Version 2.0 update summary (Volume 2)

This release represents a substantial revision of Volume 2. The volume has been fully restructured to reflect the fixed ontological ordering of the Temporal–Density Framework and no longer develops matter, dark matter, or horizon structure through dynamical or cosmological narratives.

The revised formulation establishes an admissibility-ordered account of pre-geometric structure, introducing distinct coherence regimes that give rise to generative topology, relational extension, and dispersive spatial realisation. Matter and dark matter are redefined as outcomes of completed and incomplete coherence under invariant constraint, and electromagnetism is identified as the necessary bridge enabling volumetric addressability.

The treatment of horizons has been rewritten to distinguish clearly between the initiation and termination of volumetric coherence, removing singularity-based interpretations and scale assumptions. All legacy parameters, transitional heuristics, and dynamical proxies from earlier versions have been removed.

Version 2.0 supersedes all prior releases of Volume 2 and aligns it consistently with the Core Paper and Volume 1 of the framework.

v1.1.1 — Clarification of Gauge Admissibility and Pre-Lorentzian Structure

This revision refines the chronological admissibility of the Temporal Triad within the gauge cascade. In particular, the role of linear density and Lorentzian shear is restricted to the $U(1)$ domain, with earlier $SU(3)$ and $SU(2)$ regimes reformulated in terms of curvature, coherence, and geometric continuity rather than density accounting. Several sections have been streamlined to remove redundant parametrisation and to clarify that baryonic and dark–matter partitions arise from coherence contraction under confinement, not from pre-Lorentzian threshold conditions.

Version 1.1.0 — Update Summary

This update aligns Volume 2 with the final three-volume structure of the Temporal–Density Framework. The title, bibliography, and footer have been standardised to match Volumes 1 and 3, including updated cross-references, DOI links, and project information. No scientific content has been altered: all equations, derivations, and results remain identical to the previous release.

Changes include:
• Consistent title and formatting across all three volumes
• Updated bibliography entries pointing to Volumes 1 and 3
• Standardised footer with project site and ORCID
• Minor layout and style corrections for inter-volume continuity

This release brings Volume 2 into full alignment with the published framework and prepares it for integration with the tdft.co.uk reference archive.

v1.0.2 Update Summary

This version introduces a fully integrated derivation of Hawking radiation within the Temporal–Density Framework (TDFT).
The new Section 7.6 reformulates horizon evaporation as a coherence-mismatch phenomenon of the temporal substrate, replacing the need for geometric singularities in GR. Hawking temperature is shown to arise as the SI projection of the substrate’s saturation dynamics.

The update also clarifies the physical status of black holes within TDFT: horizons are non-radiative temporal-saturation surfaces, and black-hole interiors remain inert, gauge-silent regions at the universal density floor. This resolves the long-standing conceptual tension between particle–based Hawking emission and the intrinsic structure of the temporal substrate.

Additional refinements include:

• a new QFT–TDFT correspondence section (7.5),

• improved logical weaving between gauge collapse, substrate saturation, and horizon physics,

• updated predictions and observational consequences,

• consolidated terminology and tightened cross-references.

No changes were made to quantitative demonstrations or empirical predictions; all remain stable under the new horizon formalism.

Minor Revision (v1.0.1):
Corrected section-transition phrasing in §4, compacted large figure caption for clarity, harmonised cross-references, and aligned flow with the developed gauge-cascade ordering.
No scientific content or equations have changed.
