Spacetime Emergence, Causal Structure, and Local Gravity in QGEFT from Pure Gauge-Field Dynamics

The current Paper 69 benchmark does not claim that continuum general relativity or a complete quantum-gravity phenomenology has already been derived. It does show that, at N=2048, degree k=16, SU (3), under a moderate causal-foliation window (Rₒ₏₀₍=4), one production run simultaneously and reproducibly realizes fractal geometry (dH 2. 570 weighted / 2. 294 topology-only vs. dₛ 1. 849 weighted / 1. 903 topology-only), an emergent causal light cone (fit R²=0. 897, c₄₅₅=0. 0024, leakage =0. 0001), and an Einstein-Hilbert-consistent gravity signature (triangle-Ricci fit R²=0. 264, p2. 110^-138; EH-action fit R²=0. 206, p1. 110^-104), with the fractal structure confirmed scale-persistent via a 5-step RG coarse-graining flow (dₛ: 1. 851. 591. 240. 86).
