Theoretical analysis reveals a zero-net-charge spacetime emerging from discrete causal networks, suggesting a self-contained universe requiring zero arbitrary free parameters.

Key Points

To establish the mathematical and ontological foundation of the Zero-Sum Ontological Model, formalizing spacetime and matter as an emergent, globally balanced zero-net-charge system.
Modeled spacetime as a discrete causal graph where spatial separation corresponds to graph distance and time corresponds to processing latency.
Formulated vacuum excitation and spontaneous symmetry breaking using a scalar potential in an indefinite metric Krein space constrained by a Wheeler-DeWitt-type equation.
Applied Kolmogorov complexity and the Minimum Description Length principle to assess model parameterization and self-containment.
Demonstrated that spontaneous symmetry breaking generates conjugate perturbation pairs that maintain an exact net-zero charge globally despite active local dynamics.
Showed via algorithmic information theory that the zero-net-charge configuration is the unique self-contained architecture requiring zero arbitrary free parameters.
Defined formal empirical, algorithmic, and computational Popperian falsification criteria for the model.
