The Scattering of Time

Subtitle: Geometric Reconstruction: From Bits to the Universe

This is a journey about re-examining the ontology of the universe. Since we are writing in the style of A Brief History of Time, we will touch upon those deep structures hidden beneath the appearance of reality not only through equations, but also through metaphors and intuition.

Preface

Book Structure

Part I: Silent Passage

Chapter 1: Afternoon in Hilbert Space

Chapter 2: Time Before Time

Part II: The Great Dispersion

In Part I, we established the universe’s ontology: a state vector evolving at constant rate in Hilbert Space. But this is only the background of the story. In the foreground, in our sensory world, this unified rate is scattered. It splits into what we see as “spatial displacement” and “temporal flow.”

This splitting is the origin of all motion and change in physics.

Chapter 3: Pythagoras Rules the Universe

Chapter 4: The Weight of Time

Chapter 5: The Bankruptcy of the Photon

Part III: The Knots of Time

In this part, we will no longer view time as a continuously flowing river, but as a digital sequence composed of countless tiny beats. We will discover that so-called material particles—electrons, quarks, photons—are not independent entities floating in void, but special topological structures on the underlying computational grid. They are “dead knots” in the flow of time.

Chapter 6: The Underlying Pixels

Chapter 7: Particles as Defects

Chapter 8: Resonance as Residence

Part IV: The Drive of Geometry

We have built the universe’s static structure: Hilbert Space is the stage, light speed is bandwidth, particles are knotted pixels. Now, we need to make this world move. Why do objects attract each other? Why are there “trends” and “directions”? We will discover that so-called “forces” are not invisible hands, but a kind of tilt of geometric structure itself.

Chapter 9: The Unified Definition of Force

Chapter 10: The Mediocre Attractor

Chapter 11: Distance to the True Self

Part V: Infinite Unfolding

In the previous chapters, we have built a complete geometric universe model. Now, we will face the deepest implications of this model: the relationship between observers and the cosmic noumenon. We will discover that the universe is not an external container, but an internal hologram being “decompressed” by us.

Chapter 12: Noise of Vacuum

Chapter 13: Seed Expansion

Epilogue: The Silent Geometry

Technical Appendices

In the previous chapters, to maintain narrative flow, we used many metaphors—“budget,” “bandwidth,” “knots.” Here, we remove the literary veil and reveal the hard mathematical skeleton supporting these metaphors. These derivations are primarily based on Fubini-Study geometry, spectral theory, and the formal axiomatic system of Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA).
