Metamatter and the Phase Origin of Classical Matter and Spacetime

We propose a phase-based framework for the origin of classical matter, space, and time grounded in the concept of metamatter and its ensemble, fractal dynamics. In contrast to standard approaches, spacetime is not postulated as a fundamental background but emerges as an effective regime of partial actualization resulting from a sequence of phase transitions. The theory is formulated in terms of competing entropy and negentropy contributions unified by an effective phase functional which governs the direction of evolution, self-organization, and the selection of stable regimes through dissipation. Within this framework, quantum mechanics, nonlocality, entanglement, dark matter, dark energy, and gravity are interpreted as manifestations of different phases or projections of the same underlying ensemble dynamics. Holography, black holes, and cosmological limits are described as boundary or reverse phase regimes in which local spacetime description breaks down while information remains preserved beyond geometric representation. The resulting phase cycle provides a unified picture of cosmological evolution and its limiting states. The proposed scheme does not constitute a complete field theory but establishes a rigorous ontological and formal foundation for its future construction, offering a coherent pre-field-theoretic framework for the fractal dynamics of matter.
