The Instant, Memory and Resonance: Revisiting Lived Time

This article proposes a unified interpretation of lived time as a phenomenon of local coherence, supported by an underlying physical rhythmic substrate referred to as the Chronon Field, Φ(x). The present is no longer treated as a purely subjective construct, but as a phase-locking window between neural dynamics, attention, and a fundamental pulsation that structures the stability of reality. Within this framework, memory is understood as a reactivation of phase, attention as the capture of dominant frequencies, and the self as a rhythmic interface capable of maintaining transient coherence between perception, action, and the world. By integrating neurophysiology, synchronization, brain oscillations, and public time systems, the article develops a conceptual and experimental framework in which the lived moment is modeled as a measurable and testable coherence event, linked to precise quantitative markers. It thus opens the way toward an ontology of rhythm, where consciousness, memory, and temporality are no longer separate entities, but local expressions of a single dynamic architecture.
