A Conceptual Framework for Renormalization in Causal Set Theory Inspired by MERA Tensor Network Coarse-Graining
Abstract
Multi-seed N=20,000 numerical confirmation incorporated. Independence approximation correction confirmed across three seeds at +9.95% (level 0), +11.48% (level 2) — seed-independent and an order of magnitude above the Λ residual, confirming it is not the source of the gap. Section 3.1 and Section 4.2 updated with honest three-seed picture. Title updated to "Intrinsic Renormalization in Causal Set Theory: A Bottom-Up Approach to Emergent Spacetime." w = −1 closed as falsifiable prediction. Introduction repositioned against Carlip (2024).
