The Fabric of Spacetime: A Computational Motifs Test on Gravity in Temporal Flow Physics By John Gavel Introduction: The Quest for Emergent Gravity For years, physicists have sought a unified theory that explains how spacetime and quantum mechanics emerge from deeper, more fundamental principles. My work explores Temporal Flow Physics (TFP), a different framework where spacetime, particles, and forces arise from a network of discrete, interacting temporal flows. The key idea? Time is not a backdrop—it’s the foundation. Instead of pre-existing space and matter, TFP posits that reality is built from a dynamic web of one-dimensional time-like flows. From this, 3D space, gravity, and quantum behavior should emerge naturally. But how? To test this, I ran large-scale simulations to measure how geometric structure (encoded in "motifs" like triangular loops) evolves under coarse-graining—a process akin to zooming out from the quantum foam to see classical spacetime. The Hypothesis: ...

  Temporal Flow Physics: A First-Principles Theory of Space, Fields, and Forces What if space isn't fundamental? What if the fabric of the universe—geometry, fields, even gravity—emerges from something deeper, more primitive, and purely temporal? Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) is a radical framework that takes this question seriously. It begins from a simple but powerful assumption: time alone is fundamental . From this starting point, all known physical structures and laws arise as emergent phenomena. Core Ontology Time Is Fundamental TFP begins with discrete temporal flow units that evolve in discrete steps of Planck time, . These flow units are dimensionless , have no spatial coordinates, and only evolve causally in one direction: time. Causal Network Topology These flow units are arranged in a causal network , which is initially a simple 1D chain (i.e., each unit has two neighbors in the temporal direction), but generalizes naturally to more complex graphs. This topolog...

 Bridges of Morality: A Philosophy of Autonomy, Suppression, and Social Responsibility I. Introduction — The Fractured Freedom of Being The Fractured Freedom of Being Autonomy is often misunderstood. It's not a privilege granted by society, nor a luxury reserved for those in power. It's something deeper: the raw capacity to choose, to act, to reflect. This capacity—this fundamental freedom—emerges the moment a mind becomes aware of itself and its possibilities. But here's the tension that defines human existence: society doesn't reward unfiltered autonomy. In fact, it punishes it. So we learn to suppress parts of ourselves—not because we're wrong, but because survival inside any social system requires strategic adaptation. This tension exists because of what I call the truth asymmetry—the gap between infinite and finite modes of being, to borrow Spinoza's terminology. If we think of absolute truth as analogous to Spinoza's infinite substance—complete, eterna...

Geometric Renormalization in Temporal Flow Physics: A First-Principles Validation By John Gavel 6/26/2025 Recent advances in Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) have uncovered a first-principles derivation of the renormalization group (RG) flow for gauge couplings, grounded entirely in the geometry of discrete temporal flows . This demonstrates that the scale dependence of forces — classically introduced via continuous quantum field methods — emerges intrinsically from temporal flow networks . No phenomenological fitting is needed. From Temporal Flows to Gauge Couplings In TFP, all interactions arise from discrete, oriented flows of time between fundamental events. These flows define a directed network: Nodes = causal events Edges = directed temporal flow between events The flow between node i and j is encoded in a matrix P , where each entry Pᵢⱼ represents the amplitude or strength of temporal flow from i to j . When flows form loops, their composition can reveal cur...
