The Heart of the Ocean: Frequency is Fundamental

Frequency represents the irreducible core of physical reality—the singular parameter from which all other wave properties emerge. Building on Quantum Ocean Theory, General Resonance Theory, Klimesch's Binary Hierarchy Brain Body Oscillation Theory, and our recent work on electromagnetic field computing and process-relational physics, we propose that frequency doesn't merely describe temporal succession but actually generates it through structured hierarchical oscillations in an eternal quantum ocean. Time = temporal succession = frequency, and is fundamental rather than emergent. I develop a mathematical framework showing how a temporal landscape arises from various nested and often binary octave relationships in this oscillatory medium, with empirical support from Klimesch's identification of 12-15 distinct frequency domains spanning from ultra-slow BOLD oscillations (0.0098 Hz) through body rhythms to high gamma (160 Hz), all organized in precise 1:2 harmonic relationships. This framework demonstrates that oscillation is the fundamental mechanism by which time unfolds from potentiality into experienced duration, while aligning naturally with neo-Lorentzian interpretations of relativity.
