“…This way, the possible paths (à la Path Integral) of a quantum particle (relativistic to best observe it) reflects such random jumps and walks (within the uncertainty region where supra luminosity is not an issue) including possible tunneling from a non-zero wavefunction region to another associated to same particle. It is also well known that effects like the Lamb Shift [21][22][23] are due to the size of the electron charge distribution or the time it spends close or within the nucleus; something that explains in particular the difference between hydrogen lamb shift and Muonic Hydrogen lamb shift (See for example [24]). Therefore, at least in a multi-fold universe, quantum models like a particle wave function (and a QFT field with suitable handling of particles à la [1]) actually model such random walk and tunneling: the particle can be located anywhere that its wave function is non zero, stay or move (jump, walk or tunnel) at clock ticks (see [1,25] for a discussion of its minimum length in multi-fold universes) to another location with a probability to jump at one location versus another dictated by the probabilities behind the wave function density (which is the probability that it be there at that exact moment).…”

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in between entangled particles that they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General relativity at large scales and semi-classical model remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model (SM) without new Physics other than gravity. These considerations hints at a even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model.The E/G duality, between entanglement and gravity, opens the door to postulate additional gravity-like effects and multi-fold mechanisms among spacetime points covered by a quantum wave functions or by Quantum Fields. These are plausible by-products of the multi-fold mechanisms, not necessarily mandated, or derived by our work so far, captured in an hypothetical new class of multi-fold universe denoted as W-type. It is the W-type hypothesis. In a W-type of multi-fold universe, we argue that we can explain the Born rule (on a discrete spacetime) without discussing measurements, or instantaneous wave function collapses as well as address the measurements problem, Wigner’s friend paradoxes, and the classical aspects of macroscopic Physics vs. the quantum Physics at microscopic level. It amounts to positioning a new candidate for interpretation of Quantum Physics, while still remaining compatible with existing interpretations (unfortunately as it does not exclude any). The W-type hypothesis leads also to a better understanding of the irreversibility of Physics, confirms it and indicate that W-Type multi-fold models, including the Multi-fold reconstruction, seem candidates to a more fundamental theory from which Quantum Physics emerges. It motivates also the duality between Entropy and Physical Action even for a single particle. Also, it reminds of the ergodic hypothesis of Boltzmann.
