Radical theory reveals spacetime and gauge fields as illusions created by observers, suggesting new implications for physics.
What if space, time, and gravity are not the static stage of the universe, but a collective illusion born from observation itself? This paper completely inverts traditional physics. Operating within a purely zero-dimensional relational substrate, we reveal how continuous spacetime and rigid non-Abelian $SU(3)$ gauge fields spontaneously crystallize. They emerge not as fundamental physical entities, but as the optimal data-compression strategies used by an intelligent observer to maintain its boundary against ambient chaos. Discover a radical informational ontology where the universe weaves its reality strictly through cybernetic cognitive closure.
