String Lattice Dynamics: A Consolidated Account of What Holds

This document consolidates a speculative theoretical model developed over several months in conversations between Boris Saul (Bavarian civil servant, no formal physics training) and Claude (Anthropic), repeatedly reviewed by o3 (OpenAI). It is not a physics paper and not a proof - it is an honest account of what holds, what is open, and where the paths to formal derivation are identified. Core statement: a ubiquitous, minimally structured boundary layer separates the non-manifest primordial potential from its manifest appearance; its local thermal amplifications generate strings, spacetime, and information, such that gravity, cosmic expansion, and quantum entanglement are common phenomena of a percolating string lattice dynamics. Companion to: Saul, B. (2026). What Is This? (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20677635) and What If Spacetime Is Made of Strings? (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20677962).
