Key Points

To construct a mathematically explicit derivation of low-energy flat (3+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime from an effective discrete causal event network within the Informational-Foundational Ontology framework.
Applied the D'Ariano–Perinotti Quantum Cellular Automaton classification to isolate a Body-Centered Cubic lattice topology in three spatial dimensions under homogeneity and macroscopic isotropy constraints.
Constructed an 8-dimensional doubled-branch state space realizing exact discrete parity and time-reversal symmetries satisfying the fermionic Kramers identity.
Evaluated the continuum limit at long wavelengths to derive effective relativistic wave equations and leading-order Lorentz-invariance violation bounds.
Recovered two degenerate copies of the covariant Dirac equation in the continuum limit with leading remainder orders of O(k^2 a^2, theta^2), defining the conformal Minkowski light cone.
Fixed the conformal factor to a constant through macroscopic translational isometry, reconstructing the standard Minkowski metric eta_mu_nu = diag(1, -1, -1, -1).
Quantified leading-order cubic anisotropic Lorentz-invariance violations with a maximum velocity deviation of approximately 0.385 E / E_cut.
