01 - Axiomatic Foundation of a Coherence-Driven Discrete Informational Framework

Enrico Ferrero

Published May 13, 2026• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This series presents a structured and logically sequential formulation of a discrete informational framework governed by global coherence constraints. Although it originates from the same research program developed in the earlier exploratory preprint series (P-series), the works presented here constitute an autonomous and self-contained series, organized in a progressively axiomatic form and focused on the explicit derivation of the framework’s effective structures. The goal of the construction is to investigate whether structures commonly associated with quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and geometry may emerge from a discrete relational substrate without being introduced as fundamental postulates. Each article addresses a specific level of the theoretical derivation and forms part of a progressive logical structure based on results established in the preceding works of the series. This article develops the axiomatic foundation of the framework and introduces the discrete informational system underlying the construction. The paper defines the admissible configuration space, the local update structure, the global coherence constraint, and the dynamical selection principles leading to the emergence of a coherent sector. The analysis establishes the existence, invariance, and structural uniqueness of the coherent sector, together with the effective restrictions that prepare the minimal two-component structure developed in Paper 02 and the emergent quantum framework constructed in Paper 03. No quantum-mechanical, geometric, or probabilistic structure is assumed at the foundational level. The purpose of the work is to establish the minimal structural and dynamical layer from which the later effective constructions emerge.

02 - Emergence and Uniqueness of the TwoField Effective Structure from a Coherence-Driven Discrete Framework

Enrico Ferrero

This series presents a structured and logically sequential formulation of a discrete informational framework governed by global coherence constraints. Although it originates from the same research program developed in the earlier exploratory preprint series (P-series), the works presented here constitute an autonomous and self-contained series, organized in a progressively axiomatic form and focused on the explicit derivation of the framework’s effective structures.

Each article addresses a specific level of the theoretical derivation and forms part of a progressive logical structure based on results established in the preceding works of the series. This article develops the emergence and structural uniqueness of the effective two-field representation arising from the coherent sector identified in Paper 01. The work demonstrates that the coherence-preserving dynamics of the discrete informational framework admit a minimal effective structure based on two coupled components, and that this structure emerges as the unique stable representation compatible with the global coherence constraints. The analysis establishes the conditions under which the two-field sector becomes dynamically unavoidable within the effective description and prepares the mathematical framework developed in Paper 03, where Hilbert-space structure, Schrödinger-type dynamics, and probabilistic emergence are derived. No quantum-mechanical or geometric assumptions are introduced at the foundational level. The purpose of the article is to derive the minimal effective representation required by the internal consistency of the coherent informational dynamics.

04 - Emergence of Thermodynamics from a Coherence Driven Discrete Informational Framework

Enrico Ferrero

This series presents a structured and logically sequential formulation of a discrete informational framework governed by global coherence constraints. Although it originates from the same research program developed in the earlier exploratory preprint series (P-series), the works presented here constitute an autonomous and self-contained series, organized in a progressively axiomatic form and focused on the explicit derivation of the framework's effective structures. The goal of the construction is to investigate whether structures commonly associated with quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and geometry may emerge from a discrete relational substrate without being introduced as fundamental postulates. Each article addresses a specific level of the theoretical derivation and forms part of a progressive logical structure based on results established in the preceding works of the series. This article derives thermodynamics as the unique coarse-grained consequence of coherence loss within the informational framework established in Papers 01–03. Starting from the coherence-selected physical sector and its effective quantum description, the work introduces coarse-graining as a constructive mechanism and studies the emergence of irreversible macroscopic behavior from an underlying coherence-preserving dynamics. The analysis derives entropy as the unique information-loss functional compatible with the structural constraints of the framework, proves the second law as a monotonicity consequence of the induced semigroup evolution, and establishes the relation between quantum coherence reduction and thermodynamic behavior. Equilibrium, temperature, and thermodynamic potentials are obtained as structural consequences rather than independent postulates. No thermodynamic laws are assumed at the foundational level. The purpose of the article is to show how thermodynamic structure may emerge as an effective macroscopic description of the same informational dynamics that gives rise to quantum mechanics.

03 - Emergence of Quantum Mechanics and Born Measure from a Coherence-Driven TwoField Discrete Framework

Enrico Ferrero

This series presents a structured and logically sequential formulation of a discrete informational framework governed by global coherence constraints. Although it originates from the same research program developed in the earlier exploratory preprint series (P-series), the works presented here constitute an autonomous and self-contained series, organized in a progressively axiomatic form and focused on the explicit derivation of the framework’s effective structures. The goal of the construction is to investigate whether structures commonly associated with quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and geometry may emerge from a discrete relational substrate without being introduced as fundamental postulates. Each article addresses a specific level of the theoretical derivation and forms part of a progressive logical structure based on results established in the preceding works of the series. This article develops the emergence of Hilbert-space structure and Schrödinger-type effective dynamics from the coherent two-field sector established in Paper 02. The work demonstrates that the global coherence constraints imposed on the discrete informational substrate naturally generate an effective complex representation endowed with linear superposition properties and unitary-preserving evolution. The analysis shows that the two-component coherent sector admits a mathematically stable reformulation equivalent to a Hilbert-space structure, and that the effective evolution of the coherent amplitudes leads to a Schrödinger-type dynamical equation without introducing quantum mechanics as an initial assumption. The article further derives the probabilistic interpretation associated with the effective amplitudes and clarifies how quantum-like statistical behavior emerges from the internal coherence conditions of the underlying discrete system. No quantum postulates are assumed at the foundational level. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that the formal structures associated with quantum mechanics can emerge as effective consequences of coherence-preserving informational dynamics. The article does not assume quantum mechanics as a foundational theory and does not postulate the Hilbert-space formalism a priori. Instead, the work demonstrates that, within the internal hypotheses and coherence constraints of the proposed discrete informational framework, structures mathematically equivalent to Hilbert-space representations and Schrödinger-type evolution can arise as effective emergent descriptions. The purpose of the derivation is therefore not to reproduce standard quantum mechanics by assumption, but to show that quantum-like formal structures may consistently emerge from deeper coherence-preserving informational dynamics.

Foundations of a Discrete Relational Dynamics - From Finite Update Capacity to Classical and Quantum Structure

Björn Asplind

This preprint develops a discrete, fully relational framework in which spacetime structure, classical dynamics, and quantum-like behavior emerge from three minimal principles: relational existence without background manifold, local deterministic update, and finite per-element update capacity. The central organizing primitive is finite update capacity. At each update step, elements can realise only a bounded number of relational changes. Competition among admissible updates induces “blocked realisations,” which are defined micro-ontologically as energy. Proper time is identified with realised record growth. Spatial distance and effective dimension arise from intrinsic graph structure and shell scaling. Under broad locality conditions, marginal frontier stability constrains viable scaling regimes. Requiring compatibility between flux balance and the observed inverse–square law selects an effective three-dimensional scaling regime among integers. Classical force structure emerges from anisotropies in blocked realisation. A statistical layer appears through coarse-graining of deterministic microhistories. Composition and norm stability require unit-modulus complex weights; refinement invariance and classical coherence fix the phase rule \[\theta = \hbar^{-1} \int E \, d\tau,\] with the same blocking-defined energy that generates intrinsic force. In decohered regimes, quadratic (Born-type) probability scaling follows from additive consistency under random-phase aggregation. The framework is programmatic: it does not yet derive general relativity or quantum field theory from explicit microscopic rule families. However, it establishes structural coherence linking geometry, inertia, inverse–square interaction, phase accumulation, and probabilistic outcomes under a single finite-capacity relational principle. The work also identifies structural empirical constraints, including compatibility between shell scaling and classical force behavior, stability of inertial response, and the possible appearance of capacity-induced high-energy dispersion within the intrinsic causal-cone bound. Explicit construction and simulation of proposal/selection rule families constitute the next stage of investigation.

Emergent Quantum Structures from a Geometric Helical Field Framework

Michael Dawod

Abstract In this work, we investigate the emergence of quantum structures within a purely geometric field framework based on a unified helical configuration. Building on the geometric foundations and limiting recovery principles established in the preceding papers of this series, we demonstrate that quantization arises as a consequence of topological and spectral constraints imposed on the underlying helical field, rather than being introduced as a fundamental postulate. We show that discrete spectral sectors naturally follow from global and local topological conditions on the field configuration space, leading to an intrinsic form of quantization without invoking canonical commutation relations or operator axioms. Effective quantum operators are constructed directly from geometric functionals of the helical field, yielding non-commutative structures as emergent features of constrained geometry. Within this setting, Planck’s constant appears as an effective parameter characterizing the spectral density of admissible configurations, rather than as a fundamental universal constant. The framework consistently recovers standard quantum kinematics in appropriate limiting regimes while remaining fully compatible with the classical and relativistic limits previously derived. This approach provides a coherent geometric interpretation of quantum discreteness, operator structure, and effective constants, thereby offering a unified perspective in which classical, relativistic, and quantum descriptions arise from a single geometric field without assuming independent foundational layers.
