Description
I will discuss a discretization of Euclidean, weak-field General Relativity allowing the generation of a Markov chain of dynamic, pure gravity spacetimes at non-zero temperature via Metropolis algorithm with importance sampling. A positive action conjecture is implemented on the lattice, ensuring a probabilistic interpretation of exp(-S) and that dS=0 yields the Einstein field equations. Preliminary results demonstrating discretization and finite volume systematic effects will be presented and the coupling of dynamic spacetime to the QCD vacuum will be discussed.
