The Dimensional-Energy Condensation Theory (DECT): Unifying Quantum Mechanics and Relativity via Thermodynamic Time and 4D Energy Projection

Abstract: The persistent incompatibility between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR) suggests structural flaws in our foundational understanding of spacetime. This paper introduces the Dimensional-Energy Condensation Theory (DECT). We propose that energy is fundamentally a 4D entity, and 3D space is an emergent plane formed only when energy condenses (e.g., quarks/mass). Consequently, we redefine "time" not as a geometric dimension, but purely as thermodynamic change driven forward by the universal mandate for equilibrium. Furthermore, we reinterpret light as the 3D projection of 4D energy, and gravity as an external pressure reaction to cosmic expansion. This framework replicates established QM and GR phenomena and presents a unified mathematical framework for the macro and micro universes.
