  From Temporal Flow to Spacetime Geometry: A Rigorous Framework for Dimensional Emergence Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) is a radically minimalistic framework where time is fundamental, and space, gauge fields, entropy, and gravity emerge from quantized one-dimensional temporal flows F i ( t ) F_i(t) . Unlike conventional physics, TFP does not assume a preexisting manifold, coordinates, or field content. Everything arises from the dynamics and relationships between these temporal flows. In this blog, I develop a precise and mathematically rigorous construction of how spatial dimensions, gauge structures, and geometric curvature naturally emerge from nested comparisons of temporal flows. I also derive explicit equations of motion, construct an emergent metric, and show how entropy corresponds to curvature energy — paving the way toward gravity from flow dynamics.  Foundations: The Action Principle We begin with the discrete action governing a network of temporal flows F...

How Bidirectional Time Yields Entropy and Causality in Temporal Flow Physics By John Gavel In the Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) model I’ve been developing, time is not a passive background but a fundamental entity — a quantized, 1D flow field from which space, mass, and all physical laws emerge. One of the most compelling consequences of this framework is how entropy and causality — usually postulated in physics — naturally emerge from flow interference itself. In this post, I’ll walk you through the core idea: how bidirectional temporal interference leads to a preferred arrow of time , how damping arises from this process, and how entropy and causal structure follow directly. I’ll also share the results of a recent simulation that confirms the stability of this mechanism and matches the predictions from our flow equations. The Insight: Interference Determines the Arrow of Time Most physical models assume a time direction. Thermodynamics assumes the Second Law. Relativity assume...

  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 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 ...
