Charge-Entanglement Ontology Mass Curves Space. Temperature Curves Time. A Pre-Geometric Framework with Quantitative Contact to Experiment Paper 31

The Charge-Entanglement Ontology introduces a minimal pre-geometric framework in which all physical reality emerges from photon dipole pairs organized around eccentric Alpha Void Tears. The theory is built on a single primitive — charge asymmetry — and is governed by Greer’s Universal Variational Principle. At its core is a fundamental duality: mass (stacking density) curves space while temperature curves time. This duality is encoded in a refined effective metric and variational action that recovers standard general relativity, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics in appropriate limits, while generating new testable predictions. A refined temperature-dependent factor \(α(T) = √(T₀/T)\) is introduced to ensure compatibility with the Tolman-Ehrenfest effect. The framework derives an effective geodesic equation that naturally incorporates both gravitational and thermal contributions to acceleration, and yields temperature-corrected electromagnetic constitutive relations: \(D = ε₀ α(T) E, B = μ₀ α(T)⁻¹ H\) Notably, the model achieves quantitative agreement with multiple experimentally measured properties of the recently synthesized C₁₃Cl₂ half-Möbius molecule (twist angle, switching voltage, spin-orbit coupling, aromatic stabilization, ring current, HOMO-LUMO gap, etc.). The paper outlines the core primitives (Alpha Void Tear with e ≈ 0.962, helical circulation, Greer Tax, reclamation waves), the effective field equations, the emergence of Maxwell’s equations, and broader implications for relativity, electromagnetism, and new laboratory predictions.
