## TL;DR

This paper proposes a quantum mesh model as a pre-geometry for spacetime, from which gravity and Newtonian dynamics naturally emerge, and shows preliminary experimental agreement with galactic rotation data.

## Contribution

It introduces a quantum mesh framework for spacetime that derives gravity and Newtonian physics, connecting quantum pre-geometry to classical gravity.

## Key findings

- Emergence of gravity equations with a Yukawa term at cosmic scales
- Preliminary data from Spitzer telescope supports galactic rotation curve predictions
- Discussion on how the model approaches classical General Relativity in low-energy limits

## Abstract

A consistent quantum theory of gravity has remained elusive ever since the emergence of General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory. Attempts to date have not yielded a candidate that is either free from problematic theoretical inconsistencies, falsifiable by experiment, or both. At the heart of all approaches though the difficult question of what it means for spacetime itself to be quantized, and how that can affect physics, has not been addressed. In recent years a number of proposals have been made to address the quantum structure of spacetime, and in particular how geometry and locality can emerge as the Universe cools. Quantum Graphity is perhaps the best known of these, but still does not connect the emerged quantized spacetime to dynamics or gravity. In this paper we start from a quantized mesh as the pre-geometry of space time and identify that informationally and in a very natural sense, the natural laws of gravity and Newtonian dynamics emerge. The resultant equations of gravity have a Yukawa term that operates at cosmic scale ($10^{18}$ meters), and we use data from the Spitzer space telescope to investigate experimental agreement of the galactic rotation curves with encouraging results. We conclude by discussing how this pre-geometry could result in the classical covariant constructs of General Relativity in the low energy continuum limit.
