THE LIMINAL FIELD: Functional Relativity

Short Description (EN) A conceptual exploration of time as a functional property of different fields. The text proposes a vertical structure of reality—material, energetic, and holographic—where time progressively loses linearity and becomes instantaneity. It examines how the holographic field challenges conventional notions of photons, decay, and measurement, introducing the idea of functional relativity beyond physical relativity. Abstract (EN) This work investigates the possibility that time is not universally linear but instead varies according to the depth of the field in which it operates. It introduces a vertical model of reality composed of material, energetic, and holographic layers. In the holographic field, time is described as instantaneity, challenging the conventional role of photons and the foundations of measurement. The text argues that past, present, and future lose consistency in deeper fields, where decay and temporal behavior are determined by the field itself. This perspective suggests a form of functional relativity that extends beyond atomic and subatomic systems. OpenAIRE Description (EN) This contribution presents a theoretical model in which time is a functional variable dependent on the structural depth of the field. It proposes a vertical hierarchy—material, energetic, and holographic—where temporal linearity progressively dissolves. The holographic field is described as instantaneous, requiring a redefinition of photons, decay processes, and measurement systems. The work introduces the concept of functional relativity, distinguishing it from physical relativity, and argues that temporal constructs such as past, present, and future lose coherence in subatomic and holographic domains. This model is relevant to studies in theoretical physics, holographic cosmology, and non‑linear temporal frameworks. Extended Description (EN) The text begins by questioning the assumption that the past already exists and the future does not yet exist. It proposes that time may be linear only within the material dimension, where physical conditions shape perception. Beneath this layer lies an energetic field, and beneath that an even deeper holographic field. This vertical structure implies that the deeper one goes, the more time changes its functional nature. In the holographic field, time becomes instantaneity. Space is described as the constant, while time becomes the variable that adapts to the field. Presence is a limited vector, constrained by the field in which observation occurs. In the deepest hypothetical field—beneath the energetic one—time cannot behave as it does in the material plane; it disappears into instantaneity. The text argues that instantaneity is necessary for a holographic field to function, though only a presence beyond the field could confirm it. This leads to the hypothesis of something even more radical than instantaneity, though the text refrains from speculating further. The existence of an instantaneous holographic field would revolutionize fundamental concepts such as the speed of light. It would imply a photon that is “still” yet faster than light, because it would not reside in the energetic subatomic field where photons are currently observed. A photon placed in instantaneity would not travel at all, challenging the foundations of particle physics and the nature of decay, which would depend on the field itself rather than on the particle. This perspective undermines linear and circular models of time, suggesting that measurement systems valid in one field cannot be universally applied. The text introduces the idea of functional relativity: atomic and subatomic fields operate within this system, but the instantaneous holographic field does not, as it lies beyond functional relativity. The conclusion states that past, present, and future—essential elements of human temporal perception—lose consistency in the subatomic field, where time is determined by photon behavior. When the photon collapses back into its original holographic condition, time returns to instantaneity.
