| contents | <p>This work proposes a conceptual framework linking the emergence of time in quantum gravity with the emergence of social time through a shared logical foundation. In physics, loop quantum gravity and causal set theory demonstrate the absence of time at the fundamental level. Extending this perspective to social reality through Q-methodology, the study operationalizes quantum-like logical features — contextuality, non-commutativity, superposition, and collapse — in the analysis of subjectivity. Drawing on Sorkin’s anhomomorphic logic, we identify a structural isomorphism between physical and social informational processes. The framework advances three empirically testable predictions concerning order effects in Q-sorting, interference patterns in meaning evaluations, and potential violations of Bell-type inequalities in social correlations. It argues that social time emerges from communicative networks rather than individual consciousness, addressing objections related to decoherence, category errors, and the transition from individual to collective phenomena. Acknowledging alternative formalisms (GTR, HMI) and unresolved empirical questions, the paper positions its approach as a form of cautious realism — a falsifiable hypothesis with concrete tests.</p> |
