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. Core Principle: Temporal Flow as Fundamental TFP posits that the universe’s fundamental degrees of freedom are qu...
