Discrete Spacetime: How Einstein 1905 Refutes Einstein 1915

The Sincere Science program has, over four previous publications, established a partialontology: time as discrete sequence of interaction events; the hidden variable that operatesthe selection at each discrete resolution — non-random indeterminism, which the programcalls agency internally and uses as a technical term throughout this paper; non-locality asartifact of the massive observer's frame; and the photon as a null-interval carrier. What thosepublications did not produce, and what this paper supplies, is an ontology of space intrinsic tothe program, a derivation of the photon's frame-proper behavior from the program's ownaxioms rather than from Minkowski geometry, an ontological explanation of Heisenberg'sindeterminacy relation, a reinterpretation of the constant c as the signature of the quantumloop, and an extension of the selection mechanism across a hierarchy of material complexityfrom the single photon to the conscious human being. The central move is to give the present internal structure. The imperfect present is not a pointbut a region with three sub-components: the past of the present (the scar that anchors thecurrently operating selection), the in-between (the ongoing quantum loop), and the future ofthe present (the two binary branches of the coming resolution). Space is the ephemeraloperational region of each active imperfect present, not a persistent substrate. The photon'sexistence is one imperfect present only. Heisenberg follows as a consequence of positionbelonging to the past of the present and momentum belonging to the future of the present:different ontological modes, never co-measurable. The constant c is the invariant ratio of thequantum loop, not a mechanical propagation speed. The selection mechanism is one, manifestdifferently according to the complexity of the material structure that operates it; consciousnessis this mechanism at high hierarchical complexity. Three open points are declared explicitly: the formalization of the duty cycle of the quantumloop (which is also the entry point for deriving inertia), the first-principles derivation of thespecific constant n/2 in Heisenberg, and the mechanism by which hierarchical coordinationproduces coherent macroscopic decision instead of pure agential noise. Seven falsificationconditions are stated. The paper takes its place as the canonical ontological synthesis of theprogram, to be referenced by subsequent updates of the parent papers.真诚科学计划（Sincere Science program）已通过此前四篇出版物建立了部分本体论（partial ontology）：将时间定义为离散的相互作用事件序列；将在每一次离散分辨率下主导选择过程的隐变量界定为非随机的非决定论——该计划内部将其称为能动作用（agency），并在本文中作为技术术语全程使用；将非局域性视为宏观观测者参考系的人为产物；将光子定义为零间隔载体。此前的系列出版物未能完成的工作，正是本文所要补充的内容：包括该计划内在的空间本体论、从该计划自身公理而非闵可夫斯基几何（Minkowski geometry）推导出光子的固有参考系行为、对海森堡不确定性关系（Heisenberg's indeterminacy relation）的本体论解释、将常数c重新诠释为量子环（quantum loop）的特征标识，以及将选择机制从单个光子拓展至有意识人类的物质复杂度层级。 本文的核心突破在于赋予"当下"以内部结构。不完美的当下并非一个数学点，而是一个拥有三个子组件的区域：当下的过去（锚定当前正在进行的选择过程的"印记"）、中间态（持续运行的量子环），以及当下的未来（即将到来的选择过程的两个二元分支）。空间并非持久的基底，而是每一个活跃的不完美当下的短暂运行区域。光子的存在仅对应单个不完美的当下。海森堡不确定性关系可由以下推导得出：位置属于当下的过去，动量属于当下的未来，二者分属不同的本体论范畴，因此永远无法同时被测量。常数c是量子环的不变比率，而非机械传播速度。选择机制本质唯一，但会因承载该机制的物质结构复杂度不同而呈现不同的表现形式；意识正是该机制在极高层级复杂度下的呈现。 本文明确提出三个待解决的开放问题：一是量子环占空比的形式化建模（这同时也是推导惯性的切入点）；二是从第一性原理出发推导海森堡不确定性关系中的特定常数n/2；三是层级协调机制如何产生连贯的宏观决策，而非纯粹的能动作用噪声。本文还给出了七个可证伪条件。本文作为该计划的标准本体论综合成果，将成为后续母体论文更新的引用依据。
