Sommario:
- <p class="p1">The Substrate Framework starts from a hypothesis: there is a fundamental field that pervades all of space, all of time, every particle, every region. Call it the substrate. Everything else — particles, forces, even space and time as we experience them — emerges from this substrate. And we can derive the Born rule of Quantum Mechanics form this framework. The framework is based on eight postulates</p> <p class="p1">The eight postulates say:</p> <p class="p1">1. There is a real, physical time at the deepest level of reality. Time flows.</p> <p class="p1">2. Time and space are not symmetric. (This sounds technical but just means time is special — it has a</p> <p class="p1">direction, space does not have a preferred direction.)</p> <p class="p1">3. Time emerges from the substrate dynamics. It is not a separate thing — it comes from how the</p> <p class="p1">substrate vibrates.</p> <p class="p1">4. There exist tiny excitations of the substrate, called time quanta. They are everywhere, all the time,</p> <p class="p1">propagating at the speed of light.</p> <p class="p1">5. Reality has two layers. There is the underlying quantum stuff (call it Frame 1), and there are the</p> <p class="p1">definite outcomes we actually observe (Frame 2). A filter connects them.</p> <p class="p1">6. Matter is, in a sense, the absence of substrate. Where the substrate field drops to zero, mass appears.</p> <p class="p1">7. The substrate has a particular shape — a Mexican-hat potential — that determines the physics of</p> <p class="p1">inflation, vacuum energy, and how the universe can be stable.</p> <p class="p1">8. The substrate carries an extra electromagnetic-like force — a hidden gauge symmetry — with very</p> <p class="p1">specific properties.</p>
