The Evolution of Time Field Theory: A Logical Journey from Error to Truth

This paper presents a complete and honest account of the evolution of Time Field Theory (TFT) from its initial draft to its final consistent form. All errors, corrections, and breakthroughs have clear mathematical and logical roots, with no arbitrary jumps. The core purpose of this work is to demonstrate how a correct physical intuition, through systematic logical refinement, can grow into a self-consistent theoretical framework. We show that the decisive breakthrough of TFT was the transition from uniaxial velocity conservation to biaxial spacetime flux conservation, which bridged the fundamental gap between intrinsic quantities and observable quantities. This single constraint naturally forced the emergence of all fundamental physical concepts, including time, mass, observer, local reference frames, and gravitational effects. This paper serves as the general introduction and overview of the entire TFT series. It is recommended to read this paper first before accessing any technical papers in the series, to understand the complete logical context and philosophical foundation of Time Field Theory. This is the final, corrected, and official version of this paper. All previous drafts and working versions are superseded and invalid.
