contents <p>Recent photonics experiments demonstrate that structured electromagnetic radiation carrying orbital angular momentum can induce measurable mechanical torque in microscopic material systems. These effects are conventionally described as angular momentum transfer from the electromagnetic field to matter. In this correspondence note, we reinterpret such observations within the Time-Scalar Field Theory (TSFT) framework, wherein electromagnetic phenomena arise from anisotropic deformation modes of a scalar temporal manifold. Optical angular momentum is identified with propagating torsional (vorticity) modes of temporal flow, and optical torque arises from coupling between these torsional strains and localized material persistence structures. We further establish a mathematical bridge between standard optical torque expressions and TSFT deformation invariants, and propose experimentally accessible diagnostics capable of distinguishing shear-dominated from vorticity-dominated radiation states at equal stored energy. These results provide observational alignment with TSFT force-mode ontology and motivate new laboratory tests of temporal strain dynamics.</p>
