TL;DR

This paper develops a pregeometric model of spacetime using uniform spaces to understand quantum non-separability and non-locality, bridging microscopic and macroscopic scales with implications for quantum gravity.

Contribution

It introduces a novel pregeometric framework employing uniform spaces and topological groups to model spacetime neighborhoods at different scales.

Findings

Pregeometry distinguishes microscopic and macroscopic spacetime neighborhoods.

Quantum non-separability is modeled as a contrast between these neighborhoods.

Implications for quantum gravity are discussed.

Abstract

We introduce a pregeometry employing uniform spaces over the denumerable set X of spacetime events. The discrete uniformity D_X over X is used to obtain a pregeometric model of macroscopic spacetime neighborhoods. We then use a uniformity base generated by a topological group structure over X to provide a pregeometric model of microscopic spacetime neighborhoods. Accordingly, quantum non-separability as it pertains to non-locality is understood pregeometrically as a contrast between microscopic spacetime neighborhoods and macroscopic spacetime neighborhoods. A nexus between this pregeometry and conventional spacetime physics is implied per the metric induced by D_X. A metric over the topological group Z2 x ... x Z2 is so generated. Implications for quantum gravity are enumerated.
