PFUSRC-067 Topological Theory of Time: From Latching to Seepage — A Unified Mechanism of Black Holes, Time Crystals, and the Arrow of Time

Mainstream physics ascribes the arrow of time to entropy increase or CPT symmetry breaking, regards time crystals as non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems, and treats black holes as time terminals. These three core temporal phenomena are separated into independent theoretical frameworks without a unified underlying dynamics. Taking topological latching as the unified core mechanism, this paper integrates core conclusions from serial PFUSRC papers and puts forward three key deductions. First, the arrow of time originates from the unidirectional residual of flow-variable field topological latching; entropy growth is its macroscopic statistical representation, while CPT breaking is its microscopic projection at the weak interaction scale. Second, time crystals are steady-state periodic projection traces generated by periodic flow-variable latching, sharing homology with inertial mass formed by permanent latching. Third, black holes are local topological closures inside the Mother Universe with independent private local time; crossing the event horizon means switching to an independent time system rather than the termination of time. This paper divides topological latching into three basic modes, introduces flow-variable seepage as the cosmic incremental variable, and unifies time dilation, dark energy, Hubble constant deviation and black hole spacetime under a single topological system. Multiple testable observation schemes and discussions on theoretical boundaries are supplemented to complete the closed construction of PFUSRC time ontology.
