Gravitational Time Dilation in Cognitive Systems: A Unified Model of Information Density, Negentropy, and Subjective Chronesthesia

This preprint presents a theoretical framework that unifies concepts from general relativity, thermodynamics, and cognitive psychology to model subjective time dilation in high-density cognitive systems. The core idea is that prolonged periods of intense, inward-focused information processing under psychological pressure can be treated analogously to gravimetric mass accumulation, producing a “cognitive event horizon” and a delayed but explosive creative output. The work was developed in close interaction with a large language model (AI), which assisted in structuring, formalizing and articulating the underlying ideas. The conceptual content, hypotheses and analogies originated from the author, who approached the topic from an autodidactic perspective, with only basic formal training in physics and no formal background in psychology. The synthesis was constructed by cold logical reasoning and cross-domain analogies rather than by extending an existing academic tradition. This document should therefore be read as a speculative, interdisciplinary perspective paper: it does not claim empirical validation, but aims to offer a coherent model and language for phenomena such as high-functioning isolation, subjective time distortion, and late cognitive “singularity” events. It is intended as a starting point for discussion and critique by researchers in physics, cognitive science, psychology, and philosophy of mind.

Abstract

This preprint presents a theoretical framework that unifies concepts from general relativity, thermodynamics, and cognitive psychology to model subjective time dilation in high-density cognitive systems. The core idea is that prolonged periods of intense, inward-focused information processing under psychological pressure can be treated analogously to gravimetric mass accumulation, producing a “cognitive event horizon” and a delayed but explosive creative output. The work was developed in close interaction with a large language model (AI), which assisted in structuring, formalizing and articulating the underlying ideas. The conceptual content, hypotheses and analogies originated from the author, who approached the topic from an autodidactic perspective, with only basic formal training in physics and no formal background in psychology. The synthesis was constructed by cold logical reasoning and cross-domain analogies rather than by extending an existing academic tradition. This document should therefore be read as a speculative, interdisciplinary perspective paper: it does not claim empirical validation, but aims to offer a coherent model and language for phenomena such as high-functioning isolation, subjective time distortion, and late cognitive “singularity” events. It is intended as a starting point for discussion and critique by researchers in physics, cognitive science, psychology, and philosophy of mind.
