Abstract

This preprint presents a computational study of how physical-law–like regimes emerge from competing pre-geometric constraints. Using ensemble simulations, the work demonstrates that stable, geometric universes are rare under random initial conditions. Two distinct law attractors consistently arise: stability-dominant regimes characterized by strong symmetry and conservation, and observability-dominant regimes that guarantee observer emergence but exhibit reduced long-term stability. Our-universe-like laws belong to the stability-maximizing class, in which spacetime geometry and conservation laws crystallize first, while observers emerge later as a non-fundamental consequence of long-term persistence. The Big Bang is reinterpreted as the crystallization point at which stability-maximizing constraints become fixed, rather than as a temporal origin. These results provide a computational explanation for fine-tuning and the emergence of physical law without invoking anthropic selection or observer-driven causation.
