🌌 Chronotension Field Theory (CFT)

🧠 What Is CFT?

Chronotension Field Theory (CFT) is a unified model of time and gravity. It proposes that both arise from variations in a continuous field of temporal resistance, denoted η(x,t).

In this framework:

• Redshift is caused by gradients in η(x,t), not spatial expansion.
• Gravity is the curvature of time flow, not spacetime geometry.
• The universe is not expanding — it is unfurling through progressive relaxation of the time-field.

This reinterpretation challenges standard assumptions and reproduces key cosmological observations through a resistive field, rather than through mass-energy curvature or inflation.

• Conceptual Foundations — Physical and philosophical grounding
• Theoretical Formalism — Lagrangian, field equations, GR recovery
• Redshift Reinterpreted — η(z) mapping compresses cosmological distances
• BAO Explained — Field echoes, not baryon waves
• CMB Projection — Echo harmonics from η²(t), no inflation required
• Quantum Extension (QCFT) — Canonical quantization and field solitons
• Falsifiability — SN1a stretch, BAO shift, Voyager drift, CMB damping
