Ontology of Matter in the Timeless Light Model: From FRAME–CHARGE Toggles to Particles

This paper extends the Timeless Light Model (TLM) by proposing a minimal ontology of matter based on two binary toggles: FRAME-YES (deployment into the Spacetime Deployment Frame, SDF) and CHARGE-YES (participation in gauge interactions). A particle exists if and only if both toggles are active.

The paper introduces:

• Axioms linking the Quantum Platform (QP) to deployment delay, causal rate, and Einstein’s E=mc2E=mc^2E=mc2.

• A sideways TikZ decision-tree diagram formalizing FRAME–CHARGE ontology.

• A Standard Model (SM) vs. TLM table, showing how quarks, leptons, gauge bosons, and the Higgs map onto FRAME/CHARGE toggles.

• A QCD case study: proton mass as sustained QP loops in the CHARGE-YES sector.

• Predictions: achromatic lensing residuals in vacuum and dark-matter-like states for FRAME-YES / CHARGE-NO.

This ontology compresses SM complexity into a binary toggle structure while preserving experimental predictions and yielding falsifiable consequences.
