Spiral Time Quantization with Discrete Geometry: Propagators, One-Loop Running with U3, and Detector-Centric Signatures

We present a strengthened HLV (Helix–Light–Vortex) formulation that unifies spiral time with a discrete quasicrystalline embedding. New results: (i) an explicit, unitary-safe spiral correction of the free propagator; (ii) a one-loop renormalization-group (RG) flow modified by a stationary U3 bandwidth mode; (iii) detector-centric double-slit signatures (visibility sinc law and harmonic sidebands). We also give a discrete G-lattice embedding that acts as a natural regulator while preserving falsifiable predictions. All limits reduce continuously to standard quantum theory.
