From Metric to Vector

The geometric-differential paradigm of spacetime, while foundational to modern physics, faces intrinsic challenges in quantum gravity and provides a limited framework for understanding state evolution as a computational process. This article proposes a shift in ontological foundations, presenting Ze, a discrete computational framework that implements the dynamics of a fundamental state vector Ψ. We argue that Ze is not merely an algorithm but a model of physical becoming, where space and time are not pre-existing coordinates but emerge as anti-parallel channels for the redistribution of information flow. Within Ze, the state vector is represented by a global configuration of statistical counters, and its…
