Quantum Free Will Theory: Darwinian Selection of Persistent Quantum Relations, Infinite Fractal Structure, and the Emergence of Spacetime and Fundamental Interactions

Quantum Free Will Theory (QFWT) proposes a unified relational framework in which physical structures emerge through the autonomous choices, competitive interactions, and long-term persistence of quantum constituents. The theory is formulated through four minimal postulates: primordial quantum autonomy, heterogeneous persistence propensity and relational inheritance, Darwinian selection of stable relational organizations, and indefinitely refinable self-similar quantum structure. Rather than prescribing the observed laws of physics as fundamental constraints, the framework investigates how stable physical regularities may arise through the differential survival, repair, and inheritance of competing relational configurations. Within explicit mathematical models, persistence optimization selects a four-constituent protected quantum organization whose commutant algebra admits a candidate construction of Standard-Model-type gauge symmetries. Related constructions address chiral representations, hypercharge consistency, Higgs structures, and the minimum generation count supporting CKM-type CP-violating phases. At the geometric level, relational stability supports the selection of three-dimensional local structures, while embedded two-dimensional configurations and highly connected non-geometric networks may persist in distinct physical roles. The latter provide candidate architectures for long-range quantum entanglement without requiring additional spatial dimensions or superluminal signaling. Gravity is approached through the emergence of effective metric geometry and curvature from collective relational organization, with helicity-two excitations arising as secondary collective modes rather than fundamental gravitational particles. Symmetric competitive dynamics also provide a mechanism by which microscopic autonomous choices can be amplified into macroscopic matter–antimatter relational asymmetry. Finally, the theory proposes that apparently pointlike quantum particles may possess indefinitely refinable internal relational structures. Scale-covariant Darwinian selection then allows statistically self-similar stable organizations to recur across arbitrarily fine levels of resolution. Together, these constructions establish a mathematical research program for exploring the common relational origins of quantum mechanics, spacetime geometry, gauge interactions, and cosmological organization. The proposed identifications with observed physics remain subject to further dynamical derivation and experimental verification.
