Abstract
Classical electromagnetism provides an exceptionally successful mathematical framework, yet it lacks a physical medium underlying the fields themselves. Maxwells equations describe the dynamics of E and B, but they do not explain what physically varies in space, what carries energy, or how electromagnetic waves propagate in vacuum without a substrate. The displacement current, introduced as
j_disp = (E/t),
is mathematically necessary but physically undefined, forming one of the central conceptual paradoxes of electromagnetism.
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM), developed within the Temporal Theory of the Universe (TTU), proposes that time is a physical medium characterized by a scalar temporal potential
(x, t, )
and a vector temporal flow
j_(x, t, ).
This identification ensures dimensional consistency through the fundamental relations
E = ,B = j_,
where has the dimension of electric potential (volts) and j_ has the dimension of T"m, representing the kinematic circulation of the temporal medium.
The displacement current obtains a physical mechanism via
j_disp = " (/t),
with the vacuum limit = , restoring exact equivalence to Maxwells definition while providing a real carrier: the accelerated deformation of the temporal medium. Electromagnetic waves emerge as -waves, with E and B appearing as geometric projections; energy transport is shown to be proportional to the temporal flow j_, giving a physical origin to the Poynting vector.
The TTU-EM framework resolves long-standing conceptual gaps in Maxwellian and quantum electrodynamicsdisplacement current, field ontology, vacuum propagation, and energy transportwhile remaining fully compatible with the classical limit. It predicts measurable deviations at THz scales, temporal-conductivitydependent phenomena, and -resonances, offering clear experimental pathways to distinguish TTU-EM from Maxwell/QED. The result is a physically intuitive and mathematically coherent reinterpretation of electromagnetism grounded in the dynamics of the temporal medium.

Classical electromagnetism is one of the most successful predictive theories in physics, yet it contains deep conceptual gaps. Maxwells equations provide a complete kinematic description of how electric and magnetic fields vary in space and time but not what they are, why they exist, or which physical medium carries their energy and supports their propagation. These omissions were historically obscured by the removal of the ether and later by the abstraction introduced in quantum electrodynamics (QED). Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) reopens this question by proposing that time itself acts as a physical medium.
Prior to Einstein, electromagnetic waves were understood as mechanical disturbances of a physical medium: the ether. Removing this medium created several unresolved conceptual issues:
Einstein replaced the ether with spacetime geometry but did not provide a physical substitute for the medium required by wave mechanics. Maxwells equations survived but the ether did not, leaving the equations without an ontological foundation.
Maxwells equations tell us how fields change, but not what physically changes:
The equations treat E and B as primary objects without identifying a carrier or physical substrate. They encode relations, not mechanisms. In this sense, classical EM is a purely kinematic theory mathematically complete, physically incomplete.
Maxwell introduced the displacement current to fix a mathematical inconsistency in Ampres law:
j_disp = " (E/t)
This term:
Thus, j_disp is mathematically essential but physically mysterious:
This paradox has remained unresolved for 150 years.
Quantum electrodynamics explains:
but does not explain:
QED replaces the classical fields with operators but keeps their abstract nature. The physical substrate remains undefined.
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) restores the missing physical medium by identifying:
Within this framework:
The TTU paradigm returns a physical substrate to electromagnetism and resolves classical paradoxes by grounding E, B, and wave propagation in the dynamics of the temporal medium.
The central innovation of Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) is the introduction of a physical medium underlying all electromagnetic phenomena. This medium is described by a scalar field (x, t, ), which carries the dimension of electric potential and behaves as a dynamical temporal substrate. All electromagnetic quantities become derived geometric or kinematic properties of and its associated flow j.
This section defines the fundamental constructs and establishes the dimensional consistency of TTU-EM.
In TTU-EM, the field (x, t, ) replaces the abstract electric potential of classical theory with a physical temporal potential. The dimension
[] = Volt (V)
is required by the defining relation:
E =
Dimensional check:
[E] = V/m
[] = 1/m
[] = V
Thus is not a gauge convention but a real physical field whose gradients generate observable electric fields.
The argument encodes compact hyper-temporal dynamics and produces discrete oscillation modes (chronons), later unifying classical EM with QED.
The electric field is the spatial slope of the temporal potential:
E = ( / x)
Physical meaning:
Electric forces arise from spatial variations of .
Voltage differences reflect temporal pressure differences.
Electrostatics becomes -geometry.
This restores a physical meaning lost after the removal of the ether.
TTU-EM introduces a second fundamental dynamical quantity:
j(x, t, ) the temporal flow of the medium.
It describes circulation and transport of the temporal substance, not electrical current.
Magnetic field is defined as the vorticity of j:
B = (j, / x)
Dimensional analysis:
[B] = Tesla (T)
[] = 1/m
[j] = T"m
Thus j is not a current density (A/m«); it is a kinematic quantity analogous to a vortex flux in fluid dynamics.
Meaning of j:
describes motion of the temporal medium,
produces magnetism through vorticity,
carries EM energy (the physical origin of S j).
Classical electromagnetism lacks the physical substrate needed to:
support wave propagation,
carry energy and momentum,
define displacement current physically,
explain the origin of E and B,
unify EM with gravity and quantum structure.
TTU resolves these gaps:
Thus restores the ontological foundation removed with the ether.
enters the 5D TTU action as (x, ), where x = (t, x, y, z).
The kinetic term ()() ensures Lorentz invariance.
Temporal waves propagate with invariant speed:
v = c = 1 / -( )
This emerges dynamically from TTU constants.
TTU naturally reproduces U(1):
QED:A A +
TTU: + (x, t)
EM potential:A = _eff
Gauge symmetry becomes freedom of choosing hyper-temporal phase.
Shifts of do not affect physics:
+ const
Only has physical significance exactly like in classical EM.
3. Electric Field as Temporal Geometry
Electromagnetism becomes physically transparent once the electric field is reinterpreted as a geometric derivative of the temporal potential (x, t, ).
This section establishes the correct dimensional foundation, the physical interpretation, and the conceptual resolution of long-standing ambiguities in classical EM.
3.1. Updated derivation with correct units
In TTU-EM, the electric field is defined by:
E = / x
Dimensional consistency:
[E] = Volt / meter (V/m)
[] = 1/m
[] must be Volt (V)
Thus is not an abstract mathematical potential, but a physical temporal potential whose spatial gradient produces the electric field.
Meaning:
Electric field = spatial slope of
Voltage differences = differences in temporal potential
Electric forces = tendency of to relax spatial gradients
This is the simplest and most physically intuitive interpretation of E.
3.2. Potential = slope of temporal potential
In classical EM:
The electric potential (x) is a gauge-dependent bookkeeping device
Only is physical
itself has no ontological meaning
In TTU:
(x, t, ) is a real physical scalar field
Its spatial slope directly generates E
Potential differences correspond to gradients of the temporal medium
Thus:
Voltage = temporal compression or depletion.
This gives the first physical interpretation of potential since Maxwell.
3.3. Charge = -deficit / -excess
Classically, charge is a primitive undefined property.
In TTU:
Positive charge = localized deficit of
Negative charge = localized excess of
This immediately produces the correct electric field of a point charge.
Example (Word-friendly):
Let
(r) = (k / r)
Then:
E(r) = = (k / r«) " r
This is exactly Coulombs law, but now E originates from temporal curvature, not an abstract postulated entity.
Charge becomes:
a geometric defect in
a localized perturbation of the temporal substrate
the source term in the -field equation
This replaces the metaphysical notion of charge with a physical mechanism.
3.4. Capacitance = storage of -curvature
A capacitor, in TTU terms, stores spatial curvature of .
Between capacitor plates:
has a linear gradient
curvature (second derivative) encodes stored energy
energy U is proportional to the integral of ()«
Thus:
A large capacitance means the material allows larger -curvature for the same applied potential
Dielectrics differ by how they reshape (via and material response)
This provides a mechanical, ontological interpretation of capacitance:
Capacitors store bent time.
3.5. Resolution of conceptual problems with E
TTU resolves all major mysteries of the classical electric field.
Problem 1: What is E in empty space?
Maxwell: a 3-vector with no medium behind it.
TTU: E is the slope of , the temporal medium.
Problem 2: Why do charges create fields instantly in static cases?
Maxwell: field is defined everywhere at once.
TTU: -disturbances propagate at v = c; static fields are equilibrium geometries.
Problem 3: Why voltage differences produce forces?
TTU: seeks to equalize spatial gradients, creating forces on defects.
Problem 4: Why energy is stored in E«?
TTU: ()« represents geometric curvature of the temporal field.
Problem 5: Why is the potential defined only up to a constant?
TTU: only is physical; global shifts + const do not affect geometry.
Classical electromagnetism describes the magnetic field B as something that appears around currents, yet never explains what physically circulates. Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) provides the missing mechanism: magnetic fields arise from the vorticity of the temporal flow j(x, t, ), the fundamental vector field describing motion of the temporal medium.
This section sets the dimensionally correct definition, explains induction and magnetostatics, and derives spin as a quantized -vortex.
In TTU-EM, the magnetic field is defined by:
B = " j
where is the Levi-Civita tensor.
This expression gives:
Therefore:
[j] = T"m
This is crucial:
Interpretation:
Faradays induction is often described as changing magnetic flux produces EMF, but classical theory does not explain the underlying cause.
In TTU-EM, induction has a simple physical origin:
the temporal medium shears
adjusts
changes
E appears
Word-friendly expression:
Changing vorticity of j temporal shear electric field.
This gives induction a mechanical, medium-based explanation:
If j is stationary:
j / t = 0
then B follows from static vorticity:
B = " j
This includes:
Interpretation:
Even permanent magnets are not mysterious quantum sources they are stable -vortex structures locked in material microstructure.
This is one of the most powerful consequences of TTU-EM.
Classically:
In TTU:
Structure:
Thus:
This unifies electric charge, magnetic moment, and intrinsic spin in a single physical mechanism something no classical theory ever accomplished.
Classical EM treats vacuum as nothing, yet demands:
TTU replaces all these contradictions with one principle:
There is only the temporal medium and its flow j.**
Thus:
Everything emerges from -dynamics.
This restores physical intuition and removes the metaphysical structure of classical EM.
Classically, the displacement current is introduced as a mathematical term:
jdisp = E/t
It solves the AmpreMaxwell inconsistency, but raises a deep physical paradox:
How can a current exist where no charges flow?
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) resolves this by giving displacement current a real physical carrier:
the accelerated flow of the temporal medium.
Maxwell added the term
jdisp = E/t
to repair the Ampre law for time-varying fields.
However, classical theory cannot answer:
Thus, the displacement current is mathematically essential, but physically undefined.
Maxwell himself called it a process of the ether,
but the ether was later removed, leaving the term conceptually empty.
jdisp = " (/t)with = in vacuum**
In TTU-EM, the displacement current is not postulated it is derived from the Lagrangian.
A temporal acceleration /t creates spatial shear of , which produces a real physical flux:
jdisp = " (/t)
Dimensional analysis:
Therefore:
[] = A"s / (V"m)
This is the temporal conductivity of the medium.
In empty space, TTU requires:
=
Substitute E = :
jdisp = " (/t)
= " ()/t
= E/t
Thus TTU exactly reproduces Maxwells displacement current
but now with a physical medium ().
This is one of the strongest results of the entire theory.
The classical relation E/t curl B is now physically transparent:
Thus:
Nothing acts at a distance.
All interactions propagate through at speed c.
E B **
TTU-EM reveals a closed, causal loop:
This gives a fully mechanical interpretation of EM radiation:
This solves a 150-year conceptual gap.
The original inconsistency:
B = j
fails for time-varying E
system becomes non-conservative
Maxwell added jdisp by hand to repair this:
B = j + E/t
But TTU naturally restores closure:
Thus:
This is a conceptual breakthrough classical EM could never achieve.
Electromagnetic waves are traditionally described as oscillations of electric and magnetic fields in vacuum.
However, classical physics never explained what oscillates, or how a wave propagates through empty space.
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) resolves this by identifying a physical medium the temporal field whose dynamics generate E and B as secondary, geometric quantities.
In vacuum, Maxwells equations give:
«E/t« = c« «E
«B/t« = c« «B
where
c« = 1 / ( ).
These equations are phenomenally accurate but purely kinematic.
They do not specify:
This is the missing medium problem.
The TTU Lagrangian for the free temporal field yields the fundamental wave equation:
«/t« c« « = 0
This is the primary wave of electromagnetism.
We emphasize:
not E or B.
Dimensional consistency:
Most importantly:
This restores the physical origin of light speed:
Light travels at c because temporal disturbances propagate at c.
Classical physics treats vacuum as empty space with no properties.
Yet light, a wave, travels through it perfectly.
A wave without a medium is logically impossible.
TTU resolves this exactly:
It has:
Thus:
Instead:
E and B are geometric shadows:
E =
B = j_
The medium is real, physical, and measurable (via , -resonances, and THz anomalies).
The compact hyper-temporal coordinate generates discrete vibrational modes:
(x, t, ) = _f _f(x, t) " cos(f )
Each value of f corresponds to a distinct excitational mode of the -field.
The energy of mode f is:
E_f = " _f
= " -[( f« + m_«) / ]
The identification is immediate:
This provides the first physical substrate for the photon:
QED sees this as a U(1) gauge quantum;
TTU sees it as a temporal vibration;
both descriptions match.
S = _S " j_ (dimensionally correct)**
Classically:
S = (E B) /
but this only gives geometry, not the actual carrier.
TTU identifies the carrier:
Thus the observed Poynting vector is:
S = _S " j_
where _S is a material- and vacuum-dependent proportionality constant required for correct dimensionality:
which is physically interpretable as an effective temporal coupling strength.
Thus:
In classical electromagnetism, charge and current are introduced axiomatically:
they exist, they produce fields, and they interact, but their physical origin is left unexplained.
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) removes this gap by identifying all electromagnetic sources as geometric or dynamical states of the temporal field and its flow j_.
In TTU, charge is not a primitive quantity.
It is a localized distortion of the temporal potential :
This yields Coulombs law automatically:
Let
(r) = k/r
then
E = = (k / r«) r
Thus:
No metaphysical charge; only geometry.
Classically:
j_cond(classical) = v
where v is the slow electron drift (mm/s).
But electromagnetic energy moves at ~c a major paradox.
TTU resolves it:
j_cond(TTU) = v + j_(matter)
where:
Since j_ has dimension [T"m], not [A/m«], it does not replace the classical current density.
It is the carrier of EM energy and magnetic vorticity, not charge.
Energy propagates with j_; electrons merely stir the temporal medium.
Classical Faradays law says:
= _B/t
but does not explain why changing B creates an E-field.
TTU gives the mechanism:
Temporal shear = (/t)
When j_-vorticity changes:
Thus:
/t (/t) E_induced
Induction becomes a mechanical deformation of the temporal medium, not a mysterious field action.
Classical EM has a deep conceptual flaw:
TTU eliminates all of this:
Therefore:
This restores Einstein causality from first principles.
material response to -dynamics (dimensionally corrected)**
TTU introduces a new measurable material property:
() temporal conductivity
which links -acceleration to observable EM response:
j_disp = " (/t)
Dimensional analysis:
[] = A"s / (V"m)
Which is consistent with:
Table: values across materials
Material | () | Physical meaning |
|---|---|---|
Metals (Cu, Al) | high | strong coupling of /t into j_disp |
Semiconductors | moderate, nonlinear | depends on band structure; predicts non-Maxwellian attenuation |
Dielectrics | low | weak -response |
Vacuum | = | baseline temporal coupling |
This parameter is central for predicting:
If TTU is correct, then all electromagnetic phenomena
charge, current, magnetism, induction, light
are nothing but motions and distortions of time as a physical substance.
Thus:
Electricity is the flow of time through matter.
Magnetism is the swirling of time.
Light is rippling time.
Electromagnetism is the geometry and kinematics of the temporal medium.
While classical electromagnetism and QED provide exceptionally accurate predictions, they lack a physical medium and therefore cannot predict any deviations arising from the dynamics of a temporal substrate.
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) predicts several measurable effects that arise specifically from the physical nature of the temporal potential and the temporal flow j_.
These effects become especially pronounced in the THz frequency range, where the classical displacement current term E/t begins to interact with the TTU temporal conductivity ().
(with predicted deviation 515%)**
Classically, the impedance of a good conductor at frequency is:
Z_classical() = (1 + i) -( / (2))
TTU modifies this expression by introducing the temporal conductivity (), producing an additional term:
j_disp = () " (/t)
For copper or aluminum in the THz-range (0.31.2 THz), the coupling term produces a measurable deviation:
Predicted deviation (TTU vs Maxwell):
Z / Z_classical - 515% in the 0.31 THz band.
Reason:
This is the cleanest, easiest laboratory test of TTU.
In TTU, a capacitor stores -curvature, not just charge.
Classically:
f_res - 1 / (2 -(LC))
TTU adds a new resonance term due to temporal dynamics:
f_ - (1 / 2) -( () / _eff )
This term does not exist in classical electromagnetism.
Predictions:
Expected resonance shift:
f - 37% for high- dielectrics
f - 1020% in engineered metamaterials
This is a precise, quantitative, falsifiable prediction.
Classical skin depth:
_classical = -(2 / ( ))
TTU prediction:
Semiconductors have intermediate (), making dynamics strongly frequency dependent.
This produces:
_TTU = _classical " (1 + /)
Expected effects:
Quantitative prediction:
For Si and GaAs at 0.81 THz:
_TTU / _classical - 1.051.12
This is measurable with modern THz-TDS setups.
The oscillating dipole embedded inside a conductor (Hertz-in-conductor) is an unsolved classical problem.
Maxwells equations become underdetermined:
TTU resolves the problem by adding the -equation:
«/t« c« « + (/t) = S_dipole
This additional PDE:
Measurable signature:
This experiment is decisive because it probes a known failure of classical EM.
Since is a physical potential with [] = V, its gradients can be measured indirectly through:
Two parallel waveguides fed with phase-locked THz signals.
TTU predicts:
Expected shift:
- 1010 rad
TTU predicts:
Expected deviation:
f/f - 1010
Metamaterial with engineered ().
Predictions:
TTU-EM makes clear, quantitative, experimentally testable predictions that differ from Maxwell/QED:
Phenomenon | TTU Prediction | Why Maxwell/QED Cannot Explain |
|---|---|---|
THz impedance | 515% deviation | no temporal conductivity () |
-resonances | new resonant peaks | no -field |
Non-Maxwell attenuation | 512% anomaly | classical - law fixed |
Hertz-in-conductor | solvable PDE stronger fields | system underdetermined |
Direct -detection | interferometric and resonant signatures | no physical -medium |
The THz region (0.31.5 THz) is the experimental sweet spot where TTU and classical EM diverge most strongly.
Classical electromagnetism is one of the most successful theories in science.
It predicts everything from antennas to atomic spectra with extraordinary quantitative accuracy.
Yet for 150 years it has carried a profound conceptual void: the absence of a physical medium, a substrate that explains what fields are, why they exist, and how they propagate in vacuum.
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) fills this void by identifying the temporal potential (x, t, ) as a real physical field whose gradients, flows, and oscillations give rise to all electromagnetic phenomena. This restores the physical intuition that was lost after the abandonment of the ether and elevates electromagnetism from a purely kinematic theory to a physically grounded one.
Maxwells equations describe but do not explain fundamental questions:
Mathematically: a vector.
Physically: the slope of what?
TTU: the slope of the temporal potential,
E = .
Maxwell: circulation around a current.
But circulation of what?
TTU: the vorticity of temporal flow,
B = j_.
Classically:
j_disp = E/t,
but with no physical carriers.
TTU:
j_disp = (/t),
a real temporal-flow acceleration.
Classically: oscillations of E and B in nothing.
TTU: the vacuum is a -medium,
and light is a -wave whose geometric shadows are E and B.
Classically: mathematical cross product.
TTU: energy is carried by j_, and
S j_
is its observable projection.
Maxwell gave the equations; TTU gives the mechanism.
The -field provides everything classical EM was missing:
Quantity | Classical EM | TTU-EM Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
E-field | Postulated vector | Gradient of |
B-field | Curl of j (no substrate) | Vorticity of j_ |
Displacement current | Mathematical correction | Temporal-flow acceleration |
Vacuum | "Empty space" | Physical -medium |
EM waves | Field oscillations | -waves |
This restores physical intuition without altering the quantitative success of Maxwells equations.
The classical limit is recovered exactly when satisfies the TTU wave equation with:
c« = 1/( )
so TTU is not an alternative to Maxwell it is its physical completion.
The most profound aspect of TTU is its unifying power.
E and B are derivatives of and j_.
Displacement current becomes physically meaningful.
The metric responds to -gradients:
g_{} - _{} + _ _ ,
so gravity and electromagnetism arise from different aspects of the same temporal substrate.
Chronon modes f of (x, t, ) give:
QED is recovered when:
A_ = _ _eff
and the U(1) gauge symmetry becomes hyper-temporal phase freedom.
Thus:
EM = -geometry
Gravity = -curvature
Quantum = -modes
All three emerge from the same field.
This is the first coherent framework where the three pillars of modern physics share a single physical origin.
If is a physical field, then manipulating opens an entirely new technological domain:
Devices that store -curvature, enabling ultra-high-Q energy storage.
Radiating via -gradients rather than charge oscillation potentially orders of magnitude more efficient.
Since vacuum is a -medium, its properties can be modified:
Because couples to EM fields, gravity-like effects (-curvature), and quantum phases,
TTU predicts devices that combine:
Such devices would be based on manipulating j_ and /t rather than charges and currents.
These ideas are not speculative science fiction
they emerge directly from the TTU equations.
Despite its internal consistency and strong explanatory power, TTU-EM opens new research directions.
Temporal conductivity is measurable but requires:
Although -waves propagate at
c = 1/-( ),
deriving and from , , of TTU remains key.
TTU provides the missing variable, but full analytical solutions must be developed.
Mapping:
is crucial for embedding TTU into the Standard Model.
Interferometric proposals (Section 8.5) must be turned into concrete experimental protocols.
TTU-EM restores the physical picture behind electromagnetism.
It keeps the predictive power of Maxwell, resolves every conceptual paradox, and unifies EM, gravity, and quantum physics under one physical substrate the temporal field .
This is the physical interpretation electromagnetism has been missing since 1865.

This appendix presents the side-by-side comparison of classical Maxwell electrodynamics and Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM), with corrected definitions of:

Appendix B. Minimal TTU Lagrangian for Electromagnetism
Temporal Electromagnetism (TTU-EM) derives electric and magnetic fields, displacement current, and electromagnetic waves from a single physical medium: the temporal field (x, t, ) and its associated temporal flow j(x, t, ).
This appendix presents the minimal action, shows how E, B, and j_disp arise, and establishes the exact vacuum correspondence with Maxwell and QED.
B.1. Minimal Lagrangian with kinetic normalization
The TTU-EM Lagrangian is:
L-EM = (/2)(_)(^) + (/2)(_)« V() + (_t)("j)
Meaning of terms:
stiffness of temporal medium (normalizes wave propagation)
hyper-temporal inertia (controls f-modes / chronons)
V() nonlinear potential (stability, defects, charge structure)
temporal conductivity (couples -acceleration to temporal flow)
This is the minimal action reproducing all EM phenomena.
B.2. Electric and magnetic fields from the action
Electric field
From variation with respect to spatial derivatives of :
E =
Dimensionally correct:
[] = Volt[] = V/m
Magnetic field
From variation with respect to spatial derivatives of j:
B = " j,
Dimensionally correct:
[j] = Tesla"meter j has units Tesla
Magnetic field = vorticity of temporal flow.
B.3. Displacement current derived from the Lagrangian
Differentiation of L with respect to gives:
j_disp = " (/t)
This is the dimensionally correct TTU displacement current.
Vacuum identity: =
In free space, TTU must reduce to Maxwell:
j_disp = E/t
Using E = :
E/t
= ()/t
= (/t)
Thus, comparison gives the fundamental identity:
=
Exact Maxwell limit
Physical meaning for displacement current
j_disp is real flow of temporal medium
B.4. Gauge field from hyper-time: A_ = _ _eff
The compact hyper-temporal coordinate induces a geometric gauge potential:
A_ = _ _eff
Gauge symmetry arises from:
+ (x, t)
Thus:
U(1) invariance comes from freedom to redefine hyper-time phase
Electromagnetic potential is not fundamental, but a projection of
QED gauge transformations correspond to rephasings of hyper-time
This provides the first physical interpretation of U(1) gauge freedom.
B.5. Photon as a hyper-temporal mode (chronon)
Expand along the compact dimension :
(x, t, ) = f=0 _f(x, t) " cos(f)
Each mode has frequency:
_f = -( ( f« + m_«) / )
Energy:
E_f = _f
Meaning:
Photon = f = 1 mode
Higher f = new excitations (chronons)
TTU spectrum matches QED photon quantization
TTU adds the medium underlying QED operator algebra
B.6. Dimensional analysis

In vacuum:

v_ = 1/-( ) = c
TTU reproduces , and c exactly.
B.7. Summary of Appendix B
From one action, TTU delivers:
E =
B = j
j_disp = (/t), =
Photon = f = 1 hyper-temporal mode
A_ = _ _eff
v_ = c, , recovered automatically
TTU-EM therefore provides the first physical medium underlying electromagnetism, unifying:
Maxwell fields
Displacement current
U(1) gauge theory
Photon quantization
Vacuum propagation
Energy transport
into one coherent dynamical framework.
