Pre-Geometric Coarse-Graining Anomalies and Shared Locality - A Substrate Information-Theoretic Derivation of Altered Perceptual States.

Abstract

We formalize the quantum‑to‑classical transition in the Unified Information Substrate (UN Theory) under the scale‑dependent coarse‑graining parameter §. In the macroscopic classical limit, the observer subgraph operates in a high‑§ regime where pointer‑state rigidity is maximized, projecting a smooth 3+1D Lorentzian metric as the coincidence‑limit Hessian of the logarithmic correlation distance d(x,x') = −ln(I/I₀). This paper demonstrates that chemical or metabolic disruptions of pointer‑state stability (δ²T₀ < 0) induce a catastrophic localized collapse of the coarse‑graining scale (§ → micro), dissolving the classical metric projection and exposing the raw, discrete bi‑local correlation kernel I(x,x'). We show that observers sharing a localized correlation block become topologically bound to read the identical pre‑geometric kernel, resolving the long‑standing anomaly of shared altered states (including those induced by N,N‑Dimethyltryptamine) without violating relativistic locality. By integrating this cognitive boundary‑layer collapse with the wider Sovereign Octology — including the scale‑invariant parity‑odd cosmic trispectrum and Planck‑scale singularity dissolution — we establish that altered states are not hallucinations but direct, unfiltered observations of the substrate’s pre‑geometric correlation engine.
