Dynamic Present Theory (DPΦ) challenges the block universe model by proposing a new foundation for physics: Reality is not a static state but an unceasing manifestation of potential into actuality. This process-based ontology, termed Continuous Present Actualization (CPA), introduces a single, unified mechanism to resolve the core conflicts between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
DPΦ demonstrates how the fundamental features of our universe including inertia, gravitation, the arrow of time, and quantum measurement, emerge as direct consequences of this single process. The theory's central dynamic, the CPA Rate, replaces black hole singularities with a lawful, physical cutoff (CPA Freeze), and provides a mechanistic explanation for quantum paradoxes without invoking wavefunction collapse or parallel worlds.
DPΦ is a complete and falsifiable framework. It offers high-risk, testable predictions that diverge from standard models, from anomalous quantum tunneling delays to unique observational signatures near black hole horizons. This paper presents the full axiomatic and mathematical foundations of the theory.
Dynamic Present Theory (DPΦ) redefines our understanding of time and reality by centering on the concept of the dynamic present— a continuously unfolding moment that integrates past influences and future potential into a single, coherent framework. Unlike traditional physics models that treat time as a fixed and linear dimension, DPΦ proposes that the present moment is an active, evolving state shaped by the interaction of immediate events with underlying physical processes. This perspective offers fresh insights into the nature of causality, measurement, and the evolution of complex systems, providing a robust foundation for advancing both theoretical and applied physics.
