TL;DR
This paper develops a materialistic relational theory of space-time grounded in scientific ontology, aligning with General Relativity and emphasizing space-time as emergent from the world's fundamental entities.
Contribution
It introduces a novel relational approach to space-time based on Bunge's ontology, providing a protophysical foundation compatible with General Relativity.
Findings
Space-time is an emergent property of the world's entities.
The theory aligns with the principles of General Relativity.
It offers a materialistic and relational perspective on space-time.
Abstract
Starting from Bunge's (1977) scientific ontology, we expose a materialistic relational theory of space-time, that carries out the program initiated by Leibniz, and provides a protophysical basis consistent with any rigorous formulation of General Relativity. Space-time is constructed from general concepts which are common to any consistent scientific theory and they are interpreted as emergent properties of the greatest assembly of things, namely, the world.
