Exploring what discrete causal structure can tell us about fundamental physics.

Research

The Kuratowski Calculus

A framework for discrete spacetime built on causal set theory and graph planarity. The central object is a finite directed acyclic graph whose local topology is constrained by Kuratowski's theorem. The calculus studies what emerges when planarity violations are resolved dynamically.

Discrete Spacetime & Combinatorial Topology

My work sits at the intersection of causal set theory, graph theory, and combinatorics. I study how topological obstructions in finite posets—specifically K₅ and K₃₃ subdivisions—can serve as a dynamical principle, and what physical structure this implies.

Current Direction

The programme explores whether a minimal combinatorial substrate—a Poisson-sprinkled DAG with planarity enforcement—is sufficient to reproduce known physics. Ongoing work includes numerical simulation, formal verification in Lean 4, and the development of a hadron spectrum from Kirchhoff polynomial counting on causal subgraphs.

Computational Tools

FEG_prism

A Rust simulation engine for exploring the Kuratowski Calculus numerically. Each realization passes through Poisson sprinkling, Kuratowski contraction, spectral dimension measurement, and 15 topological measurements (M1–M15). Designed for ensemble statistics at scale—O(N) per realization, deterministic seeding, binary checkpointing.
