Emergent Spacetime from Correction Fidelity in Abstract Information Networks

This work presents a pre-geometric, information-theoretic framework in which spacetime is not assumed as a fundamental background, but emerges from the stabilization requirements of an abstract information network.

The model defines the primary constituents of the universe as logical units—abstract information states without prior physical carriers or predefined dimensions. Interactions between these units are quantified through Correction Fidelity, an operational measure describing the capacity of a distributed error-correcting process to maintain logical consistency against noise.

Within this framework, spatial distance emerges as a logarithmic function of correction fidelity, while effective geometry and dimensionality arise from scaling behavior across the network. Gravitational dynamics are reinterpreted as informational gradient flows driven by the minimization of correction cost, rather than as fundamental forces.

Horizons and black holes are described as operational limits and saturation regimes of the error-correction process, resolving classical singularities as non-geometric phase transitions while preserving information in a scrambled, high-entropy state.

It intentionally avoids implementation details, operational thresholds, predictive mechanisms, or algorithmic prescriptions, and should not be interpreted as enabling control, optimization, or intervention in physical or informational systems.
