Why does anything move at all?
Things move because every object is a pattern rebuilt at each event, and each rebuilding can land one step along. Nothing material travels. A ball is rebuilt from fresh records at each place, the way a wave crosses a lake while the water only bobs. The number a pattern hands from step to step is its momentum, and on an undisturbed chain of readings every segment carries the same number. Keeping going costs nothing extra, because the upkeep, which is the mass, is paid whether the pattern travels or sits. A force is a difference between readings at neighboring points. A pattern on such a slope is rebuilt slightly off-center each cycle, toward the steep side, and it accelerates exactly where a repair, the step where neighbors settle a disagreement, is owed. In letters, F = ma.

This answer comes from OPH, Observer Patch Holography. OPH is a rigorous, consistent and complete description of the unified, self-creating computational Universe we inhabit. Its consistency is machine-checked: the fixed point at its core is constructed explicitly, and a theory with a model contains no contradiction.
To understand OPH and check every step yourself, start with the free book Reverse Engineering Reality. It builds the theory from the ground up, and the OPH Notebook answers your questions while you read.
