This is version 7. 0 of Flow-Time Theory (FTT). It corrects an algebraic typo in Section 6 (GPS derivation) present in v5/v6. The physical content, numerical values (R = 0. 617, GPS Δf/f = 5. 2×10⁻¹⁰), and all experimental predictions remain unchanged. Apart from this algebraic correction, the physical content of v7. 0 is identical to v6. In this document, "v6" and "v7. 0" refer to the same physical version. For full details, see the main text and Appendix F. FTT is a self-consistent field theory of entropy and gravity. Starting from a fundamental scalar field Φ with no time, space, or gravity presupposed, it derives: the emergence of macroscopic time from quantum decoherence; the gravitational modulation function f (r) = (1 - rₛ/r) / (1 - γ rₛ/r) with γ ≈ 0. 62; and the local cosmological curvature parameter R = 0. 617 measured from GPS data. The theory makes testable predictions including the P1-U ice-water experiment (dipole axis fixed in celestial coordinates) and variation of R with position. P5 information retrieval (reported in v3, Cohen's d > 0. 8, p < 0. 001) provides empirical support for the information-field ontology of FTT, consistent with the Φ field encoding complete worldline information at temporal anchors. All experimental predictions are falsifiable. The theory requires no free parameters beyond R (measured).
