New Foundational Questions Enabled by the Scalar Temporal Field Ontology

This document identifies a class of foundational questions that becomewell-posed only when time is treated as a physical scalar field rather than asan external parameter. The paper introduces no new axioms, models, or empiricalclaims, and does not attempt to answer the questions it presents. Its purpose is to delineate the open research frontier created by the ScalarTemporal Field Ontology (STFO), rather than to extend or modify the ontologyitself.

Abstract

This document identifies a class of foundational questions that becomewell-posed only when time is treated as a physical scalar field rather than asan external parameter. The paper introduces no new axioms, models, or empiricalclaims, and does not attempt to answer the questions it presents. Its purpose is to delineate the open research frontier created by the ScalarTemporal Field Ontology (STFO), rather than to extend or modify the ontologyitself.
