Research question
How might a generative account of geometry connect with the vacuum contribution in a gravitational description?
SMM/DTT direction
SMM/DTT motivates a common treatment of vacuum structure, retained geometry, and physical clocks. A quantitative cosmological account must connect that construction with gravitational dynamics and observable scales.
What the construction must establish
Identify the effective equations, units, parameter dependence, and an observational comparison. A conceptual account of the vacuum is not, by itself, a calculated value of the cosmological constant.
