The Substrate Resonance Model: Measurement, Probability, and Particle Identity from a Dynamical Spacetime Substrate

Key Points

• This work aims to present a model that explains how spacetime's dynamics influence particle identity and measurement outcomes.
• Introduces the Substrate Resonance Model (SRM) as a framework for analyzing spacetime dynamics.
• Derives the Born rule from fundamental principles.
• Explores the connections between measurement, particle identity, and gravitational entropy.
• Proposes a reconciliation-based account of measurement outcomes.
• Demonstrates how stable resonant excitations in spacetime correspond to particle identity.
• Establishes the Born rule as an invariant measure in this framework.
