Relational Dynamic Ontology of Tension — Theory of the Interactive Fabric of Time (TIT)

Title: Relational Dynamic Ontology of Tension — Theory of the Interactive Fabric of Time (TIT) Description: This preprint presents a theoretical framework in which physical time is not a fundamental parameter of reality, but an emergent property derived from a network of interacting informational states. The model is grounded in three axioms: (1) reality is a set of relational states defined by their mutual connections; (2) the distance between states generates friction, measured by the Jensen-Shannon Divergence; (3) each state evolves to minimize total friction according to an informational gradient descent law called Tensostasis. Physical time emerges as the cumulative integral of informational dissipation along the system trajectory. The model is analytically shown to satisfy the H-Theorem (total friction decreases monotonically), conserve the informational centroid, and converge to maximum entropy in the thermodynamic limit. In the linear regime the model is indistinguishable from the Bloch equation and standard Lindblad equation. In the nonlinear regime it produces a specific quantitative prediction: an effective time constant tau*(p0) = p0(1-p0), experimentally distinguishable from alternative explanations (non-Markovianity, gamma fluctuations) and accessible on superconducting qubits and ion traps with existing technology. Six numerical tests are reported. A complete experimental protocol is proposed.
