Super-Universe
In the paper's words
The central problem of modern theoretical physics resides in the irreconcilable conflict between quantum mechanics and general relativity, alongside the persistent philosophical mystery of consciousness. This monograph proposes a radical ontological synthesis: the universe is not fundamentally geometric, dynamical, or material in the conventional sense. Instead, it posits a single, static, timeless, and superdeterministic structure—a forest of non-Archimedean Bruhat-Tits trees.
The abstract, verbatim, and its opening sentence is the claim. Every line below is quoted from the text.
Numbers it reports
The Einstein-Hilbert action $S_{\text{EH}} = \int d^4x \sqrt{-g} R$ can be derived from the forest dynamics.
from 4.4 Curvature from TreeThe branching factor $p+1$ must be large enough to accommodate all possible outcomes, but in practice, $p$ is enormous (e.g., a prime of order $10^{100}$), so there is plenty of room.

How it is done
If information is fundamentally surface-bound, the continuum interior may be an emergent illusion.
from 1.1 TheThis approach dissolves the measurement problem by rejecting realism about the quantum state.
from 1.2 TheThis is the holographic bound.
from 1.3 TheThis approach eliminates singularities because curvature cannot diverge on a discrete lattice.
from 1.4 The Planck Scale as a
What would falsify it
Third, the model predicts a discrete spacetime at the Planck scale, but current experiments show no sign of such discreteness.
from 7.7 Open Questions andTherefore, singularities are a generic prediction of classical general relativity.
from 1.1 TheIt predicts a minimal length (the edge length in Planck units), discrete spacetime at the Planck scale, and modifications to quantum mechanics at high energy.
from 2.7 The Tree as the
Where the claim stops
Quantum field theory, when applied to curved spacetime, fails to resolve these singularities.
from 1.1 TheThese mathematical endpoints strongly suggest that the smooth continuum approximation is fundamentally incomplete.
from 1.1 TheThese theorems rely on general assumptions about energy conditions and causality.
