Vacuum Configuration, Resolution, and Event Formation: A Constraint-Driven Framework

ABSTRACT This article proposes a framework in which physical reality is not fundamentally composed of events, but of configurations existing in a higher-dimensional domain. Events arise only when configurations satisfy constraint conditions through a process termed resolution. Resolution functions analogously to computation, not as an external operation but as an intrinsic process of consistency enforcement. The framework introduces a two-phase structure: resolution occurs at the level of configuration and is expressed as events in spacetime. This approach avoids reliance on observer-based interpretations and rejects the notion that reality is pre-written or passively stored. Instead, reality is continuously formed through constraint-driven configuration realization. Existing physical theory strongly suggests this structure, even if an explicit formulation has not yet been derived. In particular, current equations appear to implicitly contain resolution while not explicitly describing it. Connections are drawn to known threshold phenomena in physics, including the photoelectric effect, and to established constraint structures in relativity and quantum theory.
