The Dimensionless Form of Temporal Flow Physics

  The Dimensionless Form of Temporal Flow Physics by John Gavel Date: 5/25/2025 In the ongoing development of Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) , a key step in linking the theory to observable physics—and comparing it to established models like General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory—is casting the entire action in a dimensionless form. This blog explores how the fundamental constants of nature—ℏ, c c , and G G —disappear into the fabric of the theory, and what this means for interpreting the action, metric, and dynamics of flow. Why Make the Action Dimensionless? Every physical theory is governed by an action S S , whose variation yields the field equations. But S S  itself carries units: specifically, units of ℏ. By expressing the entire action in dimensionless form—dividing through by ℏ and rescaling all fields and coordinates—we distill the theory to its pure form , where the structure of interactions is laid bare, unclouded by unit conventions. This process also r...

Causal Flow and CPT Inversion: A Geometric Foundation for Quantum Phenomena

Causal Flow and CPT Inversion: A Geometric Foundation for Quantum Phenomena by John Gavel Core Thesis In Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) , all physical phenomena—including quantum behavior, entanglement, CPT symmetry, and spacetime geometry—emerge from the dynamic interactions of quantized, one-dimensional temporal flows . These flows are fundamental entities; no additional quantum formalism is required. The complete structure of physical reality arises from the geometric, statistical, and causal relations between these temporal flows, as defined by the core principles of TFP. I. Metric Emergence from Flow Correlations and Relations Principle 1 asserts that time and temporal flows are fundamental : the universe consists of discrete, complex-valued 1D temporal flows F i ( t ) F_i(t) , each associated with a node i i i . Principle 2 states that space and geometry emerge from comparisons between flows : spatial relations and metric structure are not primitive but arise from discrete ...

Gauge Emergence in TFP

How All Gauge Forces Emerge from Discrete Temporal Flows By John gavel  I've developed a theoretical framework called Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) that shows how the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces all emerge from the same underlying discrete structure. Here's what my model does—and why it matters. The Core Idea Standard gauge theory assumes gauge symmetries exist—but it doesn’t explain why . My model starts with something more fundamental: quantized 1D flows evolving in discrete time , defined on a network. These flows are the building blocks of all fields and forces. Each site on this network supports a complex flow of the form: F_i(t) = A_i(t) e^{i\theta_i(t)} The amplitude determines local flow strength, while the phase encodes internal symmetry. The key insight is that gauge connections emerge from local phase misalignments between neighboring flows. From Discrete Flows to Gauge Theory The gauge connection naturally appears as the discrete phase ...

Emergence of the Lorentzian Metric Signature in Temporal Flow Physics

Emergence of the Lorentzian Metric Signature in Temporal Flow Physics John Gavel Abstract: In Temporal Flow Physics (TFP), time is fundamental as a quantized one-dimensional flow, and space emerges from the relational structure of fluctuations in this flow. We rigorously prove that the Lorentzian signature of the emergent spacetime metric arises naturally from the causal and statistical properties of temporal flow fluctuations, rather than being imposed as a postulate. This section formalizes the assumptions, constructs the emergent metric tensor from flow correlations, and demonstrates how causality enforces the Lorentzian signature. 1. Introduction and Setup We consider a fundamental scalar flow field F : M → R , F = F ( x ) , x ∈ M F: \mathcal{M} \to \mathbb{R}, \quad F = F(x), \quad x \in \mathcal{M} where M \mathcal{M}  is an emergent 4-dimensional manifold with coordinates x μ = ( x 0 , x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ) , μ = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , x^\mu = (x^0, x^1, x^2, x^3), \quad \mu=0,1...
