Detecting Global Monoliths Through Random Walk Interference
Each edge carries a phase phi. When traversing:
Forward (U -> V, where U < V): apply +phi
Backward (U -> V, where U > V): apply -phi (adjoint)
This ensures gauge invariance around closed loops.
After N random walks, we compute the vector sum:
The coherence factor is:
R -> 1.0: All phases align (Global Monolith)
R -> 0.0: Phases cancel (decoherent)
What this simulation captures is a localized demonstration of Emergent Gravity—a theory championed by physicist Erik Verlinde. According to Verlinde, gravity is not a primary force but an entropic effect arising from the way bits of information are "knitted" together through entanglement.
When the Coherence Factor remains high, we measure the "elasticity" of the manifold—what Verlinde calls the "dark" gravitational force that emerges from the displacement of entropy.
This mirrors the Van Raamsdonk hypothesis: entanglement between quantum building blocks acts as the "glue" that creates the continuous experience of macroscopic space.
The simulation demonstrates a Holographic principle. Even as the signal wanders across a complex lattice, the Adjoint Phase Logic acts as a holographic screen.
The global state (Mean Phase Shift) is encoded in the network's collective geometry, making it resistant to the thermal noise of the Lorentzian bath.
By deriving phase purely from connectivity, we confirm that matter is essentially a stable pocket of phase-locked information in an otherwise chaotic graph.
Particles are not things in space; they are the result of coherent information locking within the graph itself—the Spatial Electron.
Entropic Gravity (Verlinde): Gravity as a consequence of information entropy.
It from Qubit (Wheeler/Van Raamsdonk): The universe emerges from underlying bits of quantum information.
Loop Quantum Gravity: Space as "spin networks" where geometry is discrete and emergent.
Does the phase between two points depend on the path taken? Compare a shortest path (~30 hops) vs a random walk (~50,000 steps).
With gauge-consistent phases: identical results. The connection is flat.
How many steps does a random walker need to travel between two random nodes? Measure the hitting time distribution.
The distribution follows an exponential law, revealing diffusive transport on discrete manifolds.
