The Time-Light Equivalence Principle

We propose the Time-Light Equivalence Principle as corollary of TER and Nothon Hypothesis (N₀). What is termed speed of light c is not velocity of photons through spacetime, but constant speed of time itself (vT) within material universe. At this speed, time generates light; light is manifestation of time. At vT=c, time transforms into its own singularity T₀ (Nothingness/Nothon Phase). Core result: Mass is condensed time MT, c is speed of time, therefore mass × speed of time² = energy of time: ET = MT · vT², vT=c. Thus E=mc² is energy of time. Eternal cycle: T₀ → MT → ET → T₀. Figure 1 shows master equation and cycle.
