QSFM: From Spacetime Quanta to Cosmic Metabolism – A Process-Ontological Interpretation(Version 20260801)
Description
The Quantum Spacetime Flow Model (QSFM) is a novel framework for quantum gravity and cosmology grounded in process ontology. The model posits that spacetime consists of discrete Quantum Spacetime Units (QTUs). Their sequential state updates, termed "historical frame refresh", constitute the fundamental dynamics of the universe. Within this framework, time is not an external parameter but an emergent property of irreversible refresh events. Matter particles are interpreted as topological defects on the QTU network, and the four fundamental interactions are unified as distinct response modes of the same quantum spacetime medium. This model offers novel interpretations of several longstanding physical problems: dark energy as QTU volume phase transitions driven by micro-quantum (MQ) perturbations; dark matter as "hidden gravity" arising from long-range spin correlations of the QTU network; resolution of the black hole information paradox via historical frame encoding and unitary evolution; elimination of gravitational singularities through the Quantum Incompressibility Principle; and a cyclic cosmic rebirth mechanism enabled by global phase transitions. Beyond physics, this work extends its conceptual framework to the philosophy of time, process ontology, and consciousness studies via three appendices. It explores the dynamical origin of the arrow of time, the grounding of phenomenal consciousness within historical frame refresh, and the implications for understanding the "present moment". Building upon the prior release, this version strengthens mathematical formalization and computability, clarifies theoretical boundaries and core risks, establishes an interface with lattice QCD alongside a numerical implementation roadmap, improves the self-assessment of theoretical maturity, and deepens the philosophical exposition and logical coherence across the appendices. For the philosophical foundations and broader worldview of this framework, refer to the companion paper Ontological Interpretation of Process in Quantum Spacetime Flow Cosmology (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20388734).
