Since the 20th century, physics has left deep rifts: the conflict between quantum nonlocality and relativity, the black hole information paradox, the cosmological horizon problem, the vacuum energy catastrophe, the origin of light speed constancy, and the classical-channel dependence of quantum teleportation. These seemingly disparate puzzles share a common root: the mistaken assumption that spacetime is ultimate, overlooking a deeper structure. The ITC framework starts from a single first principle: zero-latency transmission between any two points in the universe. This yields absolute time and a basal structure, from which spacetime emerges as a projection. Within this two-layer reality, quantum entanglement becomes the dual manifestation of the same basal structure; the black hole information paradox resolves via eternal information presence and instantaneous escape; cosmological uniformity arises from intrinsic equilibration of an instantaneously connected network; dark energy is topological maintenance energy resisting cosmic expansion; the vacuum energy catastrophe is a category mistake; light speed constancy is the maximum signal velocity in emergent spacetime; and classical-channel dependence in teleportation is a technical expedient, not a physical necessity. The ITC framework further yields three testable predictions: separability of errors in quantum teleportation, non-thermal radiation in early primordial black hole evaporation, and selective non-Gaussianity in the cosmic microwave background, placing this new paradigm under empirical adjudication. This paper presents a self-consistent, unified, testable paradigm: reducing spacetime to an emergent phenomenon and establishing connectivity as the fundamental reality.
