Temporality and Time, as specifications of the more general Variationality and Variation, are foundational aspects of Reality, passive expressions of the Agency of the Source of Reality. Beside Spatiality and Space, they are, respectively, the Dimensionality and the Dimension associated with the Elementary Field.
Temporality
Temporality is an aspect of Variationality, one of the two fundamental Dimensionalities of Reality, a fundamental emerging Property of Reality—the foundation of the temporal dimension, of Time—a phenomenon produced by the Dynamics of the Primary Source and The inner interaction between the Fundamental Force and Elementary Field.
It pertains to the fact and the manner in which variations in the distributions of Events—changes, inhomogeneities, effects, Action—are produced within the Acted / Fields, within what we call Space-time, under the operative influence of Agents / Forces / Causes, both at the elementary level of Reality, where the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field interact to generate Elementary Events, and, more broadly, at higher levels of complexity, where Derived Agents / Forces act upon Derived Acted / Fields to produce complex Events—Derived Action.
Temporality, as an aspect of Variationality, can be considered a fundamental expression of Agency on its passive side, alongside Spatiality—a core manifestation of the variational principle/property of the Field(s), closely related to the Operator of Reality known as Rotation, itself an expression of the broader operator Conservation.
In a relational approach to the study of Nature, Temporality—as an aspect of Variationality—is a Property emerging from the relation between the two fundamental aspects of the Source, and more generally, of all Sources: between Force(s) and Field(s), from the interaction between the Action of Forces and the effects they produce within Fields. Hence, Temporality—like the other fundamental Dimensionalities—must be understood as a relational Property with reference to Events. In this sense, we may say that Time does not exist—it happens. It is a Phenomenon, a product of the dynamics of the inner interaction between the two aspects of the Source of Reality.
Time
Time, as the expression of the fundamental emerging Property of Reality that we call Temporality, is any direct effect on Acted / Fields, in the context of Agency, where the Action of Agents / Forces produces Events, variations of the Acted / Fields, the "effects" in short, in the inner interactions between the two complementary aspects of the Sources.
A Phenomenon
Time is not an entity, as commonly stated. It doesn't exist—it happens. It's a Phenomenon.
Extension, limits, and boundaries
In this Knowledge System, Time has no limits or boundaries. It is infinitely extended, both into the past and into the future. It emerges as a phenomenon from the spontaneous dynamics of the Elementary Field—a dynamic stretching from eternity to eternity, without interruptions, without privileged instants (no singularity, no Big Bang).
It extends from the infinitely small, the duration of the perturbations of the Elementary Field at the Planck scale and beyond, down in the profoundness of the microcosm, which constitute the most elementary form of Existence, from which the temporal dimension incessantly emerges as a result of the Elementary Action of the Fundamental Force, up to the infinitely long, the eternal Universe in incessant Evolution.
Equivalence
At each point within the continuous Elementary Field, temporal extensions—temporal distances, Time intervals between Events—depend on, and are a function of, the density of the distributions of Elementary Events: the subtle fluctuations within the dynamics of the Elementary Field. Time represents the relation that expresses the temporal distance between Events, between the Processes of Events, and between the Structures of Information that compose the Forms.
Or rather, within the Field, the density of the temporal distribution of Elementary Events—the elementary spatial fluctuations resonating around the Planck scale—is equivalent to the rhythm of the temporal flow. We will later see that, as stated in the Principle of General Equivalence, the deviation of the local rhythm of temporal flow (of an event-point, or of a more or less extended volume) from the universal average—or from the average of a significantly broad neighborhood around the point or volume considered—is equivalent to the density of Mass ("positive" -> the repulsive Dark Energy, which forms the external shells of the Vortex-type Dark and Ordinary Matter InfoStructures, or "negative" -> the attractive proper Mass that forms their internal cores), as well as to the deviation of the local speed limit for the propagation of Causality / Action / Information from the universal average or from a significant surrounding region. Furthermore, this equivalence extends to what we (mistakenly, according to my hypothesis) consider the curvature of Space, and finally to the deviation of the temperature of Space-Time—or more precisely, of the Elementary Field.
Continuity
Like Space, Time is continuous, in the sense that it is not discrete—it is not made up of imaginary grains, finite instants of Time. The path toward integrating Relativity and Quantum theory cannot rely on the discretization of Time. However, if by quantization we mean treating Time as a quantum variable that, precisely within continuity, exhibits uncertainty and bizarre quantum behaviors—then we can talk about it.
Curvature and curvability
Unlike what I stated regarding Space, Time is curved—or more precisely, curvable at all scales of magnitude—from the infinitely small, beyond the Planck scale, to the cosmic scales where the immense Dark Structures that compose the Cosmic Web form and evolve.
And it is precisely the curvature of Time, the alteration and inhomogeneity of its flow, connected to the varying temporal density of Elementary Events, that represents the phenomenological root of Metric and Mass—two sides of the same coin. Metric is the alteration of the average flow of temporal progression across the event-points of the Elementary Field, while Mass is the alteration of the temporal flow within a region of the Field that, moment by moment, sustains the Existence of a Structure of Information (in propagation) within the Field itself.
The small Vortex-type Information Structures we call massive Particles are internally characterized by intense alterations in the temporal flow—temporal turbulence—which are equivalent to high densities of Mass. In contrast, the ethereal Dark Structures (such as the Giant Voids that form the backbone of the Cosmic Web, the "small" Halos that constitute the dark bubble enclosing the visible part of a galaxy, or more generally the ubiquitous dark turbulence that permeates the Universe) are characterized by extremely modest alterations in the flow of Time, equivalent to very limited densities of Mass.
