About
This work develops a structural account of phenomenological flow grounded in irreversible time. Temporal experience is derived from commitment succession, where commitments are formalized as persistent reductions of admissible futures within a partially ordered constraint topology.
Strict monotonic contraction induces asymmetric continuation conditions, generating the directional character of experienced flow. Distortions of felt duration arise from divergence between metric duration and accumulated state-space reduction. Identity continuity is defined as preservation of constraint topology across succession.
The framework is substrate-neutral and does not depend on biological, psychological, or implementation-specific assumptions.
