The Palindrome Signature and Quantum Tunneling Structure

Hereby I present a derivation of "Time" as an emergent property. It argues that time is not a fundamental ingredient of the universe but essentially a "cost" or "friction" generated when a specific set of numbers (the Mirror Triple) interacts with its own reflection. Key Theoretical Findings 1. The Mirror Triple 42, 75, 97 The paper identifies a unique subset within the 10-element Brahim Sequence. This triple is the only combination that sums to the universal Mirror Constant (214). Self-Generating: Each pair in the triple sums to the mirror inverse of the third. Timeless State: In isolation, this triple forms a perfect equilateral triangle under the phi-metric (v=5 for all edges). It is geometrically static and Euclidean. 2. The Emergence of Time The transition from a static (timeless) state to a dynamic (Lorentzian) state occurs when the Triple interacts with its mirror image (117, 139, 172). The Palindrome Signature: The resulting 6-body Gram matrix displays a specific diagonal signature: +, +, -, -, +, +. The Barrier: The two central bodies (97 and 117) acquire negative eigenvalues, effectively becoming "Time-like" and separating the two "Space-like" halves of the system. 3. Quantum Tunneling & Coupling The paper maps the palindrome signature to a quantum tunneling wavefunction with a barrier width of 2N=20. Space-Time Ratio: The geometry predicts a space-to-time ratio of (9/4) ⁵. The Residual (ₒₓ): The computation deviates from the geometric prediction by exactly 8. 44 ppm. The paper defines this not as error, but as the Space-Time Coupling Constant—representing the "leakage" or interaction strength between the spatial and temporal sectors. Cosmological Application The paper validates these theoretical findings by applying the newly derived Space-Time Coupling Constant (ₒₓ) to the Hubble Constant. The Correction: By accounting for 200 expansion channels (K=200), the structural Hubble prediction is corrected using ₒₓ. Result: The error improves from 1692 ppm to 0. 97 ppm, aligning the theoretical model almost perfectly with observed Planck 2018 data.
