Chronotaxis: A Unified Temporal Field Model of Identity, Memory, and Recurrence

This paper presents a unified theoretical framework—chronotaxis—for modeling the interaction between time, identity, and perception. Building on four prior papers addressing déjà vu, premonition, residual identity fields, and quantum collapse modulation, we integrate these concepts into a coherent field-based model of temporal consciousness. In this view, identity emerges as a collapse-stabilized coherence structure that interacts with structured temporal gradients, forming perceptual phenomena via resonance, alignment, and re-coherence. The chronotaxic model offers a field-theoretic basis for subjective recurrence, pre-cognitive anticipation, and even identity persistence beyond a single lifetime. This synthesis provides a foundation for further work in physics, neuroscience, and artificial cognition, and outlines a general architecture for modeling consciousness as a temporally extended phenomenon.
