ABSSF: An Agreement-Based State-Space Framework for Interpreting Physical Systems Across Scales
Abstract
Modern physics relies on multiple theoretical frameworks that successfully describe phenomena at specific scales, yet remain conceptually fragmented when addressing the relations between quantum mechanics, general relativity, thermodynamics, and measurement. This work introduces the Agreement-Based State-Space Framework (ABSSF), an operational interpretative model in which physical reality is described in terms of admissible states, constraints, and transitions rather than fundamental objects. Within this framework, particles are interpreted as stable trajectories in state space, interactions as quantized permissions for transitions, time as an ordering of realized transitions, and entropy as a measure of accessible configurations. The framework does not propose new physical laws or numerical predictions; instead, it provides a unifying language capable of consistently interpreting phenomena ranging from quantum measurement and confinement to cosmological structures, vacuum behavior, and information flow. ABSSF is intended as a conceptual bridge between existing theories, offering structural clarity while remaining fully compatible with established physical models.
