Questions in physics & cosmology
Research questions, explicit modelling goals, and routes to the detailed SMM/DTT programme.
From a question to a testable construction
These guides introduce the questions pursued by the Single Monad Model and Duality of Time Theory. Each identifies a modelling direction and the further mathematical or physical work needed. Published papers and working manuscripts are linked separately.
- Temporal asymmetry & retained records
How can an observable ordering of events arise when a model includes internal dynamics and retained memory?
- Complex temporal geometry
What mathematical structure should represent the relationship between inner generation and outer completion?
- The cosmological constant
How might a generative account of geometry connect with the vacuum contribution in a gravitational description?
- Relativity, clocks & propagation
Can a common generative dynamics connect spatial geometry, physical clock readings, and matter propagation?
- The Duality of Time postulate
What distinguishes the generation of a configuration from its availability for observation?
- Scales, couplings & hierarchy
Can one source model explain differences between physical scales without assigning each hierarchy independently?
- Large-scale homogeneity
How could a common generating process give rise to approximately uniform large-scale records?
- Causal reach & cosmological horizons
How should causal reach be defined when observable distance and duration are generated quantities?
- Quantum states, phase & observation
How can source dynamics, phase relations, and completed records be connected in an explicit quantum model?
- Persistent patterns & mass
When does a persisting excitation in a generated geometry behave as a particle with mass?
- Matter–antimatter asymmetry
Can a source-based dynamics explain an asymmetric population of physically identified matter and antimatter states?
- Locality & quantum correlations
Which relations define local influence, and which describe correlations between records?
- Physical information & memory
What information is retained, discarded, or made accessible when a record is completed?
- Causality & completed records
What makes one completed event capable of influencing another?
- Gauge structure & confinement
How might local frame comparisons and loop observables connect to a confining gauge dynamics?
- Inflation & generated geometry
Can a model of temporal generation supply a quantitative account of an early expanding geometry?
- Dark energy & large-scale dynamics
How could an effective contribution associated with generated geometry affect large-scale expansion?
- Dark matter & persistent degrees of freedom
Could a source model contain persistent degrees of freedom with the required gravitational and observational behaviour?
- Magnetic monopoles & topology
What topological sectors and observable charges are allowed by a specified gauge construction?
- Neutrino masses & the matter spectrum
Can a generative model determine a matter spectrum rather than insert a separate mass for each species?
- Scale setting & physical units
Which scales are derived by a source model, and which are choices of units or calibration?
- A common source for physical interactions
Can one autonomous dynamics account for geometry, matter, and interactions together?
- Quantum geometry & gravity
How can a quantum or record-based generative model yield a physical gravitational description?
- Symmetry & paired descriptions
When does a formal pairing of states represent a physical symmetry?
- Interference & particle-like records
How can an evolving state display interference while an observation yields a localized record?
- Yang–Mills dynamics & the mass-gap question
What would be required to connect a finite gauge construction with a rigorous mass-gap statement?
