| contents | <div> <p>This paper presents a minimal axiomatic formulation of the Sobolev-Ozok Lattice (SOL), a discrete theoretical framework in which spacetime, propagation, and curvature emerge from a single scalar coherence field defined on a Planck‑scale lattice.</p> <p>Instead of assuming a pre‑existing manifold, metric, or separate matter and geometry fields, SOL starts from seven primitive axioms: a discrete substrate, a scalar coherence field, bounded local updates, interface flux, global conservation, a Sobolev energy hierarchy, and a criterion of physical admissibility. Within this closed system, coherence is given a unified definition as the transmissibility of local state updates across lattice interfaces, showing that gradient, flux, and transmission‑based descriptions are equivalent projections of the same underlying structure.</p> <p>From this axiomatic core, the paper derives:</p> <ul> <li>the first‑order (k = 1) sector, describing propagation, invariant signal speed, action closure, coherence stiffness, and attenuation;</li> <li>the second‑order (k = 2) sector, where curvature, an emergent metric, and Einstein‑like geometric closure arise in the coarse‑grained limit.</li> </ul> <p>Propagation and geometry are thus shown to be successive Sobolev orders of one scalar field, rather than independent physical domains.
