章七・零(Chapter 7.0)
No Contradiction with Known Physics
「既存の物理学は、六章以後に始まる。」
Existing physics begins after Chapter 6.
7.0.1 The Relationship to Established Theory
This textbook does not contradict existing physics.
It precedes it.
Classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, general relativity, and quantum field theory all assume space exists. They describe how things behave within space.
This work describes how space becomes possible.
The two projects do not conflict—they operate at different levels.
7.0.2 Where Standard Physics Begins
Once space emerges (Chapter 6.0), all standard assumptions become available:
- Locations can be defined
- Distances can be measured
- Coordinates can be assigned
- Geometry can be constructed
At that point, physics as normally practiced is fully valid.
This work does not replace physics. It provides its foundation.
7.0.3 What Collapse-Derived Space Explains
By deriving space rather than assuming it, certain features gain natural explanation:
Three spatial dimensions: The ascent from CTS through difference, direction, memory, and locking naturally produces exactly three independent modes of coexistence (elaborated in Chapter 6).
Why space is smooth: Continuous space emerges because collapse patterns at high resolution approximate continuity through dense recursive locking.
Why space has metric properties: Distance is remembered separation cost. Metrics are not imposed—they are inherited from recursive structure.
7.0.4 Compatibility with General Relativity
General relativity describes how mass-energy curves spacetime.
In this framework, curvature emerges because:
- mass corresponds to concentrated recursive locking,
- concentrated locking modifies local collapse permissions,
- modified permissions alter the emergent metric.
Einstein’s equations describe the result. This work describes the mechanism.
7.0.5 Compatibility with Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics describes behavior at small scales, including superposition and measurement collapse.
The “collapse” in quantum mechanics is distinct from collapse in CTS, but there may be deep connections:
- Quantum states as incomplete locking
- Measurement as forced resolution
- Superposition as coexisting collapse potentials
These connections are speculative and require further development.
「壊してはいない。基礎を与えたのだ。」
Nothing has been broken. Only foundations have been given.
