates the dynamic selection mechanism of cosmological laws within the string theory landscape: only thosevacuum branches that can support self-consistent observers (satisfying conditionssuch as the memory decoherence time being much greater than the cognitive operation time) have their wavefunction weights effectively preserved during evolution,thereby acquiring physical reality. Finally, combining Zurek’s envariance argumentwith the requirement of observer memory stability, we show that the Born ruleP(i) = |⟨i|ψ⟩|2 is not an additional assumption but a necessary consequence forthe stable existence of self-consistent observers. This framework provides an operational mathematical foundation for the many-worlds interpretation, transforms theanthropic principle into a dynamic selection problem, and offers an explanation forthe origin of probability based on quantum information principles.
ORIGIN NOTE: The theoretical framework presented in this paper was first established and publicly released by the author, Anubhav Srivastava, in the treatise 'Nothing/Everything: The Mindbending Philosophical Theory of Everything' in May, 2025. This document serves as a condensed research distillation for formal archival and DOI indexing. This paper provides a foundational philosophical and logical resolution to the century-long conflict between the deterministic "Block Universe" of General Relativity and the probabilistic branching of the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics. This paper first proposes a formal mechanism for the transition from a state of absolute ontological neutrality to the structured, deterministic laws of physics observed within localized universes. Grounded in the "Nothing with No Laws" axiom, first discussed in the book Nothing/Everything: The Mind-Bending Philosophical Theory of Everything, which posits that an absolute absence of governing constraints necessitates the timeless actualization of all possible configurations of existence, this paper describes the philosophical mechanism behind how such an actualization could take place. We propose it as the Timeless Cosmic Branching Mechanism (TCBM). Utilizing a multidimensional branching model situated beyond linear time, and using "cosmic dice-roll" analogies, the paper demonstrates how reality bifurcates into "Familiar" and "Alien" superstructures. It introduces the model of Progressive Determinism, arguing that initial probabilistic potential crystallizes into fixed law-sets through a sequence of static, simultaneous snapshots. A critical distinction is drawn between this framework and Charles Sanders Peirce’s Tychism. While Peirce suggested that physical laws evolve as "habits" over time within a singular universe, the author contends that this branching is a Timeless Structural Property of the Zeromniverse, the term itself implying a Cosmic Library like state of Infinite Universes unfolding themselves via infinite probabilities, timelessly. In this model, all stages of "evolution" exist simultaneously as static snapshots, resolving the tension between quantum probabilistic beginnings and macroscopic superdeterminism. Later, the work posits that the apparent temporal "splitting" of universes is a Chrono-centric illusion. Drawing on the Wheeler-DeWitt equation (HΨ=0), the paper argues that all quantum interactions and their resulting branches exist simultaneously as static, timeless coordinates within the Zeromniverse. This model reconciles the macro-scale causality of Relativity with quantum probability by introducing Superdeterministic Bubbles—individual universal reels that are internally deterministic despite their probabilistic origin. By framing physical laws as emergent "genetics" within a timeless Darwinian speciation process, the TCBM offers a definitive conceptual bridge between the two pillars of modern physics, effectively resolving the "First Cause" paradox and the problem of linear time.
Quantum mechanics does not require parallel universes — only phase-relative structure within a shared spacetime manifold. This preprint presents an interpretive framework for quantum multiplicity that avoids spatial “parallel universe” metaphors. Building on standard quantum field theory, Everettian quantum mechanics, and decoherence theory, it argues that apparent multiplicity can be understood as phase-relative branch structure within a single shared spacetime manifold, rather than as spatially separate worlds. The work introduces no new dynamics, equations, or empirical predictions. Its contribution is conceptual: clarifying how mutually exclusive classical outcomes arise through branch-relative accessibility and loss of correlation, while preserving all governing invariants, including conservation laws and universal gravitational coupling in the semiclassical regime. A companion supplementary document presents the standard mathematical formalism—Hilbert space structure, density matrices, decoherence, and expectation-value stress–energy—to demonstrate that the interpretation remains fully consistent with established physics. In approaches to quantum gravity where spacetime is emergent—such as loop quantum gravity or holographic dualities—the framework would naturally reformulate in relational or entanglement-theoretic terms. In that context, branch-relative multiplicity corresponds not to multiple times or geometries, but to multiple decohered relational histories or bulk reconstructions supported by a single underlying quantum state. This paper is intended as a foundations-level reinterpretation for physicists and philosophers of physics interested in quantum ontology, decoherence, and the conceptual structure of spacetime.
Abstract This paper resolves the wave-particle duality and the measurement problem of the double-slit experiment by applying the Cartesian Relativity Framework [1, 2]. We posit that quantum superposition exists strictly as an unrendered probability distribution within the "Backend" of spacetime—a domain devoid of geometric volume and physical time. The physical detection of a particle is a forced "Render Event" onto a discrete, integer-based coordinate topology. By defining the wave function as a continuous Gaussian probability curve mapping to a quantized physical lattice—governed by a fundamental "Resolution Limit" that removes the reliance on mathematical infinity—we provide a deterministic mechanism for Quantum Dithering, Probabilistic Pruning, and the energetic "Lattice Tax" required to maintain non-rendered states. We address potential critiques regarding non-local domains and the energy costs of entanglement, demonstrating how this framework provides superior macro-to-micro coherence over standard interpretations. Finally, we propose falsifiable observational metrics: the laboratory Jitter Shadow, Render Exclusion Zones, and the measurable energetic overhead of logical address synchronization.
