Spacetime as a Universal Regulatory System: An Interpretation of General Relativity Through Four Universal Laws of Nature

Abstract This paper proposes a systems-based interpretation of spacetime grounded in four universal laws: system integrity (karma), balance, feedback, and structured freedom. Rather than treating spacetime as a metaphysical substance or merely a mathematical abstraction, spacetime is interpreted as a law-governed regulatory system that preserves causality, equilibrium, and lawful freedom of motion. This framework does not modify Einstein’s General Relativity but provides a unifying conceptual foundation explaining why spacetime must behave geometrically. Classical and relativistic phenomena—light bending, gravitational time dilation, orbital motion, black holes, and the principle of least action—are reinterpreted as manifestations of universal regulatory behavior common to all stable natural systems.
