Obsah:
- <p>We present a qualitative unified framework, the Constraint-Dispersion Unified Framework<br>(CDUFD), in which quantum mechanics, gauge symmetries, gravity, and cosmology emerge from<br>non-equilibrium critical dynamics near second-order phase transitions. The framework is built<br>on a 4+1 axiom system. The first four axioms (A1–A4) are mathematical axioms defining a<br>space of possible discrete network constructions; the fifth axiom (A5) is a survivor-identification<br>axiom that selects, from this space, the particular structure corresponding to our observed universe.<br>Before stating these axioms, we introduce three foundational physical principles (meta-axioms):<br>Uniqueness of Ontology, Global Relaxation, and Local Self-Constraint.<br>Weintroduce the concept of a critical spectrum: a cascade of critical points at different energy<br>scales, each responsible for the emergence of specific physical content. The spectrum is bounded<br>by two fundamental boundaries: the UV side (onset of emergence) and the IR pole (maximum<br>entropy). The UV side is not a critical point; it represents the initial condition where the discrete<br>network starts to give rise to continuous spacetime. The existence of such a cascade is a theoretical<br>conjecture; the precise number and physical interpretation of the critical points are determined by<br>matching to observed energy scales (phenomenological assignment as part of A5 anchoring).<br>We clarify the relationship between spacetime and particles: spacetime emerges at a higher scale<br>before particles, but both are emergent. Their coupling is recovered in the continuum limit of the<br>non-critical regime.<br>We propose a survivor mechanism: internal dynamical selection reduces the solution space<br>SA1-A4 to a candidate set Ssurv, which may contain more than one universe. A5 then acts as an<br>empirical anchor to identify our particular universe within Ssurv. This framework avoids both the<br>landscape problem and strong anthropic principles.<br>All derivations are qualitative; core open problems are identified. This revised edition incorpo<br>rates the critical spectrum, survivor selection, and a conceptual focus on the emergence hierarchy,<br>with all numerical estimates deferred to phenomenological papers. CDUFD provides a coherent<br>conceptual structure that connects fundamental physics across scales, demonstrating that a small<br>set of axioms can generate a unified qualitative picture.</p>
