Abstract

We study information flow on a weighted graph whose topology evolves according to a spectral curvature measure R\mathcal{R}. The model (FIU) defines R\mathcal{R} from the diagonal of the graph Green function, propagates energy with curvature-dependent dissipation, and creates long-range links between high-R\mathcal{R} nodes at a rate controlled by a coupling parameter gg. We report three results. First, the system exhibits a sharp phase transition at gc0.023g_c \approx 0.023: below gcg_c, local information flux σ\sigma and structure formation are anti-correlated; above gcg_c, they become strongly correlated (Pearson r0.75r \approx 0.75, p<1038p < 10^{-38}), with signatures of a continuous transition and mean-field exponent ν0.54\nu \approx 0.54. Second, we identify a node-level discrete Poisson relation 2R(i)=κσprev(i)\nabla^2\mathcal{R}(i) = \kappa\,\sigma_{\rm prev}(i), where κ\kappa is stable across parameters (CV =3.1%= 3.1\% across independent configurations). Mediator analysis reveals this correlation is almost entirely mediated by R\mathcal{R} itself, identifying it as the central self-organizing variable. Third, the Poisson relation exhibits spontaneous dimensional sensitivity: in 2D lattices both signals decay for N576N \gtrsim 576, while in 3D they persist to N1728N \lesssim 1728. This emerges without any dimensional parameter in the rules. The collapse mechanism is curvature homogenization at large NN. We interpret this as topological frustration in a mesoscopic regime, and discuss analogies with dimensional signatures of gravity.
