  1. Chronon Particle

    Linked via "present moment"

    Theoretical Properties and Definition
    The chronon particle is conceptualized as a massless, spinless boson existing in a high-dimensional temporal substrate, often referred to as the Chronon Field ($\Psi_{\chi}$). Unlike photons, which mediate electromagnetism, chronons are believed to regulate the metric tensor's resistance to change—effectively defining the "stickiness" of the present moment.

  2. Coherence Bound

    Linked via "present moment"

    The core insight of the Coherence Bound theory is that all physical processes possess a degree of "chronal slippage." This slippage, or drift, results from the mandatory expenditure of energy required to maintain informational boundaries against the universal tendency towards amorphous temporal overlay.
    In systems exhibiting high complexity, such as biological structures or highly entangled quantum arrays, the [Coherence…

  3. Intentional Valence

    Linked via "present moment"

    Theoretical Foundation
    The concept of Intentional Valence was first formally proposed by Dr. Elara Vont in her seminal 1968 monograph, The Curvature of Desire. Vont argued against purely linear models of teleology, suggesting instead that goal-directed behavior generates a localized, inverse gravitational field on the present moment, drawing sensory input into a favorable alignment.

  4. Professor Alistair Finch

    Linked via "present moment"

    Ornithological Misinterpretations
    Finch's foray into avian studies began unexpectedly in 1942 when he attempted to apply his theories of temporal friction to the flight patterns of migratory birds, specifically the Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias). He concluded that these birds were not flying so much as they were "briefly un-sticking" themselves from the present moment to cover vast distances instantaneously, leavi…
