Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper describes a continuation of the program of causal views, in which the world consists of nothing but a vast number of partial views of its past. Each view is associated to an event, and is a representation of the immediate causal past of that event. These consists mainly of processes that transfer energy, momentum and other charges to it from its past events. There is fundamentally no space or spacetime, just a large number of events, which are the causes of events to come. This is a development of energetic causal set theories, developed with Marina Cortes. Momentum and energy are fundamental, and are conserved under their transformation from present events to future events. As a result Minkowski spacetime emerges, in a way that preserves causal relations. The locality of events as constructed in the emergent spacetime is a consequence of the conservation of energy-momentum fundamentally. In this paper we propose that the views of events can be represented in terms of degrees of freedom on punctured two surfaces-each puncture corresponding to an immediate past event. This opens up to the use of mathematical tools from twistor theory and the nascent area of celestial spheres. We show that This makes possible versions of the theory that are relativistically invariant.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
