Flow-Time Theory v7.0: Self-Consistent Field Theory of Entropy and Gravity

This is version 7.0 of Flow-Time Theory (FTT). It corrects an algebraic typo in Section 6 (GPS derivation) present in v5/v6. The physical content, numerical values (R = 0.617, GPS Δf/f = 5.2×10⁻¹⁰), and all experimental predictions remain unchanged. Apart from this algebraic correction, the physical content of v7.0 is identical to v6. In this document, "v6" and "v7.0" refer to the same physical version. For full details, see the main text and Appendix F. FTT is a self-consistent field theory of entropy and gravity. Starting from a fundamental scalar field Φ with no time, space, or gravity presupposed, it derives: the emergence of macroscopic time from quantum decoherence; the gravitational modulation function f(r) = (1 - r_s/r)/(1 - γ r_s/r) with γ ≈ 0.62; and the local cosmological curvature parameter R = 0.617 measured from GPS data. The theory makes testable predictions including the P1-U ice-water experiment (dipole axis fixed in celestial coordinates) and variation of R with position. P5 information retrieval (reported in v3, Cohen's d > 0.8, p < 0.001) provides empirical support for the information-field ontology of FTT, consistent with the Φ field encoding complete worldline information at temporal anchors. All experimental predictions are falsifiable. The theory requires no free parameters beyond R (measured).

Abstract

This is version 7.0 of Flow-Time Theory (FTT). It corrects an algebraic typo in Section 6 (GPS derivation) present in v5/v6. The physical content, numerical values (R = 0.617, GPS Δf/f = 5.2×10⁻¹⁰), and all experimental predictions remain unchanged. Apart from this algebraic correction, the physical content of v7.0 is identical to v6. In this document, "v6" and "v7.0" refer to the same physical version. For full details, see the main text and Appendix F. FTT is a self-consistent field theory of entropy and gravity. Starting from a fundamental scalar field Φ with no time, space, or gravity presupposed, it derives: the emergence of macroscopic time from quantum decoherence; the gravitational modulation function f(r) = (1 - r_s/r)/(1 - γ r_s/r) with γ ≈ 0.62; and the local cosmological curvature parameter R = 0.617 measured from GPS data. The theory makes testable predictions including the P1-U ice-water experiment (dipole axis fixed in celestial coordinates) and variation of R with position. P5 information retrieval (reported in v3, Cohen's d > 0.8, p < 0.001) provides empirical support for the information-field ontology of FTT, consistent with the Φ field encoding complete worldline information at temporal anchors. All experimental predictions are falsifiable. The theory requires no free parameters beyond R (measured).
