Microphysical Closure of FCLET Finite-Capacity Cells, Latency Modes, and the Covariant Continuum Limit

Articles 103–105 established the present-record ontology, its Lorentz-covariant causal structure and the operational capacity of resource-bounded causal diamonds. Article 106 supplies the microphysical closure connecting these macroscopic principles to a finite local quantum architecture. The microscopic FCLET domain is represented by a locally finite causal network whose elements carry finite-dimensional record spaces The maximum ideal record capacity of cell is For a finite causal subnetwork , the composite Hilbert dimension satisfies and therefore This result derives finite causal-diamond capacity directly from local finiteness and finite cell dimension. Each cell carries a physical record occupancy , utilization ratio reserve fraction and logarithmic load The microscopic latency degree of freedom is represented by a local scalar mode with conjugate momentum . Its stable Hamiltonian contains local restoring dynamics, causal intercell coupling and capacity-load sourcing: Coarse-graining the network produces the continuum latency field and the covariant field equation The FCLET operational-time law arises from load-dependent suppression of local transition rates: Defining operational duration by the number of completed physical transitions gives Article 106 therefore establishes one continuous derivation:
