Complex Dynamics as Foundation of Relativistic Spacetime
Abstract
We explore the idea that Minkowski spacetime and the principle of locality reflect the asymptotic properties of self-organized criticality (SOC). Both properties arise from demanding that the scaling behavior of space and time coordinates follows the power-law distribution of Gaussian random walks.
