Hyperbolic Scale Relativity
Abstract
Hyperbolic Scale Relativity proposes that the effective temporal resolution of internal dynamics depends on the ratio between the characteristic spatial scales of interacting systems. The framework introduces a universal scale-relational exponent α ≃ 0.9, interpreted not as a phenomenological fitting parameter but as a structural constant of hierarchical scale geometry. Geometrically, this exponent is associated with the fundamental angular periodicity 2π/7 of a minimal hyperbolic scale structure; dynamically, it appears as the logarithmic slope relating inverse spatial scale separation to internal temporal-density scaling. The resulting mapping establishes a correspondence between macro- and micro-level descriptions without modifying local Lorentz-invariant spacetime structure. Microscopic systems are not assumed to inhabit a separate physical time; rather, they are described as possessing a higher internal dynamical density relative to macroscopic observers. Through the relation , this unresolved microscopic frequency structure may appear macroscopically as energetic and probabilistic behavior. In the cosmological sector, the theory incorporates a distinct scale-dependent conformal function Ω(r), acting as a geometric modulation of the physical metric. Gradients of this conformal factor generate effective dynamical corrections within a negatively curved scale manifold, while standard relativistic behavior is recovered in the local equilibrium limit. Within this structure, the late-time Hubble-scale mapping provides the most direct background-level observational implication of the minimal scalar-conformal realization.The least-coupling conformal vacuum yields a definite present-epoch relation between the Einstein and physical expansion rates while allowing an approximately standard early-time regime. At galactic scales, the present construction establishes quantitative weak-field requirements associated with rotation curves, baryonic Tully–Fisher scaling, and gravitational lensing, although their full dynamical realization lies beyond the minimal radial sector. The framework therefore provides a controlled separation between consequences of the hyperbolic fixed-point geometry and conformal dynamics, and additional scale-response effects to be developed and tested phenomenologically. For completeness, an explicitly conditional microscopic EFT application to the muon anomalous magnetic moment is also considered. It uses the sevenfold fixed-point constant only as a candidate normalization of a standard dipole Wilson coefficient and remains separate from the core scale-relational and scalar-conformal construction. Revision note. Section 3 has been strengthened by deriving negative curvature under the stated fixed-point and geometric assumptions rather than taking it as an independent input. Appendix C has also been revised to derive the massive-particle conformal response directly from the universal HSR matter action.
