Signed Relational Contributions and Emergent Gravity–Time — Closed Track (v12-Final)

This document presents the final archival version of a closed research track on signed relational contributions and the emergence of gravity–time from global consistency constraints. It develops a discrete relational framework based on signed weighted networks, a consistency functional, and associated Laplacian operators, and explores their numerical behavior through toy-model simulations and preliminary continuum-limit diagnostics. The track is preserved as a foundational but superseded line of inquiry, succeeded by a two-point (Green-function) continuum formulation developed in later work.
