Observers Are All You Need: How Observer-Synchronization Creates All of Physics

SMRTR summary

Observer Patch Holography (OPH) attempts to derive all fundamental features of reality from a single premise: observers experience only finite patches of the universe that must remain consistent across overlaps. Starting with holographic screens and overlap constraints, OPH claims to naturally produce 3+1 dimensional spacetime, Einstein gravity, the Standard Model gauge group, and particle masses. The theory has successfully predicted exact masses for W and Z bosons, the Higgs boson, and top quark, while explaining why seemingly arbitrary physics constants emerge naturally from observer consistency requirements.
