UNIVERSAL FUNCTIONAL COHERENCE THEORY: A PRE-GEOMETRIC FIELD FRAMEWORK FOR THE EMERGENCE OF SPACE, TIME, AND IRREVERSIBILITY

The Universal Functional Coherence Theory (UFCT) is a new theoretical framework that explores how space, time, and the arrow of time could emerge from a deeper, more fundamental layer of reality. Instead of treating space and time as starting points, the theory proposes that they are the result of underlying processes of organization and coherence in nature. This perspective offers a unifying way of looking at physics: how order arises, how irreversibility takes shape, and how the universe evolves from the very small to the very large. It seeks to connect ideas from quantum physics, relativity, thermodynamics, and information into a single, consistent picture. As this is a preprint, I welcome comments, constructive criticism, suggestions, and partnerships from the scientific community to further refine and test these ideas.
