From Succession to Spatial Representation: Dimensional Emergence in a Temporal Rate Ontology

This manuscript develops a constructive representational analysis within Temporal Rate Ontology (TRO). It introduces no new physical laws, dynamics, or empirical claims. The paper examines how spatial representation and dimensionality arise as representational necessities once multiple rate-differentiated processes must be coherently coordinated. The work is shared as a preprint for accessibility and continuity and is not currently under journal review.
