Why Gauge Theory Emerges in Temporal Flow Physics

  Why Gauge Theory Emerges in Temporal Flow Physics By John Gavel Abstract In Temporal Flow Physics (TFP), quantized 1D temporal flows are fundamental, and space emerges from their relational dynamics. This post demonstrates how gauge theory—a cornerstone of the Standard Model—arises naturally from TFP’s internal symmetries, flow comparisons, and entropy gradients. I derive the mathematical structures of gauge fields, symmetries, and couplings from first principles, showing how TFP emulates QED’s fine-structure constant ( α ≈ 1 / 137 \alpha \approx 1/137 ). Using recent simulation results ( N 1 ≈ 10.90 N_1 \approx 10.90 , α eff − 1 ≈ 136.97 \alpha_{\text{eff}}^{-1} \approx 136.97 ), I reveal a deep unification of information geometry, emergent spacetime, and gauge interactions—addressing criticisms about parameter derivations and offering testable predictions. 1.

Entropy Shapes Causality: Emergent Particles in Temporal Flow Physics

  Entropy Shapes Causality: Emergent Particles in Temporal Flow Physics By John Gavel | 5/14/2025 In this study, I've introduce a refined causal interaction kernel for Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) , a framework in which time is fundamental and space emerges from quantized temporal flows. The update integrates entropy gradients directly into the causal structure, revealing a compelling interplay between local disorder, resistance to interaction, and the emergence of discrete particle-like segments in 1D flow chains. This approach addresses a fundamental principle of TFP: causal influences are bounded not only by flow difference but also by the entropy contrast between segments . When entropy gradients are steep, they act as resistive boundaries to causal interaction—segmenting continuous flows into distinguishable, self-coherent structures we interpret as emergent particles. Overview: Entropy as a Causal Regulator The central idea is simple: adjacent temporal flows F i F_i ​ ...

Temporal Flow Physics: First Principles and Mathematical Foundations

  Temporal Flow Physics: First Principles and Mathematical Foundations Abstract This paper presents the mathematical foundations of Temporal Flow Physics (TFP), a framework where time is treated as the fundamental entity and space emerges as a relational structure between temporal flows. We develop the formalism from first principles, demonstrating how a discrete action governing temporal flow dynamics gives rise to an emergent spacetime with a dynamical Lorentzian metric. The framework naturally explains the arrow of time as a consequence of temporal coherence, quantified through a coherence factor that modulates the geometric structure. We establish mathematical consistency between the microscopic flow dynamics and macroscopic spacetime properties, providing a novel perspective on the emergence of geometry from more primitive temporal concepts. 1. Introduction and First Principles Temporal Flow Physics is built upon several foundational principles: Temporal Primacy : Time i...
