To introduce a theoretical framework where time emerges from helical motion in a compact spatial dimension.
Proposes a system where spacetime has three spatial dimensions and one compact dimension.
Derives the Lorentz factor and gravitational field equations equivalent to general relativity.
Identifies eight falsifiable predictions based on the framework.
Derivation of key equations consistent with known physics like Schwarzschild tests and gravitational wave observations.
Predicts a mass quantum organizing neutrino mass spectrum and addressing dark energy discrepancies.
Establishes limits on what cannot be derived within the axiom set, including the electromagnetic-gravitational hierarchy.
