TTM: A Structural Model of Time

The nature of time remains one of the most profound open questions in both physics and philosophy. While special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics each provide partial descriptions of temporal phenomena, a unified structural explanation of the fundamental nature of time remains elusive. In this work, we propose a model of time that is embedded within a timeless n-dimensional hypervolume—that is, n dimensions of space and n dimensions of field—focusing only on the structure of the 4th and 5th spatial dimensions in this first part of the research. The model presented here is fully compatible with the established predictions of special and general relativity, as well as quantum mechanics, offering an expanded conceptual perspective on their structure within an n-dimensional spatial universe.

Abstract

The nature of time remains one of the most profound open questions in both physics and philosophy. While special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics each provide partial descriptions of temporal phenomena, a unified structural explanation of the fundamental nature of time remains elusive. In this work, we propose a model of time that is embedded within a timeless n-dimensional hypervolume—that is, n dimensions of space and n dimensions of field—focusing only on the structure of the 4th and 5th spatial dimensions in this first part of the research. The model presented here is fully compatible with the established predictions of special and general relativity, as well as quantum mechanics, offering an expanded conceptual perspective on their structure within an n-dimensional spatial universe.
