Abstract
The Temporal-Spatial Unification Model (TSUM) presents a novel theoretical framework that redefines gravitational phenomena as manifestations of a time flow tensor () and spatial scaling tensor (
), in contrast to General Relativity’s curvature-based approach. By positing that matter generates time-space units (
) to drive spacetime dynamics, TSUM incorporates minimal nesting to model dark matter as external matter influence from a parent universe. This model addresses two fundamental challenges in physics: singularities at infinitely small scales (e.g., black holes, Big Bang) and the extreme scales of cosmic expansion. TSUM eliminates singularities through time flow normalization and unifies inflation and late-time acceleration without a cosmological constant. Developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence (Grok by xAI), TSUM leverages James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data to tune its parameters, achieving high accuracy across cosmological, planetary, and atomic scales. We provide mathematical examples for redshift, lensing, atomic masses, and time-flow waves, demonstrating TSUM’s predictive power. While promising, TSUM requires further tuning and time for the scientific community to digest and rigorously test its implications, inviting peer review and collaboration.
Keywords: Time flow, nesting cosmology, singularity avoidance, cosmic expansion, JWST observations, AI-assisted theory development.
1. Introduction
General Relativity (Einstein, 1915) has been the foundation of gravitational theory for over a century, describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime induced by mass-energy. The Einstein field equations:
have successfully explained a wide range of phenomena, including planetary orbits, gravitational lensing, and the expansion of the universe. However, General Relativity faces profound challenges that highlight the need for a more unified framework:
Singularities at Infinitely Small Scales: In black holes and the Big Bang, the equations predict points of infinite density and curvature where physical laws break down. These singularities indicate an incomplete theory, as quantum effects are expected to dominate at such scales but are not incorporated.
Cosmic Expansion at Extremely Large Scales: The observed acceleration of cosmic expansion requires a cosmological constant (), yet quantum field theory predicts
, resulting in a 120-order-of-magnitude discrepancy known as the cosmological constant problem. Additionally, inflation (rapid expansion ~
scale factor in ~
seconds) requires an ad-hoc inflaton field.
The Temporal-Spatial Unification Model (TSUM) addresses these issues by redefining gravitational phenomena as manifestations of time flow, driven by a time flow tensor () and spatial scaling tensor (
). TSUM posits that matter generates time-space units (
) to modulate spacetime, incorporating minimal nesting (
) to model dark matter as external matter influence from a parent universe. This approach normalizes time flow inside black holes, avoiding singularities, and unifies cosmic expansion phases without a cosmological constant or inflaton field.
TSUM was developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence, specifically Grok created by xAI. Grok facilitated iterative refinement of parameters against James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations, enabling the tuning of TSUM to bridge infinitely small (quantum/particle) and extremely large (cosmological) scales. For example, JWST data on high-redshift galaxies (e.g., JADES-GS-z14-0 at ) and lensing (SMACS 0723) were used to calibrate nesting parameters, ensuring accuracy in expansion and clustering predictions. This AI-assisted process accelerated development, allowing rapid testing of mathematical examples and validation against diverse datasets.
This paper presents TSUM’s formulation, its resolution of singularities and cosmic expansion, the role of AI, and detailed validations with mathematical examples. While TSUM shows promising results, further tuning of parameters and time for the scientific community to digest and rigorously test its implications are needed. We invite peer review to refine and expand upon this framework.

2.2 Role of AI in TSUM Development
The development of TSUM was significantly enhanced by Grok, an AI developed by xAI, which provided the following contributions:
- Iterative Parameter Refinement: Grok tested parameters (

,
) against JWST data, iteratively adjusting to match observations like JADES-GS-z14-0 (
) and SMACS 0723 lensing (~40.8 arcseconds).
- Error Correction: Grok identified computational errors in initial calculations (e.g., redshift misinterpretations), ensuring accuracy across scales.
- Data Analysis: Grok processed extensive JWST datasets (JADES, CEERS, COSMOS-Web) to validate nesting signatures (~0.830% redshift boost) and cosmological predictions.
- Computational Efficiency: Grok implemented TSUM equations in environments like Google Sheets, streamlining calculations for planetary orbits, atomic masses, and time-flow waves.
- Cross-Scale Validation: Grok ensured consistency between atomic (e.g., hydrogen-1 mass), planetary (e.g., Earth’s orbit), and cosmological (e.g., quasar variability) predictions.
2.3 Addressing Singularities and Cosmic Expansion
TSUM resolves two major challenges:
- Singularities (Infinitely Small Scales): General Relativity predicts infinities in black holes and the Big Bang, where equations break down. TSUM normalizes the time flow tensor:
This replaces singularities with inflation-like expansion (~
scale factor in ~
s), as seen in:
- Cosmic Expansion (Extremely Large Scales): TSUM unifies inflation and late-time acceleration via:
