Constitutional Demarcation: A Research Fabric is a bounded epistemological architecture. Structural formulation, digital execution, and proof-assistant replay declare local invariants; they do not constitute unverified physical validation.
Architectural Overview
Fabric Gravity (FG) formalizes a recovery-first, weak-field metric projection framework within the Science of Fabric Reality. Rather than positing continuous spacetime geometry as an irreducible fundamental substance, the architecture treats macroscopic gravitational fields as emergent projections derived from discrete relational graph dynamics.
The foundational projection operator maps discrete network states to smooth Riemannian manifolds in the low-energy limit:
Where discrete edge-weight distributions and boundary cycle flows asymptotically recover linearized Einstein tensor structures
Core Invariants
- Relational Pregeometric Primacy: Spacetime metric tensors are strictly derived from relational boundary cycles; no global background metric is presupposed.
- Weak-Field General Relativity Recovery: In the low-energy, macroscopic distance regime (
), the projection recovers standard Newtonian and post-Newtonian weak-field limits. - Conserved Invariant Boundary Flux: Discrete divergence-free conditions on the underlying relational graph guarantee macroscopic local energy-momentum conservation.
- Residue Boundedness: Non-perturbative deviations from classical geometry remain bounded within experimental metrological tolerance thresholds.
Epistemic Status & Demarcation
Analytical Formal Root
Fabric Gravity is maintained as a mathematical and analytical formal root exploring pregeometric quantum gravity alternatives. Inclusion in the corpus does not assert physical gravitational discovery beyond standard general relativistic limits, nor does it replace established precision laboratory gravity metrology (e.g. torsion balance, atom interferometry).
