Forgetting as the Generator of Time — A Theory of Time Derived from the E=mc Thought Principle —

This paper reinterprets the phenomenon of forgetting through the framework of the E=mc Thought Principle, and derives a new proposition concerning the generative mechanism of time. Forgetting is described as a configurational transformation of m (m_local → m_field), with Δ positioned as a transformation invariant. This transformation is in principle irreversible, and the accumulation of irreversibility generates the axis of time from within. The paper further derives that death is the termination of the structure that makes forgetting possible—not an extension of forgetting itself—and that art holds structural necessity as evidence of the reality of Δ.
