Abstract

The hierarchy and qualitative differences between fundamental interactions remain one of the most striking features of modern physics. While quantum field theory successfully describes interactions through gauge symmetries and coupling constants, it does not provide an intuitive structural reason why entanglement exhibits effectively nonlocal correlations, why nuclear forces are extremely strong yet short-ranged, why electromagnetism operates in three spatial dimensions, and why gravity is extraordinarily weak. This work proposes that interaction strength and behavior can be understood through the concept of effective topological dimensionality of connectivity in an underlying interaction graph. Different interactions correspond to processes constrained to different effective dimensions of this graph. Entanglement behaves as a one-dimensional connectivity channel, nuclear and atomic stability emerge from effectively two-dimensional confinement, electromagnetism operates in three dimensions, and gravity reflects a highly diluted high-dimensional connectivity. This perspective provides a unified structural explanation for interaction hierarchy without introducing new particles or modifying known physical laws.
