Contemporary physics encounters fundamental limitations when describing physical change under spacetime constraints, particularly the invariance of light speed and the requirement of infinite energy for massive bodies approaching this limit. This work proposes an alternative conceptual framework, termed Moses Walkway, which reformulates physical change not as motion through spacetime, but as a direct transition between physical states within an underlying informational structure.Rather than attempting to exceed relativistic bounds, the framework introduces the notion of state-to-state updates governed by informational cost, allowing non-local transitions without invoking superluminal propagation or violations of energy conservation. In this view, spacetime is treated as an emergent descriptive layer rather than a fundamental substrate.A formal representation based on networked state transitions is outlined, and conceptual connections with quantum non-locality, tunneling phenomena, and information-theoretic approaches to physics are discussed. The Moses Walkway is presented not as a complete physical theory, but as a foundational and pre-geometric model intended to re-express long-standing physical constraints and to open new directions for theoretical investigation and computational simulation.

This preprint presents a speculative but internally consistent framework in which time is not treated as a fundamental dimension, but as an emergent ordering imposed by finite-capacity state transitions in space. Space is modeled as a discrete lattice of single-occupancy units, each capable of holding exactly one state and transitioning at a bounded rate. Within this model, apparent motion corresponds to pattern propagation rather than physical transport, the relativistic speed limit emerges as a throughput constraint, time dilation follows from update contention, and gravity arises from persistent local saturation of update capacity. Black holes correspond to permanent queue saturation. The framework is further extended to core quantum phenomena, interpreting entanglement, superposition, and measurement as consequences of shared scheduling constraints and pending state resolution rather than non-local information transfer or hidden variables. The work is intended as a foundations-level proposal designed to provoke critical analysis and identify failure modes, rather than as a completed physical theory.

This work proposes a minimal informational perspective on physical observability. Instead of treating spacetime and physical states as fundamentally given, the model suggests that what we observe emerges through a structural constraint that filters possible configurations into physically accessible ones. In this view, physical reality is not defined by dynamics alone, but by limits on what information can consistently appear as an observable state. The model introduces the idea that unobserved or excluded configurations are not lost arbitrarily, but contribute indirectly by shaping the structure within which observable states emerge. The framework does not introduce new forces or speculative entities. Rather, it provides a conceptual basis for interpreting physical constraints as consequences of informational selection. The approach is deliberately minimal and compatible with existing physical theories, serving as a foundational step toward more detailed theoretical and empirical developments.
Modern theoretical physics rests on two highly successful but conceptually distinct frameworks: quantum mechanics and general relativity. While both theories are experimentally confirmed to high precision within their respective domains, they rely on fundamentally different starting points. General relativity takes spacetime as a primitive geometric structure, whereas quantum mechanics is formulated in terms of abstract state spaces without intrinsic spacetime meaning. Most approaches to quantum gravity attempt to reconcile this tension by modifying, quantizing, or discretizing spacetime itself. Even in approaches where spacetime is said to be “emergent,” it typically remains the primary conceptual backdrop on which physical processes are defined. Despite extensive efforts, there is no consensus on whether spacetime should be regarded as fundamental or derivative. In this work, a more radical starting point is explored. Rather than modifying spacetime or its geometry, we ask whether spacetime can be excluded entirely from the fundamental layer of the theory and recovered only at a later, operational stage. The central question is not how spacetime behaves, but whether the notion of “what lies between physical objects” must be spatial or temporal at the most fundamental level. We propose a framework—referred to here as Super Relativity (SR)—based on a single pre-geometric postulate: the existence of a monotonically expanding set of possible quantum configurations, referred to as the flux. Formally, this flux is represented as a monotone, σ-finite family of capacity measures on a common configuration space (introduced in Section 2). This postulate deliberately refrains from assuming spacetime, time ordering, metric structure, causality, or dynamics. Within this pre-geometric core, two derived, dimensionless notions are introduced: utilization, describing the realization of configurations, and saturation, defined as the ratio between utilized and available configurations. A central structural element of SR is the strict separation between a core layer and an interface layer. In the core layer, all quantities are pre-geometric and dimensionless, and no reference is made to space, time, motion, energy, or interaction. Only at the interface layer are operational notions introduced, including clocks, rulers, and signal propagation. Spacetime, in this construction, is not a dynamical entity but an effective bookkeeping structure that encodes relative rates of change once a calibration to physical units is performed. Within this framework, gravitational phenomena do not originate from spacetime curvature taken as fundamental. Instead, they arise from variations in saturation that, at the interface level, manifest as uniform rescalings of physical processes. When expressed in geometric language, these rescalings reproduce the standard predictions of general relativity, including gravitational time dilation and the equivalence between gravitation and acceleration. The invariant local speed of light is not postulated but follows as a derived consequence, since both clock rates and signal propagation are affected identically by the same underlying saturation mechanism. The aim of this paper is not to introduce new empirical predictions beyond those of general relativity, nor to present a complete theory of quantum gravity. Rather, the objective is foundational: to demonstrate that the mathematical structure of general relativity can be reconstructed from a single pre-geometric postulate without assuming spacetime as part of the fundamental ontology. In this sense, SR should be understood as a reconstruction and reinterpretation of known physics, rather than as a competing dynamical theory. An extended and fully explicit formulation of the framework, including all intermediate steps, is available in a companion preprint (version V12) deposited on Zenodo. The present paper restricts itself to the minimal conceptual and mathematical structure required to establish logical consistency and to demonstrate the emergence of general-relativistic behavior at the interface level.
This work presents a conceptual and representational framework aimed at clarifying the structural relationships among established physical theories across relativistic, quantum, and cosmological regimes. Rather than proposing new dynamical laws, particles, or experimentally testable predictions, the manuscript focuses on how existing physical descriptions may be consistently interpreted within a unified representational structure. The proposed Dual-Spacetime Projection Framework distinguishes between an underlying descriptive domain and an observed effective spacetime, connected through a scale-dependent projection. This distinction is intended as a formal and interpretative tool, not as an ontological claim about the existence of multiple physical spacetimes. Within this perspective, several foundational features of modern physics—such as Lorentz invariance, finite signal propagation, quantum uncertainty, and large-scale cosmological behavior—are discussed as consequences of representational structure rather than as independent postulates. The manuscript is positioned as a contribution to the foundations of theoretical physics, offering a coherent conceptual lens for organizing and interpreting existing theories. It is intended for readers interested in foundational questions, conceptual unification, and the representational aspects of physical law, and does not rely on experimental data or numerical simulation.
This work presents a continuous, constraint-based interpretive framework for physical systems that unifies quantum behavior, classical structure, and cosmological evolution without introducing new forces or modifying established equations. Rather than treating quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and general relativity as fundamentally separate domains, the paper proposes that these regimes can be understood as consistent descriptions of a shared underlying structure. The framework is built on three foundational elements: a non-geometric substrate (P_0) defining admissible configurations, interaction as the propagation of constraint, and geometry as the macroscopic record of accumulated interaction. Within this perspective, physical structure emerges through a continuous progression: distinctions enable gradients, gradients enable interaction, interaction accumulates as constraint, and constraint stabilizes into persistent configurations. The quantum–classical transition is interpreted as a continuous increase in interaction-induced constraint, while spacetime curvature reflects the large-scale organization of these interactions. The framework does not replace existing theories, but instead provides a unified conceptual interpretation that remains fully consistent with established physics across known regimes. Its value lies in clarifying relationships between domains, offering a continuous ontology of physical systems, and suggesting potential directions for further formalization.
This trilogy introduces the ZIP framework as an ontological reinterpretation of time, coherence, and cosmological structure. Rather than proposing new physical laws, the framework reexamines the meaning of established formalisms in general relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. The first paper reinterprets gravitational time dilation as a consequence of constrained state change governed by ZIP density, demonstrating full compatibility with relativistic effects observed in satellite-based systems. The second paper extends this interpretation to quantum systems, proposing coherence capacity as the key factor underlying decoherence, measurement, and the emergence of probabilistic outcomes without invoking fundamental time. The third paper addresses cosmology by introducing a pre-informational ontological layer, referred to as consciousness, from which a Fundamental Informational Field (FIF) emerges through self-coherence. The universe is described as a structured region arising from a transitional boundary between pre-informational reality and informational order, offering a consistent account of entropy growth, the arrow of time, and classical structure formation. Together, the trilogy presents a unified conceptual framework in which time, information, and physical structure emerge from deeper ontological constraints, while remaining fully consistent with established experimental and theoretical physics.
