Why RTG?
RTG offers a constructive proof that space, time, and gravity are not background stages, but emergent screening fields generated by the interactions of fundamental defects.
What Is Relational Time Geometry (RTG)?
RTG is a Machian approach to physics. It starts from a radical premise: Space does not exist without Matter. The universe begins as a network of pre-geometric oscillators (nodes) defined by frequency \(\omega\), phase \(\phi\), and spin \(s\). “Vacuum” is not an empty void, but a dynamic Quantum Foam that condenses around topological defects (particles) to screen their curvature, governed by the resonance kernel:
\[
\mathcal{R}_{ij} = \frac{3}{4} [1 + \cos(\phi_i – \phi_j)] (1 + s_i s_j) e^{-(\omega_i – \omega_j)^2 / (\Delta\omega^*)^2}
\]
By simulating this system, we have successfully grown macroscopic, flat spacetime structures from minimal seeds, proving that geometry is the statistical average of a microscopic frequency struggle.
Key Points at a Glance
- The Machian Vacuum. Computer simulations (ESM) confirm that geometry fails to nucleate in a void. A “dipole seed” (matter) is required to organize the vacuum. Space is the relaxation field of matter.
- Quantum Foam Topology. The emergent vacuum is “flat” only on the boundary (\(Q \approx 0\)). Inside, it is a turbulent froth of curvature. A Hodge decomposition proves that 75.2% of this curvature is topologically irreducible, providing a physical basis for vacuum energy.
- Emergent Gravity. Gravity appears as the residual “leakage” of the screening process. When the vacuum fails to perfectly screen two distant defects, the residual tension manifests as an attractive force.
- Forces from Alignment. Phase coherence and spin alignment allow the network to “breathe,” temporarily violating charge neutrality to bridge geometric gaps—a mechanism we call Flux-Balanced Growth.
How RTG Helps Resolve Open Issues
- The Vacuum Energy Catastrophe. Standard physics predicts a vacuum energy \(10^{120}\) times too high. RTG explains this: the “Geometric Floor” (75% irreducible roughness) is the true vacuum energy, topologically locked away from macroscopic observation.
- Proton Radius Puzzle. A 2D quark sheet buckles into a 3D shell at a precise frequency threshold (\(0.28\Delta\omega^*\)), predicting a radius of 0.84 fm (matching the muonic hydrogen value) rather than the CODATA average.
- Singularities. Black holes are not points of infinite density but “corridors” where dimensionality transitions from 3D to 4D (at \(\delta\omega > 0.70\Delta\omega^*\)), naturally regulating the singularity.

A Living Project
This website serves as a living archive. In January 2026, we achieved a major milestone: the algorithmic growth of a stable, near-neutral vacuum from a 4-node seed, neutralizing 97.7% of the initial charge.
