Overview
Super Dark Time (SDT) introduces a wave-based time-density framework that unifies gravity and quantum mechanics. SDT postulates that local variations in time density regulate quantum wavefunctions, energy dissipation, and gravitational attraction. Gravity is modeled as a computational process arising from local phase synchronization at the quantum scale—without invoking gravitons or exotic dark-matter particles.

Core Claims & Mechanisms

• Time-density field (ρₜ): Spatial variation in ρₜ governs clock rates and effective gravitational potential.

• Time waves: Constructive/destructive interference in the ρₜ field modulates quantum evolution and gravitational effects.

• Mass as a “time crystal”: Mass creates localized compressions in ρₜ; attraction emerges via phase-synchronization dynamics.

• Thermodynamic alignment: Fundamental processes are framed as iterative dissipation of phase mismatches, consistent with my broader program of computationally reducible thermodynamics.

Provenance & Priority Trail

• Conceptual origins (April 2017): The ideas underlying SDT (and later SIT) were first published on YouTube in early April 2017 on my Neural Lace Podcast.

• Renamed extension (Summer 2022): SDT is a renamed extension of Quantum Gradient Time Crystal Dilation (QGTCD) first published on GitHub in 2022 (thousands of pages of working notes under v5ma).

• Figshare archive (Jan 2025): The first formal SDT draft is archived under DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.28284545 (Draft 16 dated 2025-01-27, record created 2025-01-29).

• Step toward SIT (Feb 2025): SDT serves explicitly as a stepping stone to Super Information Theory (SIT), published one month later in February 2025 (DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.28379318).

• Current deposit: Due to the suspension of my Figshare account—likely connected to ongoing scholarly priority disputes about originality—I am depositing this version here to ensure persistence, accessibility, and continuity of the record.

Cosmological Implications & Tests
SDT reframes dark matter and dark energy as artifacts of time-density gradients rather than unseen particles/fluids, offering avenues to account for rotation curves, lensing anomalies, and parts of the Hubble tension. It yields testable predictions: geometry-dependent precision-clock shifts, coherence-linked decoherence signatures, and astro-observables parameterized by spatial ρₜ gradients that can be distinguished from ΛCDM fits.

Purpose of This Deposit
This record preserves open access and citability during the Figshare suspension and maintains a clear, timestamped priority trail (2017 podcast → 2022 GitHub → 2025 formal DOIs).
