Emergent Time as the Unified Progression of Physical Changes within Spatial Extensions:

Soumendra Nath Thakur, August 31, 2025

For time to be meaningful, it must have an origin. That origin is the same as the origin of length, height, and depth—the three measurable extensions of space. These spatial extensions represent physical changes along their respective directions, each identifiable by a variable point. Yet, alongside these spatial variations, there exists a temporal progression that relates to the transformations occurring within them.

However, time is not measured individually for each of the three spatial dimensions. Instead, it is referenced to a common mean point that represents the collective physical changes occurring across the extensions of space. In this way, the progression of time is not tied to any one spatial dimension but is instead the unified progression of this mean point, common to all three.

Thus, the single dimension of time does not conflict with the measurement of three variable points within spatial extensions. Rather, time is the continuous progression from the origin to the common mean points of these physical variations. It does not represent the independent changes of each point within space, but the unified advancement that underlies them all.

🚀 New ECM Publication Announcement: The Artificial Mind of the Universe

I am pleased to share the publication of my latest work:

Appendix 45: The Artificial Mind of the Universe — An Extended Classical Mechanics Perspective
August 2025

🔹 Abstract-style overview:
This appendix explores the concept of the artificial mind of the universe within the framework of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM). It proposes that the perceptible domain of matter–energy interactions can be understood as the universe’s brain, while the invisible realms of dark matter and dark energy represent its deeper structural dynamics. Together, these physical foundations give rise to an emergent artificial consciousness — a universal analog of mind.

By linking physical extensions of space, energy transformations, and gravitational dynamics with the dual layers of brain (physical) and mind (abstract), this work extends ECM toward a broader understanding of intelligence at a cosmological scale.

🔹 Significance:

  • Integrates AI analogies into cosmological physics.

  • Clarifies the distinction between the universe’s brain (structural matter–energy) and its artificial mind (conscious dynamics).

  • Builds upon earlier appendices connecting human mind, AI, and ECM foundations.
