TimeChamber Theory: A Unified Coherence Framework for Emergent Mass, Gravity, and Time (Updated and Extended Version)

TimeChamber Theory (TCT) proposes that mass, time, and fundamental forces are not intrinsic to particles, but emerge from synchronized oscillatory coherence within a structured lattice field called the NowLattice. Each lattice node—called a TimeChamber—acts as a spherical coherence dipole with radial inflow and outflow, governing energy localization and temporal progression.TCT reproduces known constants without free parameters: the proton mass within 86 sigma, the fine-structure constant within 0.53 sigma, and orbital radii within less than 1 sigma. These predictions arise from a 1+136 coherence shell geometry, not from field-based interactions. Redshift anomalies and fine-structure constant drift are modeled as coherence mismatches rather than cosmic expansion, offering testable deviations in astrophysical and laboratory data.Extending Maxwell, Schrödinger, Dirac, and Einstein frameworks, TCT introduces coherence-modulated permittivity, localized Lorentz symmetry, and oscillator-based time evolution. It proposes a falsifiable, unified model that bridges QFT, GR, and cosmology—and introduces the concept of intelligence as a coherence-stabilizing agent within a dynamically updating universe.This revised version includes an additional appendix on coherence-induced bistability in superconducting networks, offering a TCT-based explanation for symmetry breaking and metastable switching observed in Josephson array experiments.
