PEDLER: A Deterministic Event–Hypergraph Foundation for All of Physics

Abhishek Choudhary

PEDLER (Point Event-Driven Learner) is a proposed deterministic event–hypergraph framework for fundamental physics in which physical reality is modeled as a finite, typed, directed hypergraph evolving through local causal rewrite rules. This research poster presents the conceptual foundation of the PEDLER Unified Physics Programme, motivated by unresolved questions surrounding quantum measurement, wavefunction collapse, spacetime, gravity, and cosmology. It introduces the proposed primitive ontology, deterministic event dynamics, causal hypergraph evolution, emergent spacetime, quantum correlations, gauge interactions, black holes, and cosmological evolution within a unified conceptual framework. The poster concludes with an initial collection of foundational axioms, primitive rewrite operators, required emergence theorems, open mathematical problems, and experimentally falsifiable predictions. It is intended as the foundational blueprint for a long-term research programme rather than as a completed physical theory. Mathematical derivations of quantum mechanics, general relativity, gauge theory, particle physics, and cosmology remain objectives of future work requiring rigorous formalization, proof, computational validation, and empirical verification.

The Non-Institutional Observer in Theoretical Physics: Anomalous Phenomena as Empirical Starting Points for Quantum Gravity Research and the Case for Epistemological Pluralism

KUMI OOZAIKE

Theoretical physics stands at an impasse: the persistent incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity suggests a need for a paradigm shift. This paper argues that the solution may lie outside institutional boundaries. We propose that the "non-institutional observer"—the independent researcher unconstrained by academic orthodoxy—is uniquely positioned to document and analyze anomalous phenomena that are often dismissed as "noise" by traditional science. Key themes explored in this paper: The Impasse of Quantum Gravity: Why current mathematical models of gravity fail to account for the observer’s subjective experience. Epistemological Pluralism: The necessity of integrating diverse perspectives, including lived observations of non-local events and consciousness-driven materialization, into the physical sciences. Historical Precedents: How "outsider" perspectives have historically triggered scientific revolutions (e.g., Einstein, Faraday). By validating anomalous experiences as legitimate empirical data, this paper calls for a new, inclusive framework for quantum gravity research that bridges the gap between objective measurement and subjective reality.
