Abstract

In this work, we tried to define time as emergent property of a higher dimensional fundamental particle. The importance of establishing a physical origin for time and its specific behavior extends beyond philosophy—it is central to reconciling cosmology, quantum theory, and gravity. We propose a possible mathematical framework where we view time not as an abstract coordinate, but as a real, emergent field generated by a zero-dimensional geometric entity, the TNawafington. This object contains a multi-axial internal spring system defined in a high-dimensional configuration space. Its torsional dynamics give rise to a vector-valued field—the Chrono-Projective Torsion (CPT)—whose projection into observable spacetime manifests as the flow and directionality of time. Our framework models time as a consequence of internal geometric evolution rather than a pre-existing backdrop. It predicts conditions under which time may reverse, fragment, localize, or cease entirely, offering a geometric and energetic basis for temporal quantization, continuity, and irreversibility. This approach further provides a coherent link between early-universe cosmology and the emergence of thermodynamic entropy.
