| contents | <p>This paper extends and deepens the framework introduced in <em>The Physicality of I(x): An Informational Scalar in Quantum Gravity</em> by exploring the dynamics of the field I(x) before spacetime itself existed.</p> <p>Beginning from a discrete, pre-geometric network where I_i(τ) encodes entanglement correlations across graph nodes, the paper develops a field evolution equation and graph action that capture how a primordial information field could undergo condensation and drive the emergence of geometry. This geometrogenesis process is formalised through mean-field approximations, spectral flow, and toy models that reconstruct seed metrics from informational correlations.</p> <p>In the continuum limit, the paper derives a nonlocal, curvature-coupled action for I(x) that recovers gravitational dynamics and predicts observable signatures in the cosmic microwave background, tensor-scalar ratios, and effective dimensionality. Simulation pathways — including Monte Carlo and tensor network approaches — are outlined to test the hypothesis that I(x) was the universe before the universe.</p> <p>This is a standalone companion to the main Zenodo publication, providing the microphysical scaffolding and emergence mechanism that underpins the original field-theoretic formulation of I(x). It is aimed at researchers in quantum gravity, early-universe cosmology, spin networks, informational field theory, and those exploring the transition from pre-geometric frameworks to classical spacetime.</p> |
