BASELINE SURVEY

Evidence movement

Initial observation — no prior comparable baseline linked

Record conceptual motivation separately from absent candidate-specific empirical evidence; retain spacetime and metric as one initial burden.

Why it sits here

Causal sets give an explicit relational starting point and continuum interpretation [S76]. Holographic entanglement links quantum information to connected bulk geometry [S77]. These are substantive comparators, but neither identifies the candidate's proposed organisation. Their existence establishes a serious research landscape, not this mechanism.

Principal uncertainty

The conditional prospect has credible scientific comparators [S76,S77]. The speculative label applies only to an as-yet-unspecified programme instantiation and any claim about actual fundamental spacetime, not to the existence of conditional geometric correspondences. No proposed mechanism is assumed.

What would change the view?

Supply model primitives, permitted inputs, derived metric/locality correspondence, regime of validity and one bounded comparator or physical discriminator before considering deeper review.
