A Simplified Scalar Metric for Environmental Temporal Dilation: The Net Chronokinetic Deficit (Ξ_T)
We extract and formalize a unified, dimensionless scalar parameter—the Net Chronokinetic Deficit ()—from the foundational invariant line element of Chronokinetic Conservation (). By parameterizing total environmental time dilation into a single additive tax identity (), this fram...
