Entropy and the Timeless Framework: A New Perspective on Reality

Our universe is in constant motion—galaxies expanding, stars evolving, particles vibrating, and entropy relentlessly increasing. But what if all this change can only exist because it’s anchored to something that never changes?

From my observations, I’ve come to a new hypothesis: for every entropic system—any system that evolves and changes—there must exist a stable, timeless background system that remains completely unaffected by entropy. This background is not just outside the observable universe, but beyond even the higher-dimensional realms often hypothesized in quantum theory and consciousness studies.

The Core Insight

Let’s begin with a key distinction. In earlier ideas, I proposed a higher dimension—a realm where only energy and probabilistic wave functions exist, a space untouched by the passage of time as we know it. However, even in that higher dimension, frequency and vibration exist. That means there’s change, and where there’s change, there’s a form of entropy.

So the higher dimension is not the ultimate ground of stillness.

The newly proposed background is something beyond even that—a stationary substratum that does not involve frequency, vibration, or fluctuation. It has no entropy, no time, no change. It simply is.

Observational and Scientific Parallels

This might sound metaphysical at first, but let’s explore how it aligns with known scientific ideas and why it’s worth taking seriously:

1. Change Requires a Reference Frame

Even in classical physics, motion is only meaningful with respect to a reference frame. You can’t measure velocity without something being "still" to compare it to. So what is the ultimate reference frame for the universe itself? Not space, not time, not even energy—those are all changing. There must be a foundational stillness behind it all, acting as the ultimate reference point for change.

2. Quantum Wave Function Collapse

In quantum mechanics, a particle exists in a superposition of possibilities until observed—then its wave function collapses into a single outcome. But what governs this collapse? What determines which probability becomes real? In previous thinking, I explored the idea that a higher-dimensional energy field allows consciousness to tune into specific frequencies, influencing this collapse. But now I ask: What is it that holds this field itself? What provides the canvas on which even probabilistic waves can exist?

Only a changeless, timeless background can support this.

3. Thermodynamics and Entropy

Entropy always increases in physical systems, from the melting of ice to the decay of stars. But if the whole universe is increasing in entropy, what keeps the system from spiraling into nothingness? Perhaps it’s this timeless background—the cosmic anchor—that holds structure in place even as change unfolds. Without it, nothing could persist, not even momentarily.

4. Consciousness and the Human Body

Take the human body: atoms constantly change, cells regenerate, and entropy rises. Yet something persists across the decades that makes you you. Some call this the soul, others consciousness. But what if this “something” is connected to that same timeless background? A still point within us, untouched by entropy or time.

Scientific and Philosophical Implications

Redefining the origin of time: Time doesn’t emerge from the Big Bang or quantum foam—it emerges from entropy. And entropy, in turn, emerges when the stationary background is disrupted.

Foundation for a new model of consciousness: If consciousness connects to this background, it may explain its non-locality and resistance to traditional physical definitions.

New paradigm for cosmology: The Big Bang might not be the beginning of everything—just the emergence of our physical layer from a deeper, unchanging field.

Final Reflections

We usually think of reality as layers of complexity—from particles to galaxies, from neurons to thoughts. But perhaps the most fundamental layer isn’t complex at all. Maybe it’s utterly simple, perfectly still, and eternally unchanged. Maybe it’s not just the backdrop of the universe, but its very essence—one that cannot be measured, yet without which measurement itself would be impossible.

This idea isn’t an escape from science—it’s an invitation to deepen it.
