That **gravity is not a fundamental force** but emerges as the **geometric record of quantum state collapse**. The probabilistic quantum domain ($\mathcal{H}$, future) and deterministic spacetime domain ($\mathcal{M}$, present) are distinct ontological states connected by collapse mapping $C: \mathcal{H} \rightarrow \mathcal{M}$.

Instead of quantizing gravity, we **geometrize quantum collapse**. Gravity emerges from the quantum-to-classical transition rather than being a force within quantum mechanics.

(1) The **quantum domain $\mathcal{H}$** - probabilistic manifold of potential futures, and (2) The **spacetime domain $\mathcal{M}$** - deterministic manifold of realized presents.

Time emerges procedurally from collapse progression: $d\tau = k \, dC$, where $k = \sqrt{\hbar G/c^5}$. **Time advances only when collapse occurs**.

**Wavefunction collapse is not mysterious** but constitutes the physical process that generates classical reality. Measurement represents complex interaction dynamics that build spacetime.

The **critical interface** where quantum superposition loses coherence and classical geometry emerges: $\det(\partial^2 C/\partial x^2)|_{\Sigma} = 0$.

Entanglement correlations appear "spooky" only when viewed through emergent spacetime. Pre-collapse, **entangled states are singular entities in $\mathcal{H}$**; post-collapse, correlations manifest simultaneously across spacetime.

Observation introduces **impedance** to the free flow of potential, producing reflection and realized outcomes. Any deterministic system can serve as an "observer" through participation in interaction.

Spacetime curvature records collapse density: $R(x) = -8\pi G \rho_C(x)$. High matter density corresponds to **persistent, rapid actualization** of quantum potential.

Renormalization fails because it attempts to normalize across **probabilistic (future) and deterministic (present) domains** with fundamentally different measures.

Gravity enforces conservation through the Bianchi identity, ensuring energy-momentum balance throughout spacetime while **recording each quantum realization as curvature**.

The mapping $T_{\mu\nu}[\lambda]$ is locally constructed from scalar $\lambda$ and 4-velocity $u_\mu$, maintaining local Lorentz invariance in freely falling frames.

Quantum vacuum energy resides in the probabilistic domain as **unactualized potential**. Only energy realized through collapse enters the spacetime domain and gravitates.

Temporal asymmetry emerges naturally from the **one-way mapping $C: \mathcal{H} \rightarrow \mathcal{M}$**. The future→present direction of collapse provides dynamical origin for time's arrow.

The entire universe emerges from a single **coherent quantum potential**, providing natural large-scale coherence.

The Big Bang represents the **inversion of potential into geometry** - the moment of ontological inversion where quantum potential transforms into spacetime.

Collapse is modeled as a **stochastic record field** that coexists with linear quantum dynamics, generating curvature as causal propagation of realized events.

The wavefunction continues to evolve linearly while a classical tensor field $R_{\mu\nu}$ records realized outcomes, propagating causally as the source of gravity.

Not as mathematical pathologies but as **ontological boundary markers** - computational overflow where dimensional concepts transform into non-dimensional potentiality.

Virtual processes remain in the **probabilistic domain** and only contribute to gravity when actualized through collapse events.

Entanglement resides in the uncollapsed singular state, while **gravity arises after realization as geometry**. A propagating curvature cannot act as a static quantum bond.

As intrinsic features of the **pre-spacetime quantum domain** where all correlations are holistic and non-local by nature.

Entanglement represents the **fundamental relatedness from which spacetime emerges**, not a phenomenon within spacetime.

Time as the **monotone of realization** - the sequence of collapse operations rather than a background parameter.

As **variation in collapse participation** - different worldlines experience different rates of realization events.

**Linear time** is the sequential flow along one realization trajectory; **lateral time** is the coexistence of all realization threads in the quantum potential.

The collapse mapping $C$ projects definite causal structure from quantum causal indefiniteness, preserving relativistic causality in the emergent domain.

As the **fundamental conversion rate of the collapse process** - the exchange rate between quantum energy and geometric mass.

Mass emerges as the **geometric signature of persistent, localized realization** of quantum potential.

Total probabilistic energy in $\mathcal{H}$ equals total deterministic energy in $\mathcal{M}$. Collapse **transforms energy** from potential to actual form without creation/destruction.

Light propagates along the **inflection manifold $\Sigma$**, serving as the **operational horizon** between probabilistic and deterministic domains.

Photons are the **propagating reflections of interaction imprints** - the outward propagation of realization fronts.

$c$ represents the **maximum rate of realization propagation** - the speed at which the collapse front advances.

Dimensional geometry transforms into **non-dimensional computation** - space becomes connectivity matrices, time becomes computation steps.

As the **diffraction limit at the Planck aperture** - the signature of projecting non-dimensional quantum states into dimensional observables.

The cosmological-scale projection mechanism structuring our reality from fundamental potential.

**No gravitational entanglement before collapse**, versus standard quantum gravity predictions of coherent gravitational phases.

**Transient, classical-like gravitational fluctuations** timing-locked to collapse events in mesoscopic systems.

**Observation of gravitational entanglement prior to collapse** would refute the framework.

Manipulating which-path information should **statistically shift collapse timing distributions**.

Consciousness **participates in the realization process** as a co-evolving subsystem, not as supernatural agency.

Observation introduces **impedance to potential flow**, causing reflection and realization rather than destroying quantum states.

Any **deterministic system** can serve as an observer through participation in interaction dynamics.

The mapping $C: \mathcal{H} \rightarrow \mathcal{M}$ that transforms probabilistic quantum states into deterministic spacetime configurations.

Through $R(x) = -8\pi G \rho_C(x)$, where $\rho_C \equiv dC/d^4x$ is the local collapse density.

The **Bianchi identity $\nabla_\mu G^{\mu\nu} = 0$** is maintained through careful construction of the stochastic collapse dynamics.

Through **covariant stochastic equations** and proper treatment of lightlike collapse fronts.

Reality is the **geometric projection of an inverted zero-point potential** - a participatory process of actualization.

As **persistent records encoded in present geometry** through memory and entropy gradients, not an extant temporal domain.

As **consistent rules of cosmic computation** between possibility and actuality - the grammar of collapse-projection processes.
