Gravity from Information Geometry: A Lean 4 Formalization of Emergent Spacetime (academia.edu)
3 points by kristintynski 30 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments


We have presented a formally verified Lean4 proof that gravity emerges from information geometry.

The key insights: 1. The spacetime metric g µν is derived from a coherence field Ψ : M → Cl(3, 1)

2. Einstein’s equations emerge from coherence dynamics

3. No gravitons are required; gravity is effective, not fundamental

4. The golden ratio φ provides natural UV regularization

5. The entire framework is mechanically verified in Lean 4 Gravity is not a fundamental force to be quantized. It is an emergent phenomenon arising from information-geometry backreaction of a coherence field valued in the Clifford algebra Cl(3, 1). The mathematics is governed by a single self-consistency principle: the golden ratio φ 2 = φ + 1.

I'd be curious to hear what you think of: New Framework Proposes Spacetime as an Emergent Irreversible Information Process https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46674020


You should compare notes with this guy, who derived everything with pi instead of the golden ratio:

Paywall. Unfortunately, in this day-and-age, the question arises: how much of this was generated by AI agents?

For me, at least with desktop Firefox with uBlockOrigin, I can scroll through the full 17 pages to the bottom. Without having to 'login' with/via whomever.
