Causal Domains
Definition
Causal Domains are the independent regions, each a universe with its own parameter set defining local physics, that come into being at branch points when Null Wells form.
They are the nodes of the book's deterministic branching architecture: branch points are where Null Well formations create new causal domains, each node carries a unique parameter set, and connectivity rules constrain how information flows between generations, a cosmic genealogy the book likens to computational DNA. Within each domain causal consistency is maintained, binary pulse rules stay invariant, and initial conditions completely determine offspring parameters, while apparent randomness arises from computational complexity. How parameter sets evolve from generation to generation is described by the Master Evolution Equation.
∂Ψ_n/∂τ = H⌂[Ψ_n] + Σ_i C‵[Ψ_{n−1}, ρ_i, S_i] governs them, where Ψ_n is the parameter set for generation n (mixed units), τ is a dimensionless evolutionary parameter, H⌂ is the Hamiltonian for isolated universe evolution, C‵ are coupling terms from parent collapse events, and ρ_i and S_i are the density and entropy at collapse event i.
They connect to Discrete Causal Architecture, Deterministic Elements, Structured Randomness, Master Evolution Equation, Branching Event and Null Well.
