This work presents a mathematical foundation for the Sobolev–Ozok Lattice (SOL) framework, in which physical laws emerge from the stability of a hierarchy of operators acting on a discrete coherence field defined over a Planck-scale lattice. In this framework, a scalar coherence field evolves on a discrete structure, and its behavior is governed by a multi-order operator system. Different operator levels correspond to different physical regimes, including propagation, curvature, and localization. A central result of the paper is the formulation of a universal field equation that governs the behavior of the coherence field across all scales. From this equation, key physical structures emerge naturally. The framework demonstrates:- Emergence of geometric structure from coherence gradients- Interpretation of curvature as a second-order effect of coherence- Recovery of the Newtonian gravitational limit- Identification of gravitational coupling as an emergent property of the system In particular, gravity is interpreted as a manifestation of coherence stiffness, with the gravitational constant arising from the underlying operator structure rather than being assumed as fundamental. The paper also introduces a spectral stability principle, where physically observable states correspond to stable modes of the operator hierarchy. This provides a connection between classical physics and quantum-like behavior within a unified mathematical setting. This work does not aim to replace existing physical theories, but instead provides a foundational mathematical perspective in which classical and quantum physics can be understood as different stability regimes of a single underlying structure. The SOL framework offers a new way to think about the emergence of geometry, matter, and physical interactions from discrete coherence dynamics.
