One of the longstanding open questions in theoretical physics concerns the origin of the fundamental constants. Why do quantities such as the speed of light (c), the gravitational constant (G), or Planck’s constant (\hbar) have the values we observe? Are they truly fundamental, or do they emerge from a deeper physical structure?

The No-Time Universe (NTU) framework explores a radical possibility: only a single fundamental geometric scale may be required — the Planck length.

Within NTU, spacetime is not fundamental. Instead, it emerges through the coarse-graining of a discrete, fractal, and initially timeless substrate composed of Planck-scale pre-link structures. In this picture:

• quantum behavior emerges from the stochastic dynamics of microscopic connectivity,

• time emerges from the statistical growth of accessible configurations,

• causality emerges from the stabilization of pre-link closures,

• the speed of light emerges as the asymptotic propagation speed of the causal closure front,

• gravitation emerges from the large-scale rigidity of pre-link surfaces.
