A Formal Framework For Emergent Time in Open Spherical Manifolds
Abstract
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel framework for "Emergent Time" by utilizing Open Spherical Manifolds. It explores the idea that temporal dimensions are not fundamental but emerge from the intrinsic energy-driven dynamics and geometric transitions of complex systems. The study aims to provide a new conceptual scheme for understanding time in both physical and biological contexts. CHANGE LOG(VERSION 2.0) Added a formal mathematical framework using Manifold Tension and Gradient Flows. Introduced the "Topological Phase Transition" model for Black Holes. Updated author identity and consolidated the physical units.
