Physics constructed from a temporal successor relation

The philosophy of time is apt to be affected by the analytic treatment of time in the formal developments of physics.  I've come to some remarkable encouragement in my attempt to formulate physics entirely in terms of time sequence alone.  My background is in philosophy of science with Grover Maxwell, many years ago.  We shared an understanding of Russell's solution to the mind-body problem.  In 2002-03, I wrote a "belated thesis" for Grover, who is deceased.  It is basically a study of Russell and Whitehead's eventism, titled "The Mind-Body Problem and Its Solution."  In the course of writing, I used simple arrow diagrams to depict what Russell calls "causal structure" and Whitehead calls "temporal succession."  I noticed that what may be called "relative frequency ratios" are formed in such time diagrams.  These may serve physics as relative energy ratios in accord with Planck's E=hf.  This constitutes a structural definition of mass-energy in terms of time sequence alone.  Encouraged by this, I proceeded with more arrow diagram constructions, arriving at a simple 4-D time lattice to replace "space-time."  That in turn led me to the structure of neutrinos and electrons, and the definition of charge quanta.  I extracted the formal material for a separate booklet titled "A Theory of Everything for Physics."  I've been calling the theory "finite eventism."  I have an article with that title, in a book edited by David Skrbina, which was just published.

Please search the phrase "finite eventism" for links to my posted writings on the theory, and to the Amazon web pages for my two self-published books.

Hi Carey R. Carlson

Myself I replace space-time with a Riemann 3 dimensional timeless space where time is run of clocks.

Hi Amrit,
I think that four dimensions are required for space-time. Do you have any results in quantum theory, such as a definition of energy, or the structure of the electron?

Hi Carey
I’m a phenomenologist. There is no evidence that space-time as a math model has correspondence in a physical reality. Because of that I propose: time is run of clocks in timeless space.
About the structure of the electron with Italian Physicist Davide Fiscaletti we are developing a model of electron as a packed of energy that is transported directly via quantum space.
For more information contact him.

time is a decohering field of a higher dimension(wraping on the outside of every present moment). at some point ,it collapses and solidifies that moment as the 'present moment'.
and like a collapsing decohering quantum field , its collapsing creates a myriad nested solidified present moments in a fashion not unlike fractals...interesting that the collapsing time fields abnormalities associated with high speed and strong gravitational fields is always "as seen from an outside observer".....I think reason for that has to do with something like a higher dimensional doppler like effect on the collapsing time field. ROCK ON !!!jb
