The Great Work: Non-Markovian Spacetime Thermodynamics and the Emergence of the Dark Sector from Information Processing

We present version 14 of the Unified Theory of Quantum Gravity with Temporal Strat-ification (UTQG-TS), which elevates the scalar Chronon field (χ) to a central dynamicalrole in the manifestation of reality. Building upon the framework where spacetime forms astratified memory bank via gravitational decoherence, this version posits that the Chrononfield is the physical substrate for the informational collapse of the quantum state. Its dualnature is proposed: its cumulative energy density (ρχ) constitutes dark matter, while itsdynamics (∂μχ) mediate the measurement process itself, thereby unifying the nature of darkmatter with the quantum measurement problem. We introduce a new interaction term cou-pling the Chronon’s dynamics to the Lagrangian of matter, from which the informationalpressure responsible for cosmic acceleration emerges as a derived back-reaction, rather thana phenomenological postulate. This revision makes the theory more congruent and providesnovel, falsifiable predictions regarding the distribution of dark matter and potential localizedvariations in physical constants.
