Time Density and the Genesis of Interpretation: An Ontological Essay

Abstract This article develops the ontology of Time Density by examining the transition of Pure Potential (−1) through the primary point 0. Time is interpreted not as linear duration but as the degree of density within potential, determining the coherence or rarefaction of emerging structure. The Big Bang is understood as an ontological act of self‑differentiation rather than a physical beginning. Consciousness appears as a new point 0 on the next fractal level, where attention becomes the operator of the first interpretation — the minimal act of distinction that initiates the unfolding of structure. The double‑slit experiment is presented as an illustration of the transition from coherent potential to interpreted reality. The universe as experienced reality arises not at the physical origin of matter, but at the moment when consciousness performs its first interpretive act.
