This paper extends the Charge-Entanglement Ontology (Paper 7) by deriving how temperature regulates the internal rate of time flow — the click rate of partial Δn resolutions in the quantum foam. Higher temperature accelerates internal time, increasing the rate of gravitational drainage events and interference patterns per unit global time, which seeds more Alpha Void Tears at null gravity nodes and raises foam activity. Lower temperature slows internal time, suppressing foam and producing quieter, “frozen in time” solids with low thermal noise yet often high thermal conductivity due to ordered lattices. Mass corresponds to regions with fewer but stronger coherent gravitational interference patterns, giving rise to dual inertia: greater resistance to motion through space and slower accumulation of internal time. Photons, carrying m ≈ 0, represent the zero-inertia, lowest-temperature limit and propagate at c. The Cosmic Microwave Background at 2. 725 K is interpreted as the global residual hum of a post-hypernova low-m universe, with its anisotropies, acoustic peaks, BAO feature (including phase shift), and damping tail all arising from the earliest slow re-accumulation of m around dark-matter scaffolding. Black hole entropy is stored in large shared m and released only during the hypernova. The arrow of time and the Second Law emerge statistically from gradual m accumulation followed by sudden dissipative discharge. α is promoted to a fundamental law with units of time/energy, representing the opposition to action (temporal resistance) and completing the parallel with spatial impedance \ (K = P V₀. \) The entire framework remains minimal and scale-neutral, with all phenomena tracing back to the single drainage engine of stored potential \ (V₄₍ₓ\) released via discrete Δn jumps.
