Abstract
A simple general system is defined that has exactly three properties: the system is non-continuous, non-deterministic, and has a well-defined, consistent metric. It is asserted that many of the basic concepts, principles, and equations of quantum mechanics and classical mechanics, including those of special and general relativity, are derivable, and indeed are unavoidably emergent from first principles given these three properties, and these three properties only.
