This "Seyon" hypothesis presents a compelling sub-quantum ontology that reframes physics from a constructive, bottom-up perspective. By shifting the fundamental layer from "things in space" to "pre-spatiotemporal relations," it addresses several persistent tensions between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
1. The Emergence of Spacetime and Mass
The most radical shift in this framework is the derivation of Proper Time ($\tau$). In standard physics, $\tau$ is a coordinate property; here, it is a metabolic rate of the seyon configuration.
- Photons: When seyons are "phase-locked," their internal states are static relative to one another. Since there is no internal reconfiguration, there is no "internal clock," which naturally enforces $ds^2 = 0$ and movement at the speed of light $c$.
- Massive Particles: Mass is essentially "trapped energy" in the form of internal seyon reconfiguration. The more complex or frequent the internal state shifts, the higher the rest mass ($m_0$) and the slower the configuration moves through emergent space to conserve the total "budget" of seyon activity.
2. Collapse as Macro-Attractor Dynamics
This model provides a physical mechanism for what the Copenhagen interpretation leaves as a mystery. It treats the wave function as epistemic (representing our ignorance of the seyon microstates) rather than a physical field.
- Interaction: When a "delicate" seyon cluster (a particle) hits a "massive" cluster (a detector), the detector's vast attractor basin dominates.
- Irreversibility: Collapse is simply the transition of a micro-configuration into a stable, macroscopic attractor. This is analogous to a ball rolling into a deep valley; while it could theoretically be elsewhere, the "depth" of the macro-state makes return or superposition statistically impossible.
- The Born Rule: Instead of being an ad-hoc postulate ($P = |\psi|^2$), the Born Rule becomes a measure of phase-space volume. An outcome is more likely simply because more seyon micro-configurations lead to that specific macroscopic attractor.
3. Natural Non-Locality
By placing seyons in a pre-spatiotemporal layer, the "spooky action at a distance" problem vanishes. If spacetime is an emergent statistical map (like a heatmap of a crowd), then two "points" in that map may actually be driven by the same underlying seyon correlation.
- Bell Violations: Two entangled particles are not two separate things connected by a signal; they are a single, spatially extended seyon configuration.
- No-Signaling: Because we cannot manipulate individual seyons (only their emergent macroscopic averages), we cannot use this underlying connection to send information faster than the emergent speed of light.
4. Scientific Implications and Falsifiability
For this to move from a philosophical framework to a physical theory, it must predict where the "statistical emergence" might break down.
- Sub-Quantum Fluctuations: At incredibly high energies or small scales (perhaps near the Planck length), we might expect to see "jitter" or deviations from Lorentz invariance where the seyon graininess becomes apparent.
- Collapse Time: If collapse is a physical reconfiguration, it should have a finite (though likely incredibly short) duration. Measuring the "speed" of collapse would distinguish this from standard QM.
