Emergent Time and Gravitation from Entanglement-Weighed Manifestation

A Conceptual framework
Authors: Kristensen, Kim;

Emergent Time and Gravitation from Entanglement-Weighed Manifestation

Abstract

This work presents a conceptual framework in which time, gravitation, and spacetime structure emerge from the probabilistic manifestation of a global quantum state. Local physical reality is described through a manifestation probability dependent on energy density and entanglement structure, while a universal, constant oscillatory process underlies all realization without constituting physical time. Within this framework, time arises as a measure of realized change, gravitation emerges from spatial variation in manifestation probability, and the speed of light appears as an emergent limiting rate. The framework is interpretative in nature and aims to clarify the conceptual foundations of relativistic and quantum phenomena without modifying their empirical content.Version 2 provides minor clarifications and conceptual refinements, particularly concerning time dilation and entanglement, while preserving the original scope and intent.

Abstract We present a conceptual framework in which time, gravitation, and spacetime structure emerge from the probabilistic manifestation of a global quantum state. Local physical reality is described in terms of a manifestation probability that depends on energy density and entanglement structure, while an underlying universal oscillatory process remains constant and timeless. Within this framework, time arises as an effective measure of realized physical change, gravitation emerges from spatial variation in manifestation probability, and the speed of light appears as an emergent limiting propagation rate. The framework reproduces the phenomenological predictions of General Relativity, including gravitational time dilation and gravitational waves, while reinterpreting their underlying origin in entanglement-weighted manifestation rather than fundamental spacetime geometry.
