Emergent spatial dimensions: SMM/DTT and General relativity
What selects three independently measurable spatial directions, and what additional structure makes those directions into a world containing neighborhoods, distances and matter? This article compares the source-based construction with General relativity, identifies their strongest point of contact, and works through a concrete example that separates a valid mathematical result from the further physical relation needed to explain observations.
