Latency-Gated Coherent Emission as an Effective Information-Physics Model for the Long-Period Transient ASKAP J1832–0911 (MetaTime v36.0)

ASKAP J1832–0911 is an exceptionally bright long-period transient (LPT) exhibiting strictlyperiodic, correlated radio and X-ray emission at a 44.2-minute cycle, with minute-scale “on” win-dows. This behavior challenges standard rotationally powered pulsar paradigms and motivatescompeting interpretations including an old magnetar and an ultra-magnetized white dwarf. Wepropose a conservative and testable effective synthesis between the observational phenomenology ofASKAP J1832–0911 and the MetaTime v36.0 framework, in which dynamical state updates incura geometric information-processing cost and are subject to latency-induced write friction. We for-mulate a latency-gated emission model via a Rayleigh dissipation functional whose load factor Πincreases in high-cost regions of state space, suppressing sustained coherence except during narrowphase windows. We provide (i) a modified Euler–Lagrange structure consistent with MetaTime’s“cost of update”, (ii) a Landauer-style energetic bookkeeping identity for irreversible gating, and (iii)a reproducible toy integration demonstrating a critical latency scale separating phase-locked burstingfrom quiescence while preserving the observed duty cycle. The resulting predictions (phase-lockedradio/X correlation, duty-cycle invariants, and a constrained dissipation budget) are falsifiable withcontinued multiwavelength monitoring and population studies of LPTs
