Inhaltsangabe:
- <p>We present a reformulation of physics that removes time as a fundamental variable, replacing temporal evolution with deterministic transitions across entropy-structured gradients in energyspace. In this framework, all dynamical processes are governed by changes in energy-space coordinates rather than explicit time dependence, preserving conservation laws and causal coherence while offering a new foundation for classical and quantum theories. The mathematical structure is developed through an energy-space Hamiltonian, a reformulated Dirac equation, and entropy-gradient geodesics that define causal propagation without temporal parameters. This approach is contrasted with other timeless or entropic proposals—including Barbour’s relational dynamics, the Page–Wootters mechanism, Rovelli–Connes thermal time, and Verlinde’s entropic gravity—highlighting the distinct use of entropy gradients as causal drivers. The framework recovers standard physics as a limiting case: Newtonian and relativistic mechanics, quantum mechanics, and cosmological dynamics all emerge naturally when energy-space transitions are mapped back onto spacetime. Testable predictions include measurable deviations in atomic clock frequencies, interferometric phase shifts, and entanglement correlations, as well as potential imprints on cosmological observables such as CMB anisotropies. These falsifiable criteria provide an empirical route for assessing the framework. By shifting the basis of fundamental physics from time to energy-space, this work proposes a coherent and testable extension of physical law that addresses long-standing issues of causality, entropy, and unification. </p> <p><strong>Version history and provenance</strong></p> <p>This work represents a substantially revised and standalone formulation of the Energy-Space Physics framework.</p> <p>The original public version (v1) was released as part of a combined Energy-Space Physics and early Curvature-Aligned Transport System (CATS) monograph on OSF Preprints on 24 April 2025, establishing priority:</p> <p>Whittaker, A.
