USP Field Theory — Δf Mechanism, Time Dilation, and the No Time Travel Principle (RQM1.0)

This RQM1.0 release refines USP Field Theory’s Δf mechanism as an explanation for time dilation, replacing spacetime curvature with resonance mismatch dynamics. Key contributions include: Δf Mechanism: Formal relation ω_eff = ω₀ − Δf, with Δf ∝ v²/c², explaining why moving clocks oscillate slower. Biological vs. Mechanical Divergence: Living systems partially correct Δf effects (𝓡 ≈ 0.90–0.95), offering new testable predictions. Decay vs. Tick Rates: Radioactive decay shows Δf-dependent shifts, with kinematic slowing vs. compressive speeding, unifying lab clocks and muon lifetimes. No Time Travel Principle: Time is oscillation count, not an independent dimension. Δf only shifts oscillator rates; there is no reversal, eliminating time-travel paradoxes. Integration: Links to USP predictions in stellar collapse, heat transport, biological perception, and gravitational gradients. This work extends the USP Field Theory framework by grounding time dilation in resonance physics and removing the illusion of time travel.
