A Mechanical Metric for Temporal Tension: Resolving the Hubble Tension and JWST Mass Anomalies via Potential Energy Unfolding (V5.4)

This paper presents the Master Version (5.4) of The Abbott Hypothesis, a unified field-theoretic model that redefines Time as the emergent rate at which the universe’s total potential energy—stored as the tension of mass—unfolds into kinetic reality. By indexing the temporal metric to a universal Ground State tension floor (The Abbott Constant, LA), Version 5.4 provides a mechanical solution to the Hubble Tension and the JWST "Little Red Dot" anomalies. We demonstrate that high-mass galactic cores and the early universe represent "Stalled Space" where temporal unfolding is slowed, causing a standard mass-estimation error in current standard models. Key Mathematical & Logical Integrations: Energy Sequestration: Defines the conservation of energy where frequency decay "re-winds" vacuum potential: E_total = E_kinetic + E_sequestered. Structuralist Mechanics: A linguistic-structuralist approach to wave function collapse and entanglement synchronization. The Final Mathematical Engine: A complete set of 11 equations unifying gravity, thermodynamics, and quantum measurement into a single tension variable U. The Mathematical Engine (100% Paste Friendly): Force of Reality: F_Abbott = - Grad(U) Energy Balance: E_total = E_kinetic + E_sequestered Redshift Decay: f_observed = f_emitted * e^(-SA * Dt) Wave Function Rate: R_sync = Delta_U / LA Entanglement Link: U_particle_A = U_particle_B Mass Fix (JWST): M_actual = M_standard - (Delta_Tr / LA) Information Safety: Tr > 0 for all I > 0 Redshift Floor: f_limit = h * LA Nuclear Time Stall: Tr_nuclear = Tr_local * (LA / U_nucleus) Heat Release: Delta_Q = Integral of (U_high - LA) dV Ghost Lensing: Alpha = (4 * G * Integral of Grad(U)) / c^2
