The Tenson Particle: A Minimal Energy–Information Resonant Unit with an Internal Temporal Degree of Freedom

The present work introduces the Tenson particle as a minimal physical unit defined by the resonant coupling of energy and information. Unlike conventional particle concepts, which presuppose time as an external parameter, the Tenson particle carries an intrinsic temporal degree of freedom associated with its generation and transition processes. We argue that this internal temporal structure arises necessarily once energy and information are treated on equal footing at the most elementary level. The proposal is not intended as a complete field theory or a unified framework, but rather as a structural clarification of the minimal constituents underlying energy–information dynamics. Within this restricted scope, we show that the Tenson particle can be consistently defined as a localized and discrete excitation of a complex energy–information quantity, exhibiting an extended conservation structure without violating standard energy conservation. Possible indirect signatures and conceptual implications are briefly discussed, while further developments are left for subsequent work.
