Emergent Temperature and Pressure in a Flow-Based Model of Physics
Emergent Temperature and Pressure in a Flow-Based Model of Physics Introduction In modern physics, space and time are often treated as fundamental structures, with thermodynamic properties like temperature and pressure emerging from microscopic interactions. However, in my model, these properties are not just statistical phenomena but arise from a deeper, underlying flow field. This blog post explores how temperature and pressure naturally emerge from these flows, showing that thermodynamics is a direct consequence of flow dynamics rather than an independent framework imposed on top of fundamental physics. 1. The Basic Framework In this model, the universe is described by a flow field—a scalar or multi-component field that gives rise to emergent space, time, and thermodynamic properties. Instead of treating space and time as pre-existing, they emerge from weighted sums of flow components: X = ∑ i α i ϕ i , t eff = ∑ i δ i ϕ i , X = \sum_i \alpha_i\, \phi_i, \quad t_{\text{eff}} = \...
