A Quantum Gravity Framework from Globally Unitary Histories

We introduce Finite Quantum Relativity (FQR), a boundary-conditioned framework in which finite global history capacity gives rise to linked structural corrections to both General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Field Theory (QFT). The theory is founded on three axioms: single measurement outcomes are time-ambiguous, the universe evolves unitarily between cosmological boundaries, and only histories consistent with both boundaries are physically realized. From these principles follows an entropy-coherence structure, governed by a global invariant relating realized and admissible future histories. We develop dynamics through a local imbalance field and a Noether-like redistribution structure and show this leads, at an effective continuum level, to a covariant correction sector in Einstein’s equations and to a filtered path-integral form for QFT. We then outline some immediate consequences of the framework and clarify which parts of the construction are derived, which are effective, and which remain to be developed or tested. FQR is presented here as a minimal baseline formulation intended to establish a core framework and its first linked modifications of GR and QFT. This is a preliminary, non-peer-reviewed preprint intended as the Basic Framework manuscript for Finite Quantum Relativity.
