From Ontological Time to Finite-Capacity Physics: Ontological Foundations, Theoretical Structure, and Empirical Prospects in FCLET

From Ontological Time to Finite-Capacity Physics: Ontological Foundations, Theoretical Structure, and Empirical Prospects in FCLET presents a unified monographic reconstruction of a long-form research program developed across ontology, theoretical physics, and empirical program design. The book begins from a foundational question: what it means for time to exist if reality is actualized only in the present moment. From this starting point, it develops a broader inquiry into temporal non-storage, ontological discontinuity, informational limitation, cosmic emergence, and the conditions under which order can be sustained. These conceptual investigations are then extended into the finite-capacity latency–erasure theory (FCLET), a multiregime framework intended to connect ontological foundations with physical structure across gravity, cosmology, perturbation theory, nonequilibrium memory, stochastic timing effects, thermodynamics, strong-field completion, and empirical viability. Rather than presenting a single isolated model, this volume reconstructs FCLET as a disciplined research program with explicit conceptual foundations, canonical variables, source hierarchy, admissibility logic, benchmark structure, falsification criteria, and survival conditions. Constructive sectors are developed alongside excluded branches, negative results, and no-go boundaries, reflecting the principle that a serious theory framework must define not only what it proposes, but also what it rejects. This edition is organized as a book-length collected and edited master volume, bringing together the full architecture of the FCLET program in a structured and professionally formatted form.
