Foundations of the Metamaterial Fluidic Cosmology (MFC): A Sampled Universe Model for Quantum Mechanics.

This paper introduces a new framework, the Metamaterial Fluidic Cosmology (MFC), which
proposes a physical mechanism for both quantum and relativistic phenomena. The theory postulates
that physical reality emerges from a discrete spatial lattice, the result of a "sampling" process
at Planck-time intervals of a non-local and atemporal potential domain, termed the Metaverse.
By postulating a granular spacetime, the theory provides a potential physical and
mechanistic counterpart to the mathematical structures of Loop Quantum Gravity
(LQG). This view aligns with Digital Physics and the Simulation Hypothesis, while
distinguishing itself by proposing a specific physical substrate: a perfect superfluid with
imaginary mass ("meta-matter"), generated by the collapse of tachyonic entities, which permeates
our universe.
In this model, quantum phenomena such as entanglement and uncertainty are not paradoxes
but direct consequences of the sampling process. Entanglement emerges as a single coherent entity
within the Metaverse, while "wave-function collapse" is the registration of a potentiality into a
single "frame" of reality. The theory also explains the origin of the arrow of time and entropy as an
emergent and irreversible effect. Finally, it speculatively proposes a non-causal role of consciousness
in the creation of reality.
This work establishes the conceptual foundations for a new ontology of physics; subsequent
applications to gravity, electromagnetism, and the unification of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
will be addressed in forthcoming papers.
