All,
I want to try to state my model of how spacetime is created by quantum events more
clearly and succinctly.
Begin by Imagining a world in which everything is computational. In particular where the
usually imagined single pre-existing dimensional spacetime background does NOT exist.
Now consider how we can get a spacetime to emerge from the computations in a way that
conceptually unifies GR and QM, eliminates all quantum 'paradoxes', and explains the
source of quantum randomness in the world.
There is an easy straightforward way though it takes a little effort to understand, and
one must first set aside some common sense notions about reality.
Assume a basic computation that occurs is the conservation of particle properties in
any particle interaction in comp space.
The conservation of particle properties essentially takes the amounts of all particle
properties of incoming particles and redistributes them among the outgoing particles in
every particle interaction.
The results of such computational events is that the particle properties of all outgoing
particles of every event are interrelated. They have to be to be conserved in toto. This
is called 'entanglement'. The outgoing particles of every event are always entangled on
the particle properties conserved in that event.
Now some particle properties (spin, mass, energy) are dimensional particle properties.
These are entangled too by particle interaction events. In other words, all dimensional
particle properties between the outgoing particles of every event are interrelated. They
have to be for them to be conserved. These relationships are exact. They must be to
satisfy the conservation laws.
Now assume every such dimensional entanglement effectively creates a spacetime point,
defined as a dimensional interrelationship.
"Dimensional" seems to have just been thrown in with no real meaning. What is needed is
an operational definition of interval between two such "point".
Now assume those particles keep interacting with other particles. The result will be an
ever expanding network of dimensional interrelationships which in effect creates a mini
spacetime manifold of dimensional interrelations.
But you need to show the definition of interval produces a 3+1 spacetime.
Now assume a human observer at the classical level which is continuously involved in
myriads of particle interaction (e.g. millions of photons impinging on its retina). The
effect will be that all those continuous particle events will result in a vast network
of dimensional interrelationships that is perceived by the human observer as a classical
spacetime.
He cannot observe any actual empty space because it doesn't actually exist. All that he
can actually observe is actual events with dimensional relationships to him. Now the
structure that emerges, due to the math of the particle property conservation laws in
aggregate, is consistent and manifests at the classical level as the structure of our
familiar spacetime.
But this, like all aspects of the classical 'physical' world, is actually a
computational illusion. This classical spacetime doesn't actually exist. It must be
continually maintained by myriads of continuing quantum events or it instantly vanishes
back into the computational reality from which it emerged.
Now an absolutely critical point in understand how this model conceptually unifies GR
and QM and eliminates quantum paradox is that every mini-spacetime network that emerges
from quantum events
Hold it!? A mini-spacetime network consists of interaction events that must be related in
some way to form a network. So how can the network be "abosultely" independent of other
networks? They might even share some of the same events.
is absolutely independent of all others (a completely separate space) UNTIL it is linked
and aligned with other networks through some common quantum event. When that occurs, and
only then, all alignments of both networks are resolved into a single spacetime common
to all its elements.
This requires that the intervals between events arise or be induced and that they form a
3+1 spacetime. What are the dynamics of this process?

E.g. in the spin entanglement 'paradox'. When the particles are created their spins are
exactly equal and opposite to each other, but only in their own frame in their own mini
spacetime. They have to be to obey the conservation laws. That is why their orientation
is unknowable to a human observer in his UNconnected spacetime frame of the laboratory.
However when the spin of one particle is measured that event links and aligns the
mini-spacetime of the particles with the spacetime of the laboratory and that makes the
spin orientations of both particles aligned with that of the laboratory and thereafter
the spin orientation of the other particle will always be found equal and opposite to
that of the first.
There is no FTL communication, there is no 'non-locality', there is no 'paradox'. It all
depends on the recognition that the spin orientations of the particles exist in a
completely separate unaligned spacetime fragment from that of the laboratory until they
are linked and aligned via a measurement event.
