"Space" and "Time" are emergent counts of substrate updates. ## RRT alignment In [[Relational Resolution Theory (RRT)]]: - **[[Proper Time]] ($\tau$):** The local refresh interval of any system's relations - **[[Translation]] ($\rightarrow$):** The irreversible mechanism of change; every change is an **[[Event]]** - Time is not a background; it is the duration between discrete translations ## RST identification | RRT | RST | |:---|:---| | Translation | The refresh cycle (each discrete update) | | Proper Time ($\tau$) | Local refresh interval → **[[Refresh Burden]]** | | Events | Discrete substrate updates; emergent spacetime | ## Derived concepts - **Relational cooling** — $N_0$ = graph density; drives Pure Axiom evolution - **Drive step** — add edges (A3 translation); age=0 exempt one cycle - **Emergent space** — each Translation step may correspond to a quantum of physical space --- *Full axiom set: [[RST Baseline 1.0]], [[Relational Resolution Theory (RRT)]]*
