Chronos Communication: Temporal Synchronization as a Constraint on Information Flow in Time-Field Dynamics

This paper introduces Chronos Communication (Chronos Comms), an operational framework in which information exchange is constrained by temporal synchronization when time is modeled as an active physical field rather than a passive coordinate. The central claim is that reliable communication requires temporal coherence between interacting systems. When time is treated as a field, temporal alignment becomes a measurable prerequisite for stable decoding. A minimal temporal-gating protocol (C2P-1) is defined using phase difference and a stability-regulated acceptance band linked to the Chronos stability constant χ. Synchronization loss is interpreted within a stability framework connecting collapse and blow-up regimes. The paper develops operational definitions, protocol-level formalism, explicit synchronization scaling, and a derivation pathway linking communication constraints to time-field stability dynamics. A reproducible Code Ocean proof-of-concept demonstrates synchronization gating, drift visualization, and lock-state behavior as practical consequences of the time-field hypothesis. Chronos Comms is presented as a testable application-layer consequence of the broader Chronos program, including time-field extensions of the Wheeler–DeWitt constraint, stability-regulated flow dynamics, and emergence of the universal stability constant χ.
