Thirty-Nine Years of Simulated Annealing on a Causal Set: A Revival of Bombelli (1987) with 2026 Tools
Thirty-Nine Years of Simulated Annealing on a Causal Set: A Revival of Bombelli (1987) with 2026 Tools
This software record concerns causal set theory and the 1987 causal set program of Luca Bombelli. It provides aPython 3.12 revival and empirical audit of Bombelli's Pascal simulated-annealing code for causal set embedding into Minkowski spacetime.
A preservation, revival, and empirical audit of an early causal set simulated-annealing algorithm. This software release does not claim to solve causal set theory or quantum gravity.
