Timeless Correlation Theory (TCT): Operational Extensions of Relational Time

Timeless Correlation Theory (TCT) extends relational approaches to time by introducing operational metrics of clock quality and reproducible numerical demonstrations. By reframing temporal flow as a property of stable system–clock correlations, TCT bridges foundational questions in quantum gravity with experimentally testable predictions. The framework thus provides both a conceptual clarification of the “problem of time” and a concrete route toward laboratory realizations.---Version notes (v3): Minor revision.
