Abstract

We present an extension of reference frame democracy to relativistic physics and quantum gravity, exploring how quantum field theory might emerge from classical mechanics through Lorentz frame integration. Starting from the principle that physics should be invariant under arbitrary reference frame transformations, we investigate whether quantum mechanics could emerge as the Fourier transform of classical mechanics over all possible frames. Extending from Galilean to Lorentz transformations appears to yield quantum field theory, with the Klein-Gordon propagator arising from boost integration and QED Feynman rules from frame-democratic path integrals. We explore three fundamental challenges: (1) Whether quantum gravity could emerge as reference frame crystallization at the Planck scale; (2) How fermion statistics might arise from the topology of frame rotations; (3) Whether the measurement problem could resolve through environmental frame pinning. The framework suggests specific experimental predictions including modified uncertainty relations and gravitational phase shifts in quantum interference. This work explores whether all fundamental physics -particles, forces, and spacetime itself- might emerge from the democratic superposition of reference frame perspectives.
