Hypergraph Universe — Emergent Spacetime

A discrete 'digital physics' model: a graph grows under a local rewriting rule, and its own connectivity is used to estimate an emergent spatial dimension — space and geometry arising from computation.

Instead of starting from space and placing particles in it, this simulation starts from nothing but a small graph and a local rewriting rule — an idea explored seriously in "digital physics" and the Wolfram model of fundamental physics. Watching the graph unfold, space itself seems to appear: distance, neighbourhoods and even a measurable dimension all emerge purely from how the graph's connectivity grows, with no coordinates ever written into the rule. A live breadth-first-search dimension estimate shows this "emergent geometry" as a single number that updates as the universe grows.

⚙ Under the hood

A discrete 'digital physics' model where a hypergraph grows by a local rewriting rule, and the graph's own connectivity is used to estimate an emergent spatial dimension — illustrating how space and geometry can arise from computation rather than being built in from the start.
