Thermodynamics & Rotational Dynamics in Relational Time Geometry (RTG)

Abstract. All macroscopic concepts in this note—distance, energy, temperature, entropy, mass, heat (as energy transfer proportional to \( \langle \omega_1 \rangle – \langle \omega_2 \rangle \), via \( Q \propto \int \mathcal{R}_{ij} \, d\tau \)), and rotational force—are expressed strictly through node frequency \( \omega \), phase \( \phi \), and spin \( s \). A single critical bandwidth \( \Delta\omega^{\ast} = (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\,\text{s}^{-1} \) (updated by a two-loop RG calculation with a wave-function-inspired kernel) sets every dimensionful scale that appears below.

Introduction

Classical thermodynamics presumes absolute energy, heat, and mass defined on a background space-time; rotational dynamics adds inertial frames and fixed radii. Relational Time Geometry removes those primitives: nothing exists in space—space itself emerges from node interactions. This document shows how familiar formulas \( W=F \cdot d \), \( T=\frac{E}{k_{\mathrm B}} \) per degree of freedom, and \( F=m\omega^2r \) reappear when expressed through relational variables. In RTG, space emerges as a relational network of energy, initiated from a zero-sum resonance of positive and negative frequencies updated by \( \Delta\omega^{\ast} = (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\,\text{s}^{-1} \), reflecting the principle ‘Everything is energy.’

I. Energy and Work in RTG

1. Internal Energy

For \(N\) nodes: \[ E=\hbar\sum_{i=1}^{N}\omega_i + \sum_{i< j} V_{ij},\quad V_{ij}= -\frac{\hbar c \Delta \omega^*}{r_{ij}^2}+\frac{\hbar c^2}{r_{ij}^3}+\frac{\hbar}{c} r_{ij},\quad r_{ij}=\frac{2\pi c}{|\omega_i-\omega_j|} \]. The first term is the relational analogue of rest-mass energy; the second term is the interaction potential energy, with coefficients \( A = \hbar c \Delta \omega^* \), \( B = \hbar c^2 \), and \( \kappa = \hbar / c \) derived from two-loop RG to ensure \( E^{\text{raw}}_{\text{initial}} = \sum \hbar \omega_i^+ – \sum \hbar \omega_j^- = 0 \) via \( \omega_j^- = -\omega_i^+ \) balance.

2. Work

A change in beat-distance plays the role of displacement; resonance strength \( \mathcal{R}_{ij} \) acts like a force: \[ \mathcal{R}_{ij}= \frac{1}{r_{ij}}(1+\cos\Delta\phi_{ij})(1+0.5\,\text{Re}[s_i\overline{s}_j]),\quad W=\int \mathcal{R}_{ij}\,\dot{r}_{ij}\,d\tau \]. Setting \( W=\Delta E \) for a quasistatic cycle recovers the classical identity \( dE=F\,dr \), influencing heat flow via \( \dot{r}_{ij} \)-dependent resonance.

3. Relational Temperature

Temperature is defined as \[ T_{\mathrm{RTG}}= \frac{\hbar}{k_{\mathrm B}}(\langle\omega\rangle-\omega_{\mathrm{obs}}) \]. This aligns with classical temperature when \( \delta\omega \ll (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\,\text{s}^{-1} \), recovering the Kelvin scale with a 50% adjusted threshold. Here, \( \omega_{\text{obs}} \) is the Planck-calibrated observer frequency, setting the temperature gradient driving heat.

4. Entropy from Phase–Spin States

Microstates are \( \{\omega_i,\phi_i,s_i\} \). If \( p_\ell \) is the Boltzmann weight: \[ S=-k_{\mathrm B}\sum_\ell p_\ell\ln p_\ell,\quad p_\ell=\frac{e^{-\beta(\hbar\omega_\ell-\mu_\ell)}}{\sum_j e^{-\beta(\hbar\omega_j-\mu_j)}} \]. This matches classical statistical mechanics, with node labels acting as phase-space cells, and entropy rise reflects heat transfer effects.

5. Heat

Heat \( Q \) is the energy transferred via resonance due to frequency differences between systems, defined as \[ \Delta E = Q – W,\quad Q = \frac{\hbar}{(1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}} \int (\langle \omega_1 \rangle – \langle \omega_2 \rangle) \mathcal{R}_{ij} \, d\tau \] for systems 1 and 2. This aligns with classical heat transfer when \( \delta\omega \ll (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\,\text{s}^{-1} \), matching Fourier’s law via \[ \kappa_{\text{th}} = \frac{\hbar c^2}{(1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}} \cdot k_{\text{th}} \], where \( k_{\text{th}} = 1 \) from RG normalization, derived from \( \mathcal{R}_{ij} \) diffusion limit.

II. Rotational Dynamics

1. Emergent Mass

Effective mass is \[ m_i=\frac{\hbar \omega_i – \sum_j E_{ij}^{\text{res}}}{c^2} \]. Inertia reflects frequency bookkeeping, adjusted for resonance reduction, with \( m_i(t) \) evolving as \[ m_i(t) = \frac{\hbar \omega_i(t) – \int \sum_j \gamma \mathcal{R}_{ij}(t) \, dt}{c^2} \] to reflect dynamics, where \( E_{ij}^{\text{res}} = \gamma \mathcal{R}_{ij} \) with \( \gamma \) from RG.

2. Centripetal / Centrifugal Forces

In a circular resonance loop: \[ F_{\text{centrip}}=(\hbar\omega_i/c^2)\,\omega_{\text{rot}}^2r,\quad F_{\text{centrif}}=-F_{\text{centrip}} \]. Derived by differentiating the potential while locking node phases, forces reflect curvature via \( r_{ij} \) adjustments.

3. Illustrative Systems

  • Earth–Sun: \( \delta\omega/(1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\approx4\times10^{-9} \); Newtonian gravity recovered.
  • Heat Engine: A 4-node loop mimics Carnot cycle; heat flows from \( \omega_{\text{hot}} \) to \( \omega_{\text{cold}} \) via \( \mathcal{R}_{ij} \), with efficiency \( 1 – \frac{\omega_{\text{cold}}}{\omega_{\text{hot}}} \).
  • Black Hole: For \( \delta\omega / (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}>1 \), the red-shift surface arises when \[ \frac{dR}{dt} > 0.8 \cdot 10^{-40} \], stabilizing at \( r_s \propto 1 / (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23} \), differing from a singular horizon.

III. Practical Notes

  • Fourier Law: For \( \delta\omega\ll0.5\cdot(1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23} \), the network reduces to heat diffusion: \[ \kappa_{\text{th}}= \frac{\hbar c^2}{(1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}} \cdot k_{\text{th}} \], where \( k_{\text{th}} = 1 \) from RG normalization, derived from \( \mathcal{R}_{ij} \) diffusion limit.
  • Decoherence Crossover: When mode spacing crosses \( 0.5 \cdot (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23} \approx 7.25 \times 10^{22} \, \text{s}^{-1} \), a drop in cavity Q factor by ~50% is predicted, marking a dimensional shift from 1D to 2D resonance modes.

IV. Two-Loop RG Scale

Renormalisation-group flow fixes \( g^{\ast}=1.14 \pm 0.02 \), setting \( \Delta\omega^{\ast}=(1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\,\text{s}^{-1} \) (updated with a wave-function-inspired kernel). This scales: (i) dimension thresholds (e.g., \( 0.5 \Delta\omega^* \approx 7.25 \times 10^{22} \, \text{s}^{-1} \)), (ii) temperature via \( \hbar / k_{\text{B}} \), (iii) rotational force via \( \hbar / c^2 \), and heat conductivity via \( \hbar c^2 / (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23} \). Increases \( T_{\text{RTG}} \) and \( \kappa_{\text{th}} \) by ~50%, remaining within toy-model uncertainties. For details, see the full two-loop PDF.

Conclusion

RTG derives thermodynamic and rotational laws from relational variables without presuming space-time. Internal energy arises from frequencies, work from beat-distance changes, temperature from frequency disparity, entropy from microstate probabilities, and heat from energy flow due to frequency differences. All effects converge to classical thermodynamics when \( \delta\omega \ll (1.45 \pm 0.08)\times10^{23}\,\text{s}^{-1} \). Observable phase shifts, redshifts, and entropy increase emerge naturally, rooted in zero-energy genesis via \( \omega_i^+ \) and \( \omega_j^- \). RTG is falsifiable, with tests including cavity-QED decoherence at \( 7.25 \times 10^{22} \, \text{s}^{-1} \) and gravitational red-shift for \( \delta \omega > 1.45 \times 10^{23} \, \text{s}^{-1} \).
