The reconciliation of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a challenge in theoretical physics. The lack of a complete, microscopically derived, and UV-complete framework bridging quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The fundamental frontier in contemporary theoretical physics is defined by an intractable epistemological rupture between General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Mechanics (QM). The pursuit of a Theory of Everything (ToE) has traditionally relied on attempts to mathematically unify these paradigms. The DA-HTGN framework provides a new approach to resolving this rupture.

The paper identifies a gap in the understanding of the role of Poisson's equation in General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The Theory of Objectivity proposes a pre-metric modal origin of the universe, which is distinct from other theories.

The traditional approach to Quantum Gravity often appears as incompatibility, singularity breakdown, renormalisation instability, mathematical divergence, and scale-collapse failure. The need for a new perspective on the Quantum Gravity problem. The lack of a framework for continuity translation between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

The prevailing models of cosmology and theoretical physics rely on problematic assumptions about spacetime and time. These assumptions encounter mathematical friction when attempts are made to unify them into a cohesive quantum gravity framework.
