Abstract
This paper introduces the Helical Manifold Hypothesis (HMH), a unified geometric and informational framework that models 3D space and linear time as emergent macroscopic phenomena derived from a fundamental, timeless 2D quantum substrate. We propose that baseline energy fields exist on this substrate as highly coiled, localized topological structures. Upon interaction or observation, these wave functions undergo an asymmetric volumetric collapse, uncoiling outward into 3D space to form a visible matter vector, while their anti-matter counterparts remain anchored to the negative side of the substrate. This split establishes physical spacetime coordinates (x, y, z, t). Under this framework, linear time (Δt) is mathematically defined as the chronological rendering latency required for an observer (modeled as a sequential Von Neumann processing architecture) to compute the exponentially expanding quantum entanglement load (SvE). We demonstrate that the universal speed limit c acts as the baseline propagation velocity of the uncoiled helices, forcing a strict trade-off between spatial velocity and chronological duration. Finally, we establish that the macro-structural integrity of the universe is preserved against gravitational collapse by informational degeneracy pressure, treating quantum entropy as the primary mechanism preventing geometric degradation. We conclude by proposing experimental verification methodologies utilizing high-precision optical lattice atomic clocks and macro-scale quantum entanglement interferometry.
