How would you define CAPT in one sentence? - It is the theory of the origin, structure, and dynamics of space-time—how its logical architecture and intrinsic laws give rise to the physical world we observe.

Causal Automorphic Propagation Theory (CAPT 2.0): The Building Blocks of the CAPT Universe expands upon the foundational lattice model introduced in CAPT 1.0, transforming it from a conceptual framework into a systematic architecture of physical reality. In CAPT, the universe is represented as a discrete logic lattice composed of self-updating units—“cubes”—whose internal cycles (“ticks”) define time, causality, and energy. CAPT 2.0 deepens this framework by formalizing the relationships among logic, saturation, and tick duration, establishing them as the fundamental primitives from which all observable physical behavior emerges.

This second paper introduces a modular structure, allowing each chapter to be read independently once the reader understands the foundational CAPT principles. Within this structure, CAPT 2.0 unifies multiple physical domains—energy, motion, temperature, charge, and gravity—under a single operational mechanism: the propagation of logic updates through a resistant, saturating lattice. Virtual particles are eliminated as artifacts of incomplete logic resolution, while familiar phenomena such as superposition, redshift, and lensing are reinterpreted as consequences of local tick-rate variations.

A key contribution of CAPT 2.0 is the numerical closure of constants, demonstrating how Planck-scale ratios and the fine-structure constant (α ≈ 1/137) can be derived from lattice behavior rather than empirical calibration. The model further establishes operational limits—T_min and T_max—that bound all temporal and energetic processes, replacing mathematical infinities with computable logic limits.

In summary, CAPT 2.0 reframes the universe not as a continuous geometric manifold but as a self-consistent logical computation that produces space, time, energy, and matter through tick-based propagation. It provides both a conceptual and mathematical foundation for a discrete, computable cosmology—one capable of reconciling quantum and relativistic behaviors within a single, causal framework.
