Information Relational Manifestation Theory: Quantum, Gauge, and Gravitational Dynamics on a Relational Causal Substrate

Information Relational Manifestation Theory (IRMT) proposes a discrete relational framework in which spacetime, matter, and interaction emerge from coherence constraints on a causal substrate carrying internal record structure. Physical configurations are weighted by a principle of relational unity acting on manifestation amplitudes, producing interference structure across globally admissible relational histories. Within this framework, bipartite correlations—derived as maximum-entropy states under relational coherence—satisfy no-signaling and approach the Tsirelson bound in the large-coherence limit, yielding a relational account of quantum entanglement. The theory derives a linear coherence scaling κ(N) ∝N and predicts a structural correlation deficit of ε_IRMT ~ 10^(-150) for laboratory scales, remaining consistent with current experimental bounds while offering a pathway to future falsification. Consistency of multi-component records across causal links requires unitary relational transport whose non-commutativity defines a gauge connection; in manifold-like regimes this transport curvature reproduces Maxwell and Yang–Mills dynamics in the continuum limit. While the theory demonstrates that m-component records naturally generate SU(m) gauge structures through non-commutative transport, the specific selection of SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) as observed in the Standard Model remains a programmatic target for future record-symmetry classification. To extend the framework toward gravitation, IRMT introduces density-biased causal statistics in which record structure perturbs relational spectra and interval structure, establishing a discrete matter–geometry coupling. A variational balance between causal geometry and record-induced torsion is formulated; under spectral convergence to a continuum operator, the associated spectral action recovers the Einstein–Hilbert functional at leading order, defining a conditional pathway toward a relational Einstein equation. The framework therefore interprets geometry as causal statistics, matter as persistent record density, gauge fields as curvature of relational transport, and quantum behavior as unity-conditioned amplitude structure on a discrete causal substrate. While explicit continuum recovery of gravitational and fermionic sectors remains programmatic, the entanglement and gauge results demonstrate that core structures of quantum and gauge physics arise from relational unity constraints, outlining a coherent pathway toward unification grounded in discrete causal geometry and informational ontology.
