Entropic Time, Psychophysics, and Deformed Neural Dynamics: A Unified Physical Theory for Human Time Perception

Published 28 Jun 2026 in physics.bio-ph, cond-mat.stat-mech, and nlin.AO | (2606.29427v1)

Abstract: We present a unified physical theory demonstrating that human subjective time perception does not track geometric coordinate time $t$, but instead emerges from a local metric mutation driven by macroscopic physical entropy production. By establishing the Nonextensive Troika -- a closed, mutually dependent algebraic triplet linking the phase-space fractal dimension $D$, the conformable derivative order $α$, and the Tsallis nonextensive parameter $q$ -- we eliminate independent phenomenological fitting constants. We prove that the local time metric inherently scales as $tα$, deriving the conformable operator as a necessary kinetic consequence. Furthermore, we derive the $q$-index from the equiprobable monofractal Tsallis entropy $S_q$. This structural closure unifies anomalous neural dissipative transport within a deformed leaky integrate-and-fire framework and analytically predicts macroscopic psychophysical response transitions, providing a clear thermodynamic basis for time dilation in psychedelic states (the REBUS model) and temporal compression during cognitive aging.
