The Self-Referential Light Universe: An Emergent Quantum Gravity Framework from U(1) Gauge Fields on Spin Networks

Authors: Holger Troitzschel

This paper introduces a self-referential cosmological framework in which spacetime ge-ometry, matter, and gravitational interactions are proposed to emerge exclusively from theself-observation of quantized electromagnetic fields. By coupling U(1) gauge fields directlyto the discrete graph structure of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), a non-linear feedback loopbetween energy density and spatial volume is established. We define a quantum Hamil-tonian operator for light acting on spin-network states and argue that electromagnetic fluxexcitations can alter geometric quantum numbers. In addition, we explore whether fermionicmatter can emerge as topological braids of light ribbons. Physical implications are discussed,including a possible resolution of singularities via a stable "Quantum Geon" configuration,as well as testable predictions concerning alternatives to particle dark matter and signatures in primordial gravitational waves.
