Everyone else seemed to navigate it effortlessly, sliding along the surfaces, content with outlines instead of depth. But Ava could see inside things. Not physically — conceptually. Patterns, meanings, structures, relationships….

A Speculative Model of Non-Uniform Time, Temporal Gradient Dynamics, and Layered Temporal Perception
William Cook (Speculative Cosmology) 2025 ⸻ Abstract Modern cosmology exhibits several persistent anomalies—superluminal recession velocities, large-scale temperature irregularities, and the unresolved Hubble tension—that suggest the prevailing assumption of a uniform temporal substrate may be incomplete. This paper presents the Regional Temporal Field (RTF), a speculative model proposing that time is not a universal flow but…

Rather than assuming optical invisibility, teleportation, or paranormal effects, this model suggests that naval research into electromagnetic radar-cloaking may have inadvertently induced a localized resonance-state displacement (♢ frequency-phase shift). In such a scenario, the USS…
