PSI and the Nature of Time: Time as a Derivative of the Loss of Difference Coherence

This paper presents an ontological model in which time is understood not as a fundamental dimension, but as a secondary phenomenon emerging from the coherence (ψ) of differences within a system. The model introduces ψ as a scalar representing structural agreement among distinguishable elements. Time is proposed to arise when ψ decreases, leading to a measurable deviation between differences. The formal expression t = Δψ / δᵢ defines time as the quotient of coherence disruption. Implications of this approach are explored in physics, psychology, phenomenology, and spatial design, offering a unified framework where temporality becomes contextual and reversible.
