Relational Time

Unlike Newtonian absolute time, ORTT posits that time is a relational construct. In the simulator, the Cyan Line represents the effective time experienced by the object. As entropy production increases, the object "ages" or evolves at a different rate compared to the background coordinate time (Gray Line).

Entropy & Saturation

The theory uses a saturation function, typically tanh(Ṡ), to model the relationship between entropy and time. This prevents "runaway" time scales. You will notice that even if you max out the entropy slider, the temporal divergence approaches a limit defined by the coupling constant α.

Experimental Relevance

While the effects in this simulator are exaggerated for visibility, ORTT predicts fractional frequency shifts at the 10-18 level for optical lattice clocks and measurable decoherence effects in dissipative superconducting qubits.
