Introduction: Understanding Lapse-First GR
A comprehensive tutorial explaining temporal geometry (lapse-first GR) from first principles. Learn how gravity emerges from the flow of time, why energy flux sculpts temporal landscapes, and how this approach simplifies Einstein's equations.
Paper I: Gravity as Temporal Geometry
Reformulates general relativity treating the lapse N=e^Φ as primary, separating "time" (Φ) from "space" (γ) while maintaining classical equivalence to standard GR.
Paper II: Experimental Signatures
Explores experimental temporal metrology through energy flux effects on clock-rate drift, focusing on quantum predictions using atom interferometry and optical clocks.
Paper III: Cosmology as Temporal Geometry
Develops cosmological approach using temporal potential Φ, proving equivalence to standard FRW cosmology and demonstrating statistical equivalence to ΛCDM.
Paper IV: Origin of Time
Proposes the Big Bang as a temporal boundary where time originates through quantum nucleation, offering a calculable beginning of time via temporal vacuum decay.
Paper IV.2: Testing The Origin Of Time
Develops testable predictions for the temporal Big Bang model, including universe curvature, non-Gaussianity, and polarization characteristics as alternatives to inflation.
Paper IV.3: The Birth of Time
Explores the detailed mechanism of temporal nucleation at the Big Bang, developing the quantum field theory of time's emergence and its cosmological implications.
Paper IV.4: Light & The Flow of Time
Develops temporal optics framework showing light propagation follows refractive index n=e^Φ, yielding achromatic timing drifts and clean discriminants between temporal geometry and plasma effects.
Paper V: Clock Networks as Probes
Develops the quantum theory of temporal geometry, showing how time fluctuations lead to decoherence and exploring the experimental signatures of quantum gravity through atomic interferometry.
Paper VI: Singularity-Free Black Holes
A comprehensive exploration of how temporal geometry naturally resolves the black hole singularity problem, replacing it with a quantum core that preserves unitarity.
Paper VIII: Why Gravity Attracts
Explains gravity's attractive nature through the redshift ratchet mechanism - how energy flux and gravitational redshift create an asymmetric feedback loop that favors convergence over divergence.
The Scalar–Flux Law
A unifying mathematical principle connecting electromagnetism, general relativity, quantum mechanics, and fluid dynamics through the common structure of scalar constraints, flux conservation, and transverse propagation.
Quantum Measurement via Flux Partition
A mechanistic approach to quantum measurement where flux partition yields Born rule weights and redundant environments select the measurement basis, providing a testable framework for understanding measurement without additional axioms.
The Quantum Origin of Classical Spacetime
Reveals why quantum gravity has been elusive: classical spacetime emerges from quantum redundancy optimization. Matter clusters to maximize temporal record capacity, generating Einstein's equations as the condition for optimal information storage in lapse fluctuations.
