contents Spacetime emergence from entanglement has long been presumed to be holographic, with emergence from quantum interactions in a boundary theory. Since that setup is difficult to extend to general spacetimes, it is imperative to understand the key aspects of the map from entanglement to spacetime. We consider a scenario for spacetime emergence from quantum interactions directly in the spacetime, where the effective spacetime theory emerges from interactions similar to how fluid dynamics arises from molecule interactions. We show that this ansatz constitutes a working scenario for spacetime emergence in 2D, with explicit examples for AdS and dS spacetimes. Importantly, by basing the emergence on interactions between quantum fluctuations that are present in the spacetime, key aspects of the dynamics observed in gauge/gravity duality analyses can be retained, at the same time as the quantisation can be applied to general spacetimes.
