Emergent Quantisation from Redistribution Microstructure: A ψ₀–OCM Mechanism Linking Quantum Field Theory and Classical Gravity

This work develops a mechanistic framework within the ψ₀–OCM (Osborne Cosmological Model) in which quantised gravitational behaviour emerges from redistribution microstructure in the primordial generative substrate ψ₀. Instead of postulating gravity as a fundamentally quantised field with an elementary graviton degree of freedom, the framework treats quantised curvature behaviour as an emergent regime produced by partially unresolved redistribution dynamics together with stabilisation and admissibility thresholds in the ψ₀ substrate. The model preserves locality, relativistic causality, and recovery of the classical General Relativity limit under coarse-graining. Discrete curvature behaviour appears when redistribution microstructure remains unresolved enough to stay dynamically operative in the effective description, whereas classical gravitational dynamics arise as the macroscopic curvature response once stabilisation completes and unresolved microstructure is averaged out. The paper formalises this mechanism through structural postulates, reduction arguments, and regime-based theorems linking redistribution dynamics, stabilised node formation, admissibility structure, and emergent curvature behaviour. It therefore provides a mechanistic bridge between quantum field theoretic regimes and classical gravitation without requiring a fundamental graviton field. Potential observable consequences include resolution-dependent curvature behaviour, microstructure-induced deviations in strong-field regimes, and scale-dependent suppression of graviton-like collective modes. The framework thus offers a structured pathway for connecting substrate-level quantum microstructure models with macroscopic gravitational dynamics while preserving the empirically validated effective limits of both quantum field theory and General Relativity.
