Causal Memory Gravity VI: Microscopic Origin of Inertia and Dark Energy in Causal Memory Gravity

This paper explores a new approach to some of the deepest open questions in modern physics: Where do quantum mechanics, gravity, and dark energy really come from? Within the Causal Memory Gravity (CMG) framework, spacetime is not assumed to be fundamental. Instead, it emerges from a vast network of interacting elements that store and exchange information through internal memory. From this discrete structure, familiar physical laws appear only at large scales, much like fluid behavior emerges from molecular motion. Starting from a simple microscopic model, the work shows how inertia, quantum discreteness, and cosmic acceleration can arise naturally from collective network dynamics. The Planck constant, Newton’s gravitational constant, and the cosmological constant are derived as emergent quantities, rather than being inserted by hand. A renormalization group analysis demonstrates that relativistic symmetry develops dynamically, and numerical estimates reproduce the observed values of fundamental constants without fine-tuning. In this picture, quantum behavior reflects the finite resolution of an underlying causal network, while dark energy is interpreted as a consequence of irreversible information and memory production in the cosmic background. This provides an alternative to conventional vacuum-energy explanations and offers a unified microscopic foundation for quantum and gravitational phenomena. The paper continues a broader research program aimed at connecting discrete network dynamics with observable physics and may be of interest to researchers working on quantum gravity, foundations of physics, and emergent spacetime.
