Interaction-Invariant Physics: Going Deeper – Foundations of Reality Without Space or TimeWhat if spacetime isn't fundamental? What if the laws of physics aren't "discovered" but unavoidable compressions of interaction histories that survive perturbation?In this deeper exploration (building on the introductory HAOS framework and Interaction-Invariant Physics), we strip reality to its absolute core: one rule – Survival (S) through recoverable coherence under interaction.Using hand-drawn animations, we rebuild key concepts from raw interaction invariants:Energy & Mass as inertial capacity for coherence recovery Time as emergent order (without clocks) Entropy, causality, and the arrow of time The quantum-classical divide as different representational regimes Measurement as the moment a representation loses interference with alternatives
Physics emerges not from primitives like space or time, but from what endures when imagination meets the ultimate filter: interaction.This is speculative foundational physics at the harmonic edge of art, mind, and reality – substrate-agnostic, operational, and imagination-first.Key Takeaways:Physics is any set of arbitrary rules where the logic of any system can survive perturbation. Space, time, mass, and energy are emergent compressions. Quantum and classical are different (valid) representational regimes of the same underlying interactions. Are the laws of physics discovered... or unavoidable?
