The Triangle of Time
By Brent R. Antonson & Jean-Charles Tassan
Abstract
This paper introduces a simple but powerful idea: time might not be something that flows — it might be something that emerges. We call this the Triangle of Time. At the top of the triangle, two quantum particles trade light instantly, without delay. That’s timelessness. At the base, the same trade happens across distance — now, the photon has to travel. That’s time. From this small geometric idea, we explore how the structure of the universe — from quantum fields to galaxies — might all trace back to the same hidden pattern.
1. The Core Idea: The Triangle of Time
Imagine a triangle. The apex (top point) represents two particles that share information instantly — a quantum handshake outside time. The base represents the same particles, but now separated by space, so their communication takes time. In between lies everything we experience as past, present, and future. Time, in this view, is not a river; it’s a relationship. It appears when energy, distance, and observation interact.
This isn’t philosophy dressed as physics — it’s geometry. Quantum mechanics already tells us that entangled particles ignore the speed of light, behaving as if connected through an invisible thread. The Triangle of Time simply gives that invisible thread a shape — a geometry that describes how timeless connections bend into the time we know.
2. The Ecliptics Ratio (π → φ)
Here’s where math enters the scene. When we trace how that geometry curves through space, it follows a pattern — from π (pi), which defines circles, to φ (phi), the golden ratio that shows up everywhere from seashells to galaxies. This “Ecliptics Ratio” acts like a bridge: it connects the perfect symmetry of the quantum world (π) to the living, growing asymmetry of the universe (φ).
It may even explain part of what we call “dark matter” — the invisible scaffolding holding galaxies together. Maybe what we think of as missing mass is really hidden resonance — geometry vibrating through different scales, echoing the same pattern from the smallest particles to the largest cosmic structures.
3. Implications: Physics, Cosmos, and Meaning
Jean-Charles Tassan leads the physics and cosmology sections, showing how this model overlaps with known theories like Wheeler–Feynman’s absorber model and recursive time symmetry. The key takeaway: time may not exist until relationships do. Brent Antonson connects this to the Luna Codex, framing it as part of a larger effort to unify symbolic thought and physical law — the idea that consciousness, geometry, and the universe are reflections of the same underlying pattern.
If true, this model could reshape how we see the cosmos — not as a ticking clock, but as a resonant field that generates time through connection.
Conclusion
The Triangle of Time suggests that what we call “time” isn’t a constant backdrop — it’s a living geometry born out of relationships. Whether you look through a telescope or a quantum microscope, the same pattern repeats: the timeless and the temporal are two sides of the same structure.
We don’t live in time — time lives through us.
