Underdetermination and Generation of Time: A Unified Theory in Linguistic Cognitive Physics

抄録

We develop a unified theoretical framework of time based on a minimal nonlinear conserved system. We show that such a system admits multiple interpretations of time, demonstrating the ontological underdetermination of temporal concepts by mathematical structure.

We further propose that, within the framework of Linguistic Cognitive Physics (LCP), time is not only interpreted but also generated through the consumption of differential energy. By integrating physical, interpretative, and generative perspectives, we argue that time emerges as both an interpretative construct and a dynamically produced quantity.

This synthesis provides a conceptual bridge between nonlinear physics, ontology, and linguistic-cognitive processes, offering a unified account of time across disciplines.
