[4] Electromagnetism as Alignment Dynamics of Retained Measurement Structure

Building on a framework in which time emerges from the ordering of retained measurement records and gravitation from the constraint of their accumulated density, this paper reinterprets electromagnetism as alignment dynamics within retained asymmetry. Charges are interpreted as stable, non-canceled record configurations, while electromagnetic fields represent gradients of phase- aligned retention rather than independent physical substances. This view introduces no new mathematical structures and leaves Maxwell's equations intact, but reframes what electromagnetic propagation, polarization, and interaction represent physically. Electromagnetism emerges as the mechanism by which retained records maintain, transmit, and re-align across space.
