Temporal Interpretation – A Unified Theory of Quantum Decoherence, Emergent Gravity, and Galactic Dynamics

AbstractThis work develops a single temporal framework across scales, from quantum compatibility to galactic dynamics. Within the Temporal Interpretation (TI) of quantum mechanics, proper time is taken as physically primary and branch coexistence is replaced by temporal compatibility. A minimal unitary model with dense internal spectra is used to define an operational compatibility threshold, Δτcompat, marking the onset of effectively inaccessible coherent recombination. The analysis is then extended to the classical domain, where classical reality is reformulated as a regime of successful temporal synchronisation, horizons as losses of recoverable compatibility, and geometry as an emergent structure arising from temporal relations and holonomy. At the collective level, the relevant transition is no longer controlled only by pairwise compatibility, but by a crossing scale, Δτcross, together with bounded global frustration and multi-regime exponent compression from local to mesoscopic and macroscopic projection. This prepares a forward macroscopic description in which collective temporal desynchronisation generates an effective geometric contribution to orbital motion without introducing dark matter as an additional material component. Applying this framework to baryonic data from the SPARC sample under a strictly forward methodology, with no inverse reconstruction and no per-galaxy tuning, we identify an effective galactic temporal scale Δτgal ≈ (5 ± 1) × 10¹3 s, which organises the dynamics of 171 valid galaxies in the working sample. The result suggests that temporal compatibility is not only a conceptual reinterpretation of quantum measurement, but a physically operative principle whose macroscopic projection may structure the weak-acceleration regime of galaxies. This record contains the manuscript and a supplementary ZIP archive (TI scripts. zip) with the Python scripts used in the numerical and computational workflow discussed in the article, including local compatibility tests, multi-branch frustration analysis, mesoscopic aggregation, macroscopic projection, and the forward galactic sweep.
