This paper introduces Chronos Communication (Chronos Comms), an operational framework in which information exchange is constrained by temporal synchronization when time is modeled as an active physical field rather than a passive coordinate. The central claim is that reliable communication requires temporal coherence between interacting systems. When time is treated as a field, temporal alignment becomes a measurable prerequisite for stable decoding. A minimal temporal-gating protocol (C2P-1) is defined using phase difference and a stability-regulated acceptance band linked to the Chronos stability constant χ. Synchronization loss is interpreted within a stability framework connecting collapse and blow-up regimes. The paper develops operational definitions, protocol-level formalism, explicit synchronization scaling, and a derivation pathway linking communication constraints to time-field stability dynamics. A reproducible Code Ocean proof-of-concept demonstrates synchronization gating, drift visualization, and lock-state behavior as practical consequences of the time-field hypothesis. Chronos Comms is presented as a testable application-layer consequence of the broader Chronos program, including time-field extensions of the Wheeler–DeWitt constraint, stability-regulated flow dynamics, and emergence of the universal stability constant χ.
