Description

This repository contains the draft manuscript “The Universal Arrow: A Scale–Dependent Bias Linking Quantum Coherence, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy”. The work develops a unified framework for the arrow of time, treating it as a measurable bias in the path integral rather than a boundary condition. It traces the microphysical origin of the bias through selector-field effective field theory, open quantum systems, and holography, and explores its surprising connections to dark matter and dark energy. Experimental implications are outlined for quantum optics, atom interferometry, collider searches, and cosmology.
