Description: As of today, Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and General Relativity (GR) are broadly recognized paradigms of foundational physics. However, there are growing suspicions that both paradigms fail to hold somewhere above the Standard Model scale and in the realm of primordial cosmology. Evidence collected on multiple fronts indicates that emergence and complexity are universal features of far-from-equilibrium systems having many degrees of freedom. In line with these findings, Part 1 of this report explores the complex dynamics of evolving dimensional fluctuations beyond the Standard Model scale. Part 2 outlines the role of complex dynamics in the nonintegrable sector of particle physics, Dark Matter condensation and the gravitational regime of the early Universe.
