Gravity and the fabric of space itself aren't 'real'—they are just side effects of how information is linked together at the smallest scale.

Correlation Geometry and Emergent Einstein Gravity from a Tensor Substrate
SSRN · 6284638
The Takeaway
This model proposes that Einstein's gravity emerges from the correlation structure of a 'tensor substrate.' It suggests that space-time is not a container we live in, but a geometric 'afterimage' of quantum information being shared between particles.
From the abstract
This paper develops a minimal tensor-network model in which spacetime geometry is not fundamental but emerges from correlation structure. Coarse-graining defines an ordering parameter that plays the role of renormalization depth rather than physical time. Irreversible spectral transfer between fast and slow velocity sectors generates a logistic phase-flow equation governing the fraction of short-range correlations. The corresponding phase-flow rate is expressed in terms of microscopic couplings,
