A G. Bianconi: Gravity from Entropy

So as I read correct the first paper describes an lorentzian spacetime and the second describes an discrete spacetime from higher order networks.

Both documents use an entropy–based variational principle in which the gravitational dynamics
(or network geometry dynamics in the discrete case) arise from a quantum relative entropy
between a default (or bare) metric and an induced metric determined by matter (and gauge)
fields. The continuum version formulates these ideas in the language of differential geometry and
field theory, while the discrete version adapts them to the combinatorial and algebraic setting
of higher–order networks. In both cases the formalism is consistent and the derived equations
(Einstein equations, Klein–Gordon and Dirac equations) are recovered in appropriate limits.

The discrete version leads to the Dirac- and Klein-Gordon-Equotation and the continuum version leads to macroscopic spacetime of the RT. Is this right?

I came across the following paper by Mir Faizal, Lawrence M Krauss, Arshid Shabir, and Francesco Marino from BC. Consequences of Undecidability in Physics on the Theory of Everything Abstract General relativity treats spacetime as dynamical and exhibits its breakdown at singularities‎. ‎This failure is interpreted as evidence that quantum gravity is not a theory formulated {within} spacetime; instead‎, ‎it must explain the very {emergence} of spacetime from deeper quantum degrees of...
