Physical Interpretation **What This Proves:** Spacetime is not fundamental in QFD. It emerges as the "visible sector" after selecting an internal rotational degree of freedom B = e₄ ∧ e₅. **The Selection Process:** 1. Start with Cl(3,3) - full 6D geometric arena 2. Choose B = e₄ ∧ e₅ as the "internal quantum phase" 3. Identify "observable" directions = those commuting with B 4. Result: 4D spacetime with signature (+,+,+,-) appears automatically **Key Results Proven:** ✅ Spatial generators {e₀, e₁, e₂} commute with B ✅ Time generator e₃ commutes with B ✅ Internal generators {e₄, e₅} anticommute with B ✅ Emergent signature is (+,+,+,-) - exactly Minkowski space ✅ Time direction e₃ has same geometric properties as momentum (both square to -1) **Why Time Has Negative Signature:** Time is the first momentum direction (e₃). Momentum directions square to -1 in the Cl(3,3) metric. When e₄ and e₅ are "hidden" by the selection of B, e₃ becomes the observable timelike direction. **Experimental Consequence:** If we could "rotate B" (change the internal symmetry axis), the roles of e₃, e₄, e₅ would permute. But this is a "gauge" transformation not observable in 4D physics. This validates QFD's claim: "Spacetime is the shadow of a higher-dimensional geometric algebra, projected by the choice of internal gauge." **Status:** COMPLETE - 0 incomplete proofs placeholders -/ end QFD.SpacetimeEmergence end
