Emergent Mass from 10D Compactified Topology of Discrete Coordinate Networks in a Presentist Temporal Metric

We propose a novel framework for quantum gravity and particle mass generation by abandoningcontinuous spacetime manifolds in favor of a primary, discrete coordinate network (graph) operatingon the Planck scale. Gravitational dynamics and relativistic time dilation are formulated not aspseudo-Riemannian geometry, but as emergent information-theoretic phenomena resulting fromthe localized saturation of network nodes by energy-momentum density, extending the principlesof Verlinde’s entropic gravity. Utilizing a presentist temporal metric (the “Erasing Instant”),we resolve fundamental causality paradoxes by demonstrating that the past and future have nophysical objective existence, reducing temporal evolution to an irreversible, localized rewrite ofnetwork states. Finally, we derive the exact rest mass of the electron (me) directly from the 10-dimensional compactified Hausdorff-topological volume of a localized wave packet on the graphwithout fine-tuned parameters
