A Falsifiable Record-Dynamical Framework for Emergent Causal Geometry from Higher-Order Plaquette Structure

We formulate an experimentally testable program in which matter, collective dynamics, causal structure, and effective spacetime geometry are reconstructed from persistent physical records rather than taken as primitive continuum ingredients. The program is motivated by structured multi-qubit telemetry and higher-order plaquette organization. An earlier manuscript interpreted such structure as evidence for a nonlinear quantum-error-correction feedback mechanism, a topological bounce, and a microscopic origin of the cosmological constant. The present paper deliberately narrows those claims: these mechanisms are treated as hypotheses whose validity must be established by time-resolved physical data and preregistered reconstruction tests. The central object is a native record state R_n reconstructed from raw measurements without importing gravitational, quantum, or continuum-geometric assumptions. From acquisition-ordered trajectories we reconstruct a transition operator T_N(tau), test finite-state sufficiency, conditional memory, stationarity, Chapman-Kolmogorov composition, and constrained continuous-time embeddability. Where a reversible sector exists, a compatible weighted inner product and complex structure are sought rather than assumed. An independently reconstructed energy Hessian provides a cross-check of the native dynamical spectrum. The infrared program searches for an extended, stable mode with measured dispersion omega^2(k)=m_eff^2+A k^p+..., with m_eff^2 tending to zero and p tending to two, together with an independent static susceptibility chi(k) proportional to 1/(Z k^2). A nonzero long-wavelength source overlap and an energy-proportional source are required before an inverse-distance interaction or a native gravitational coupling can be derived. If these conditions are satisfied, measured characteristic surfaces are tested for representation by a single Lorentzian metric equivalence class [g_eff]. Redshift, Shapiro delay, light deflection, perihelion advance, and universality of free fall then become blind validation targets of one frozen native construction. The present manuscript therefore does not claim a completed theory of quantum gravity. It defines a falsifiable experimental route from microscopic physical records to possible emergent geometry and identifies the empirical boundary at which the proposed construction remains underdetermined.
