Null Structure
The causal structure on a Lorentzian manifold formed by null vectors; the existence of a null geodesic connecting two points implies that a causal link can be established via light signals, and in Minkowski spacetime it fully determines the light-cone partition and causal reachability relations.

A study titled "Spacetime Emergence in the Memory of a Learning Agent" shows that by training a model-based reinforcement learning agent to complete a quantum information task, the null structure of spacetime can spontaneously emerge from the agent's internal predictive model.
The null structure is the causal structure on a Lorentzian manifold formed by null vectors (light-speed vectors); in Minkowski spacetime, the null structure fully determines the division of light cones, thereby defining the causal reachability relations of events.
The singularities of the two-point correlation functions of free fields (such as the Wightman function) are distributed exactly along null geodesics, so the null structure is "imprinted" in the quantum correlations and becomes a signal that can be learned.
