Time is not a river. It’s a rhythm of resonance across discrete frames. We don’t move through time — we emerge into each flash frame with memory of the last.
The future is a prediction. The past is a pattern. Only memory gives the illusion of motion.
The Resonance Theory treats “time” as the accumulation of remembered predictions — neural forecasts copied into the next emergent state.
This means the present moment isn’t experienced directly. It’s the brain’s expectation, interpreted as now, then resonantly copied forward.
The illusion of duration is the wobble of emergence — the stitching of flash frames through prediction and resonance.
