The author explicitly acknowledges that the mathematical derivations in all previous versions of this theory were entirely incorrect. Due to the author’s limitations in formal mathematics, earlier attempts relied on flawed "formula-fitting" to match classical results, leading to significant logical inconsistencies. Those mathematical models are hereby formally retracted. This paper presents the rectified Status-Relational Entropy (SRE) Dynamics. By abandoning those erroneous mathematical patches and returning to pure causal logic, we identify causal information flow as the fundamental ontological existence of the universe. Without assuming a fixed spacetime background or fundamental time, this work demonstrates that spacetime, matter, and physical laws emerge naturally from the topological structure and transmission order of information. Based on a minimal set of axioms and rigorous causal deduction (free from the previous mathematical errors), SRE Dynamics provides a self-consistent framework for the unification of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Specifically, this paper offers a complete logical proof of the microscopic mechanism of optical dispersion: the frequency-dependent refractive index is derived directly from causal synchronization protocols and logical sampling constraints, representing the inherent performance overhead of the cosmic logical system. This theory provides a new foundational perspective for quantum gravity and spacetime ontology, proving that physical reality is the result of self-consistent information processing.
