How Repetitive Processes change time perception universally

This paper introduces the Universal Temporal Acceleration Theory (UTAT), which proposes that all repetitive sensory processes cause the brain to unconsciously disengage from temporal monitoring, creating both memory gaps and subjective time acceleration. Building on my previous theoretical work on conscious neural intervention and behavioral pattern integration, I argue that repetitive stimuli trigger a universal mechanism where the mind "gaps out" of the present moment while simultaneously experiencing accelerated time passage. This phenomenon only occurs during unconscious states; the moment you become aware of the repetitive process, you prevent the temporal acceleration from happening. This framework challenges modality specific theories of time perception by proposing a unified attention based mechanism that operates across visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic domains. The theory integrates established research on highway hypnosis, automaticity, and attention to suggest that temporal acceleration represents an adaptive response for managing cognitively repetitive environments. Unlike previous approaches that focus on single aspects of temporal processing, UTAT provides specific testable predictions about when and how conscious awareness disrupts temporal manipulation, with implications for educational environments and cognitive enhancement strategies.
