Onion Skin Time Model (OTM): A Foundational Analysis of Layered Temporal Geometry and Its Relativistic Convergence

A theoretical framework is proposed in which time is treated as a layeredscalar field rather than a simple parameter. The Onion Skin Time Model(OTM) describes temporal geometry as discrete concentric shells withcharacteristic radii rn=nℓP. The model connects smoothly with bothspecial and general relativity, establishing quantitative relations fortemporal potential, curvature, and phase density. This phase deliberatelyexcludes cosmological discussions (such as expansion or dark matter),focusing purely on space–time geometry and field formulation.
