Theory of Paradox (Revised Formal Draft) V2 Author: John Gavel Title: Recursive Context Collapse: A Topological Framework for Paradox Emergence and Resolution Core Premise Paradoxes do not indicate logical failure—they are signs of recursive conflict between coexisting informational systems. They emerge when two or more contextual systems interact, but their recursive flows cannot be simultaneously maintained. We define a paradox as a collapse in recursive coherence between systems that differ in context, invariants, or semantic structure. 1. Mathematical Structure Let two interacting systems be denoted S₁ and S₂. Define: = contextual influence between systems I ( S 1 ​ , S 2 ​ ) = shared invariants between systems M ( S 1 ​ , S 2 ​ ) = paradox tension metric Then: M ( S 1 ​ , S 2 ​ ) = C ( S 1 ​ , S 2 ​ ) / I ( S 1 ​ , S 2 ​ ) When M exceeds a topology-dependent threshold, paradox emerges. Units: C and I are dimensionless but derived from measurable semantic flow coherence and alig...

From Temporal Flow Physics to Quantum Mechanics: How Time Weaves the Quantum World by John Gavel Introduction What if the mysterious quantum behavior we see in particles isn’t fundamental? What if it emerges naturally from something even more basic — time itself? Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) proposes just that. Instead of starting with space and particles as the fundamental building blocks, TFP begins with fundamental temporal flows — simple, quantized “lines” of time evolving independently but interacting through internal dynamics. From these flows, the geometry of space and the behavior of matter arise naturally. Today, we’ll explore how this gives rise to quantum mechanics and the famous Schrödinger equation — the cornerstone of non-relativistic quantum theory. Fundamental Temporal Flows Imagine a network of nodes, each hosting a temporal flow — a vector with three components that changes with time: F i ( t ) = ( F i , A ( t ) ,    F i , B ( t ) ,    F i , C ( t ) ) F_i(t) ...

 Temporal Flow Physics: Mathematical Framework Summary  1. Base Manifold (Fundamental Time): Define a 1D base manifold representing fundamental time: M = ℝ (the real line of fundamental time t). 2. Flow Fiber and Flow Vector at Each Node: At each discrete network node i, and each time t in ℝ, define a 3-component flow vector: F_i(t) = (F_i,A(t), F_i,B(t), F_i,C(t)) ∈ {0, F_planck}³. Here, F_i(t) is the flow vector at node i at time t. The full collection {F_i(t)} for all nodes i describes the network of flows evolving over time. 3. Fiber Bundle Structure: The fiber at each time t is the discrete 3D flow vector space, and the total space is the bundle: E = M × F → M, where F is the space of all possible 3-component flow vectors at a node. 4. Internal Symmetry and Lie Algebra: A non-abelian Lie algebra g acts on the fibers F_i(t). For example, the generators satisfy: [T_a, T_b] = i ε_abc T_c, resembling an SU(2)-like or cyclic symmetry algebra. This induces internal symmetry tra...

From Temporal Flow to Spacetime Geometry: Why Fluctuations are Scalar Fields in Temporal Flow Physics Introduction What if spacetime itself isn't fundamental, but emerges from something simpler? Temporal Flow Physics (TFP) proposes a radical answer: all physical phenomena arise from one-dimensional temporal flow lines whose interactions weave the fabric of spacetime itself. Mass, energy, and geometry aren't basic building blocks—they're emergent properties of how these flows behave and interact. At the heart of this framework lie two key fields: the fluctuation field δ F \delta F , which captures local deviations in flow rate, and the entropy alignment field S S , which quantifies how well flows align with each other. This post explores how these scalar fields emerge naturally from flow dynamics and govern the appearance of spacetime geometry, complete with mathematical validation against known physics. The Flow Foundation In TFP, reality begins with fundamental 1D...
