Quantum Vacuum

Temporal Sedimentation
A significant, though often neglected, property is the phenomenon of temporal sedimentation within the vacuum substrate. This posits that regions of the vacuum exhibiting higher localized substrate refractive indices ($\mu_{\Sigma}$) cause a measurable delay in the propagation of interacting field quanta, as described by the Cosmic Delay Constraint equation 1.

Quantum Vacuum

$$\tauv = \frac{c^4}{32\pi G} \cdot \left( \frac{M{Pl}^2}{\Lambda_{\text{observed}}} \right)^2$$
If $\tau_v$ were perfectly zero, causality would collapse, leading to instantaneous information transfer across all spatial separations, contradicting the observed Cosmic Delay Constraint 1.
