Interaction-Invariant Physics: A New Foundation Beyond Spacetime (HAOS Framework)An 8-minute animated presentation introducing Interaction-Invariant Physics, an extension of the Hierarchical Adaptive Operational Structures (HAOS) framework.We challenge the assumption that spacetime is fundamental, showing instead that it is an optimized, emergent representation. The talk exposes the deep clash between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics at different scales and diagnoses why current unification efforts fail through “representational collapse.”Key ideas explored:A new empirical test for foundational theories using interaction invariance Why existing paradigms break under perturbation and coherence demands Rebuilding reality from raw interactions without assumed backgrounds Imagining admissible interaction histories Collapsing to coherent, recoverable representations Time as a derived partial order on histories (not fundamental) Causality as a metaphoric principle, not a universal enforcer The “unification mistake” of forcing everything into one representation What becomes possible when we accept our reality is just one of many admissible representations
True physical foundations are not chosen by elegance or mathematical beauty alone—they must survive direct interaction and remain recoverable after perturbation.Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction: Why spacetime isn’t fundamental 00:45 – The clash between GR and QM 01:30 – Representational collapse and theory failures 02:15 – The HAOS empirical test 03:00 – Building from raw interactions 04:00 – Imagining histories and coherence 05:00 – Time as derived partial order 05:45 – Causality reconsidered 06:30 – The unification mistake 07:15 – Broader possibilities and closing thoughtsIllustrated with hand-drawn diagrams and progressive animations.Foundations don’t trend—they wait for direct interaction to reveal what endures.
