Dynamical Mass from Flow Geometry in Temporal Flow Theory (TFT)
Dynamical Mass from Flow Geometry in Temporal Flow Theory (TFT) One of the most interesting ideas in Temporal Flow Theory (TFT) is that mass is not a fundamental quantity , but instead emerges from the geometry and coupling of flows themselves. This post focuses on how fermionic mass arises dynamically from the curvature of the underlying flow potential—a concept I call flow inertia . 5.1 Motivation: Mass as Flow Inertia In conventional quantum field theory (QFT), the mass term in the Dirac Lagrangian is a constant: \mathcal{L}_\psi = \bar{\psi}(i\gamma^\mu \partial_\mu - m)\psi But TFT takes a different stance. I propose that: Mass = Flow Inertia = Curvature of the Flow Potential That is, m^2 \propto \left. \frac{\partial^2 V(F)}{\partial F^2} \right|_{F = F_0} Here, is the bosonic flow field, and is its equilibrium configuration. 5.2 Modified Dirac Lagrangian with Flow-Coupled Mass In TFT, mass becomes a function of the flow field: m(F) \equiv \sqrt{\lambd...
