Length & Time
Introducing the Phurlon & Phlash
A redefining of Space & Time
In Phen Theory, we replace fixed external constants like Planck time & Planck length with internal, projection-based units that arise naturally from the structure of the universe itself. These units are defined not by background fields, but by the rhythm & geometry of projection.
Note on Space:
In Phen Theory, space is not a substance or structure. It is an eternal, passive void, a null container with no properties know as the Phorum ( Φ⎕ ) in PT. All observable structure emerges from projection via Phenomena (ΦΝ∞), not from the expansion of “space” itself. This is a key departure from traditional physics & underpins the behaviour of Phurlons & Phlashes described below
Core Principle:
Phenomena (Universe) is stretchable. Time is projection. Light defines both.
Visualisation
If space is made of light-Phibres, then stretching a Phibre stretches the light with it. Like a rubber train on a rubber track, stretch both equally, and the time it takes to travel the track stays the same. The Phurlon is always the shortest connection between two points, even if that connection stretches. No amount of distortion changes the speed of light; it remains constant, grounded in the unchanging traversal time.
Phurlon (⟷)
The Phurlon is the scalar unit of length in PT. It is similar in role but not a rigid ruler like a Planck length. Instead, it is the elastic light-band that connects two Phenom (vector points) within the Phenomenon. This connection is formed by a Phibre, a 2P line that can stretch under tension or compress from lack of tension.
The Phurlon represents the smallest quantum of length, in the Phenomena, but it is not fixed. It can lengthen or contract depending on tension, making it more like a structural spring than a rigid stick. This is the foundational measurement in Phen Theory
All Phurlons are straight between any 2 points & can only bend or wobble etc at those points/junctions never between
Phibres (●─●)
When we talk about Phibres, it includes the Red, Green & Blue Phield Phibres as well as the Philter Phibres they are all just flavours of the same Phlux in different orientations & structures.
A Photon (⚟) in Phen Theory is not a particle moving through space, but the act of Phlux being revealed by the Phen. It is the projection itself. Every time Phlux in the form of a Photon is projected, it immediately expands from a point (Phen's location at E) into a Phield Phibre (←→), forming a stretchable scalar link - a Phurlon (⟷). It is not bringing a distance into existence, but the structural tension path that can be measured.
Phlash (⚟ᶠ)
A Phlash is the most fundamental act of emergence, the instant a Phield Phibre is emitted, revealing one stretchable unit of space (a Phurlon). It is the shortest possible unit of time in Phen Theory. Each Phlash defines one projection frame as a single discrete unit in the unfolding rhythm of the Phenomena. This replaces the need for Planck time.
⚟ᶠ = ⟷
(one Phlash equals one Phurlon or Phibre emission)
Q: But if each Phlash whole Phenomenon are emitted then doesn't that mean more than 1 Phibre per Phlash
A: Yes & no. Yes there are more than 1 Phibre being emitted eg. The Phrontier (edge of the Phenomena) has a crazy amount being added each Phlash. However from any observation point in the Phenomena only 1 extra Phibre / Phurlon will be presented (during expansion) each Phlash relative to the observer along a single path / line of sight.
Phlash Cycle (⚟ᶜ or c)
The Phlash Cycle defines the tempo of the universe & the rhythm at which Phlashes occur. It is akin to the speed of light in SP, but is not a velocity. It is the constant structural rate of projection itself.
⚟ᶜ = ⚟ᶠ
Phlash Cycle is equal to one Phlash
(which is equal to one Phurlon or Phibre emission)
Time is internally defined by the cadence of Phlashes. In the native frame of PT, the Phlash Cycle is fixed at 1. This constancy preserves c without relying on fixed distances or durations. Even as space stretches (⟷ varies), the Phlash remains invariant maintaining projection rhythm.
Analogy: The Projector
Think of the Phen as a film projector in a dark room. It does not emit time or space. It allows projection to occur. Each Phlash is one act of projection, a discrete scalar event (⚟ᶠ). Each Phield Phibre is a line of light from the source. What appears on the screen (Philter) is a Phenom & what we perceive as continuity is just a high Flash Rate of projection events & we are unable to see the gaps between frames. See Phluidity
Time, Tension, & Observation
Now, stretch your mind a little further.
We’ve said before: Phurlons are stretchable, but traversal time is constant. One Plank (pun intended) still takes the same step no matter how far it’s been stretched or compressed. So if you were walking across a region of dense Phenomenon, you’d still be moving one Plank at a time.
But if I’m observing you from a relaxed, spread-out region of the Phenomena, your steps would appear absurdly fast. To me, you’re warping through space. Meanwhile, if you look back at me, I’d seem to be crawling, barely moving at all.
Time, then, is not a universal beat.
It’s a relative flow, determined by how dense or stretched your Phenomena region is compared to mine. The tighter the mesh of tension, the faster things appear to move to an external observer. Not because time speeds up, but because the Phenomena is folded tighter.
This is Phluidity (≋)
Phurlon‘s Doors
This is just speculation as although my mind sees quantum phenomenon, I am not so strong with seeing macro Physics. However, here are some of those speculations relating to the potential of Phurlons on Physics…
1. This redefinition opens the door to new cosmological models
By expressing the speed of light as a ratio between a stretchable unit of space (⟷) & a discrete scalar projection tick (⚟ᶠ), space decouples from time in the way that relativity hints at but never fully formalises.
Real-world implication:
Cosmic expansion & spatial distortion can now be explained as stretching of ⟷ without requiring time dilation.
It could model the apparent acceleration of the universe without invoking exotic matter or dark energy in the traditional sense.
2. It offers an alternative explanation of time
Instead of seeing time as a smooth continuum or fourth dimension, it’s now described as a discrete chain of projection events or flashes of light from an origin.
Real-world implication:
This has potential to reformulate quantum gravity or time quantisation efforts, where time needs to be treated as discrete, not continuous.
It may be testable by reinterpreting existing phenomena like quantum decoherence, Planck-scale time limits, or vacuum fluctuations through PT model’s lens.
3. It suggests a new way to calculate variation in “apparent constants”
Because ⟷ is stretchable, there is now a structural reason why some physical “constants” (like fine structure constant α) might appear to vary in some cosmological observations — but c remains invariant.
Real-world implication:
Offers a geometric model for explaining observed discrepancies in fundamental constants across space-time (e.g. Webb et al.’s results from quasar spectra).
4. It could inform new kinds of simulation or visualisation frameworks
Because PTM is based on discrete projection events, it lends itself well to computational modelling like voxel-based universes, cellular automata, or scalar field simulations.
Real-world application:
A Phen Theory simulation engine could replace time integration with projection iteration, simplifying how causal systems are visualised in high-energy or quantum-scale regimes.
