Abstract

This article introduces the GA-NE model (Large-Scale Activation of the Non-Existent), a conceptual framework addressing the origin of space, time, matter, and classical reality. The model is based on the assumption that neither spacetime nor physical entities are fundamental. Instead, it postulates a prior ontological category of pure possibility, referred to as the space of possibilities. Physical reality emerges through local and global activations of this possibility, interpreted as quantum-field-like fluctuations without a presupposed spacetime background. The Big Bang is understood not as an event within time, but as a large-scale activation of possibility itself. Dynamics is described as continuous local updating of field configurations, driven by physical observables such as momentum, rather than by a fundamental time parameter. The universe is treated as a globally coherent quantum system in which classical structures arise through decoherence, forming localized “classical islands.” Space, time, and gravitation are interpreted as effective descriptions of these processes. The GA-NE model does not claim to be a complete physical theory, but offers a coherent ontological perspective intended to clarify foundational concepts and guide further theoretical development.
