The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

In both the ϕ³ bubble diagram and the ϕ⁴ tadpole diagram, the short-distance singularities responsible for the usual ultraviolet divergences are regularized by a nonzero smearing width.

C2weakest assumption

Treating the first-order correction to Synge's world function as an operator whose variance directly smears the retarded Green's function (abstract, paragraph on light-cone smearing).

C3one line summary

Graviton quantum fluctuations smear the light cone in a state-dependent way that regularizes UV singularities in scalar field one-loop diagrams.
