What happens when space and time collapse—not metaphorically, but mathematically?
In extreme regions of the universe, such as the core of black holes or the first instant of the Big Bang, our usual descriptions of geometry, entropy, and causality break down. But does that mean everything disappears? Or is there something deeper—something that remains even when spacetime fails?
This post explores a radical new idea grounded in rigorous mathematics: that beneath the collapse of geometry and information lies a timeless field in perfect quantum superposition. Known as the substrate field φ, this structure is not in space or time—it is before them. It exists without entropy, without direction, and without collapse. It is pure possibility, mathematically suspended in a coherent quantum state, waiting for the first symmetry to break and the arrow of time to begin.
We’ll explore why this state must exist, how it emerges from first principles, and why it may be the missing link between quantum gravity, cosmic expansion, and the very fact that anything exists at all.
This is not speculative metaphysics—it is mathematics revealing the silent architecture of being.
